Did you buy the Xcal from Bama? Is it a used xcal from an 07 or later car?
The ECM changed in 07.

You might try posting your problem in the forum on the SCT website. They are usually quick to respond.

Default ECM code

OK. The sct was returned to stock be for I got it. I gave bama my ecm code from the sticker on the ecm, and my stratagy code that I read from my car. The only thing I can think of is the dealer may have reflashed the ecm with out putting the NEW Sticker on the ecm. I had the oil done and the recall on the airbag sencer. Thanks for the heads ip on the sct web.
