2009 FG Spanish Oak Fail-MAYBE

[Grant LS1]

Howdy all just chucking it out there,

I've wasted a few hours trying to read a 2009 FG XR6 N/a 6 speed manual, with either 2.24 or 2.25 it comes up with fail to initialize ignition sequence, but then I leave everything wired the same (bench or in car) & plug a 2007 BF Spanish Oak controller & it reads fine?

I have asked HPT support about it but they say it can only be the controller on it's way out, but it has no issues apart from the fact I can't get a read of it, I'm thinking maybe it needs a higher FEPS signal, but not sure why the 2007 wouldn't need the same.

That is a strange one. If one PCM works, and another does not, it has to be something with that specific PCM.

mine says that every now and then .when you tell it not to read the trans.or write to trans.

Yeah Eric it does seem like it may be a PCM fault, but I just wasn't sure with it being a different service number & 2 years newer if people knew whather they may need extra voltage to PCM or FEPS over the older controller's.

Interesting to hear I have seen similar with the Beta software on the Alloytec PCM's too when trying to disregard the TCM, but with this 2009 Spanish Oak as it's a manual PCM it's a bit hard to tell it to read the TCM!
