That's not flashed with a GM tool.
It looked like a MDI 2, blue box, the car works good but it wont let me open the tunes
HPtuners recognizes it as tuner locked. Not corrupt, not unable to open, locked.
A little confused. So after a SPS GM flash for new ECM, it runs and has no drive ability issues. It will communicate with a typical OBD2 scanner. When you go to read with the Editor and attempt to get configuration it won't let you or when you go for a read it times out, or no communication, or gives some form of error.Quote:

I was typing when you wrote this. I have programmed thousands of modules over the last 30+ years at a GM dealer. Never had one that I SPS, programmed that also locked it. Maybe the MDI was used as a passthrough for a different program?Quote:
