i put together parts for a stage 2 and im getting a ottp pcm with a gm stage 2 tune on it. After installing the pcm i know i need a case crank relearn. Can the car be driven without the relearn? Will it be a problem if i drive an hour or so without the relearn??

Also... Someone below posted to just uplug the battery for 30 min. Will this really achieve the same benefits as the case crank relearn??

 

im gonna say you wont be able to drive it but im not 100% sure

 

bump.

 

you should be fine....

i drove mine without a relearn for about a month...and now im doing a whole new build to my car

 

With my ZZP PCM i didn't need a relearn.

 

josh from ottp told me i would need one. I just need to know if i can drive the car to where im gonna get it done after i get the relearn.

Bump

 

Just the check engine light will be on. I had that for bout 20,000 miles. It was fine.

 

Nope. You'll get codes but shouldn't hit limp mode.

You know you can just unplug the battery for like 30 minutes or so and it'll do it...er should do it. It takes the same time to do the relearn. Why is waiting another 30 minutes a problem?

 

Is this true?? Can i really just unplug the battery for 30 minutes and get the same results as a relearn??????

i think so...

 

yes.

really unplugging the battery relearns it, i have a hard time believing this but would like to know if this is true as i just ordered the pcm and kit

 

bump

 

dammit, this doesn't go in General

 

Too bad

no one ever posts in general cobalt anymore

 

You need to take the car to a dealer and have a relearn does this achieves is it relearns the angle between the crank sensor and crank shaft reluctor ring. This will not be achieved be taking power away froma battery.

 

Yes you can drive it to were you need to get the relearn done. I dont know about the battery thing i got the ott kit and drove it to my mechanic with no problem. Till he flashed it back to stock. lol

 

how much did people pay to have this done cuz im gunna need to have it done soon when i get my new pcm from OTTP?

 

I need to know as well if I will have to do a case relearn with the OTT PCM because I'm gonna get their stage 1. Also, what to say to the dealership if you don't want to loose your warranty? Do they get in "suspect" mode if you tell them to do a case relearn to your car? I dont want them to flash my OTT PCM back to stock!

Maybe we can do the case relearn ourself? If yes how could we do it? I would prefer this!!!

 

A tech 2 is the easy way to do it. It usually cost about 40~60 depending on your dealer. It takes all of 3 mins to do and would not mess with your tune. They really don't have to pop your hood to do it either.

 

sweet...thanx man, cant wait to get mine...
