RE: PCIII frying ECM's???
It would seem to me that the PCIII would have to send and receive information from the ECM in order to function which would mean it **could** fry the ECM. I really have no idea if they do or not, but it seems wrong to say that they cannot because they are inline after the ECM.

RE: PCIII frying ECM's???
I agree... Total Horseshiite!!! They haven't actually done anything to the bike yet...so I think I'm OK there.... I installed the PCIII myself and when the tech said that I thought HUH??? That doesn't make sense because its after the ECM, but I knda had a brain freeze... I NEVER take my bike to the dealer, but since the engine light kept coming on and I had the TSSM error code I figured I needed to have it put on the Computer to diagnose the problem... We'll see... they'll probably want me to take it off and do a stage 1 DL..which I never did..

I have an '03 and the PCIII has been on it for about 3 years now. I haven't had any problems with it and I'm happy. Nor did I do a stage 1 download, I wouldn't waste the money if I were you. My stator fried last year and they fixed it under warranty, never even mentioned it could have been caused by the PCIII, but then, they may have if I had told them I had one on it! haha...

The PC only recieves info from the ECM.

Fish - Sorry to hear your bike is down again. That sucks. Looks like you got the answers your looking for on the PCIII and your dope smoking service guy. PCIII is a solid piece of equipment that in no way would cause the ECM to fry. Hope you get it sorted out soon and get back on the road.
