Should the odometer say "Error" after a calib write?

[TheWastedYears]

Right after my calib write completed, the odom flashed "Error." Then everything reset, gauges came back on, etc. Car started fine.

After that, I read the PCM and all the changes took.

Is this something I should worry about?

It always does that, I think it's the BCM losing comm with the PCM perhaps? It will say the same thing if it fails in the middle... but it stays there till you re-write.

Just wanted to make sure.

I haven't really been able to test the new changes. Traffic around here is freakin' absurd until at least 11pm.

The car idles. I know that much.

I have good stretch of road right in front of the house. I'd trust a full out 2nd gear run, which is good enough for most of my stuff, but not much faster than that if I want to be safe.

Exactly. The cluster (IPC) is a member of the network as well.During a write other modules can get a bit PO'd when the PCM quits talkin to them.
Clear any U-codes if you want, but they have no ill effect

Which makes me wonder: Has anyone had a run in w/ the law while doing tune/log runs?

I've had LOTS of those experiences over the years LOL
(and a few "close calls" with the ditch or traffic as well)

One cop even threatened to give me a "Dangerous Driving" citation for road testing with a TECH2 one time, when he seen me with the T2 hanging from the steering wheel.

Another one started to give me a hard time but in the end just wanted to look under the hood of the Grand National I was "logging" (GM calls them SNAPSHOTS)

HPT is even worse !
(and it wont hang from the steering wheel)
Is there anyway to assign the space bar or something easy like that to trigger the logging???

spacebar already starts/stops scanning

For those with the MPVI Pro the blackbox datalogging feature will be available for beta very soon and general release in v2.1.12 (our next release).

Chris..

LOL figures... there's me trying to use a damn mousepad at 100mph!!
(I thought I had tried the spacebar and observed it didnt work- but maybe I was in log review mode?)

Chris, will you post on your site when the logging beta is released??

Yes, there will be much noise
