Default Problems with SCT x-cal2

I have been having prolems with my sct tuner.First,It sometimes wont load a tune.I will get an error message saying ECM download failed.Second,I wanted to go to the track today and tried to load my nitrous tune and as soon as it asks you to turn the key on after you have selected which tune to load,I get another message saying Power time out or limit,something like that.I cant return the car to stock or nothing.Ive emailed brenspeed today so I will see what happens with that.Anyone ever have any issues like Im having?Thanks in advance!

If its a Xcal-2 problem you might want to contact SCT's technical department and see if they can help.

I've gotten the failed download message before. Your battery maybe a hair low. Either remove the fan and fuel pump fuses or hook up a 2 amp charger to the battery.
I also find it works much better when switching tunes, to return to stock first.
example: 87P>stock>91P

I was having this exact same problem. I had to format my SCT and reload my tunes to the device haven't had a problem since.

Set car to stock
Format SCT
Reload Tunes to SCT
upload to car.
