Hello Everyone,

Here's what happen. I have a '05 GT with a tuneable induction intake and Xcal2 tune. I've been running this for about 2 years now. I accidently left my radar detector plugged in and my battery died. I jump started it and drove around for a few days but the car still started really weak. So I decided to get a new battery.I install the new battery butmy odometer reads "------" and after the car goes through the system checks,it says "DTE ODO DATA ERR". The car won't start. I plug in the Xcal2 and scroll through to change the tune back to stock but when I turn the key to "ON" to start the process, the Xcal2 turns off and goes blank.

From what I've searched, it seems that any PCM or tune problems that people run into seem to get fixed through the tuner company or by resetting their cars back to stock at the dealership. My problem is that the dealership says they can't connect to my PCM and that I need a new one ($687) and SCT won't answer their phone or return my emails. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions before I have to buy a new PCM. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Give the company that you bought your tunes from a call...They should help.

How many miles are on your car?

Are you still on warrenty?

Check the fuses behind the passenger kick panel. look at #8 or 10, I forget which one. It controls
the OBD port. It happend to me.

Sorry to hear that. Sct has real bad customer service. None of my emails or calls about their tuners were replied to.

The OBD port has power, it's just that Ford saystheir laptopwon't communicate with the PCM. My tuner also powers up but when it says to turn the key to the "ON" position to start the load, the tuner blanks out. SCT still won't answer my calls or emails. I think I may have to start looking into a replacement PCM.

That is if I don't break it for causing all these problems to begin with. I don't even need a radar detector when I'm going 5mph in LA traffic. Thanks for the advice though.

So no one else has had this issue?

Any chance at all of sct fixing the tuner?

I was hoping for that but they will not answer their phone or my emails. Any suggestions about contacting them? Anyone on here know someone from there?
