So where "we" headed with this?To the dealer to try to reflash the ECM with it's base map to clean-up a possible bug in the ECM itself? Then reflash with the SERT map?

Good question............

He's using cables from an older SERT, bought the "F" package, and attempting to flash using the "J" Software.

We eliminated the USB/Serial adapter by attempting to flash with a desktop that had onboard Serial ports. Still same brick wall.

Could be a bad cable, fault in the interface, or bug in the ECM. Dealer did replace his ECM recently; but when communicating with the bike, the ECM comes up with proper part number. Also has the 0903 Torque Smoothing download.

He's gonna discuss it with the dealer and see what shakes out. My uneducated guess is they will need to reflash his ECM and try the SERT from there.

FWIW I used a mixed match hardware/software combo and (knock on wood) it went smooth.

You guys aren't usingtheVista Operating System by any chance?

 

Windows XP Pro on the laptop and desktop............

There is a question..... Was the SERT purchased and used on the PREVIOUS ECM????

If so, there is your problem.....

New ECM, but the key is encoded to the old ECM......

 

Bob:

That's an excellent observation. I "think" the SERT was used prior to the ECM replacement because there was an instance ofthe SERT finding aDTC being set for the rear O2 sensor that required the ECM replacement.

But, doesn't the SERT lock to the VIN of the bike vs. directly to a single ECM?

Thanks for any insight you can offer.

VIN for the BIKE.....

The ECM has it's own "Key".... Kinda like a software registration/activation key.....

Whenever an ECM that has been race tuned is replaced under warrenty, HD must provide a replacement SERT key.....

 

Hmmm........"now" I understand what your saying. I bet that's what has happened and will call him to pass along this information.

I really appreciate your help! Your an asset to this forum.
