The dealership uses a Tech II tool to put the computer in learn mode, depresses the clutch once or twice, and saves it.

Without this process, the computer will not allow the car to start.

 

It's a fun program just in the ECM they added in '08 to insure the clutch was depressed before the ignition will work. A tad more sophisticted than just a clutch sensor. I think mainly to discourage ECM swapping with tuning companies.

 

Ah ok.

GM did get a little innovative with this car.

 

Thats a very interesting thought Stevo and certainly true, but its true purpose falls under a couple things, A: more accurate monitoring of the clutch switch circuits are possible with a 3wire sensor than a 2 wire switch(for circuit diagnostics) B: it is used to determine clutch pedal SPEED, and most importantly, it offers higher resolution data on clutch pedal position for use by the VSES program.

 

And makes shipping pretuned ECMs a big PITA!

 

Does anyone work on the SS/TC in Louisiana???? Stevo, do you ever come to Louisiana??? I heard you been @ Houston working?

 

He might not make it to Louisiana, but he could send you one of his laptops and do a virtual tune.

 

sweet!!!!!!!!! Thanks man......I really want to kick some ass @ the track

 

virtual tuner will be what you need. PM me

Soon I should have Synapse parts in stock too.
