    Brickable warning. How common is this?

    Flashing a 2010 Camaro and the third module down (I think fuel system related), see attached pic. It has a Brickable warning there in red. Opted not to flash that one in case. How rare or common do they brick the ECU?

    Uncommon.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    Relative to the FSCM, do not attempt to write a file from another OS. In other word don't copy a ZL file and write it to an SS platform. That can brick the module for sure.....

    Our software will not allow a write entire on an FSCM, so that shouldn't be an issue.

    Thanks guys. I just read in what was on the car, been making changes and flashing back. No OS changes yet although I will be adding the two bar OS modification in the next few days but that's in the top ECM/Engine module.
