locked pcm

I got a used pcm and its installed in my cobalt , Its running but its gives me an x7f negative response error when trying to read the pcm with hp tuners . Can i get the dealer to flash it back to stock with a tech 2 and be able to use hp tuners ?

Ill find out tomorrow , I gotta get the technician to flash the whole operating system cause if he just writes calibration it wont be unlocked. The weird thing is when i logged my car with this pcm , it has stock timing and boost, the only thing i can tell is the tune is setup for gms1 map sensors.

Did you try pressing the cruise control button to see if its a switchable tune?

Well dealership charged me 180$ for nothing . I told them to flash the operating system and that a calibration flash wont fix it but i guess they didnt listen. They are horrible wouldnt even let me talk to the tech that flashed it ::/

Ive flashed with sps before and theres no option to do one or the other. Pretty sure it does the whole thing all in one go.
