ok so i took my car to a local shop with hptuners yesterday to get tuned and they couldn't access my computer because whoever installed my gm stage 2 at the dealership locked up my computer to where i can't put a tune on the ecu. has anyone else experienced this problem from the gms2 tune?

 

you can't lock lsj pcm's.
probably just has the wrong version of the hp tuners software

 

are you positive? i've heard of alot of stories where people on the zzp tune couldn't get into their pcm

 

as far as I've seen in the 4 years I've been tuning these thing you can't tuner lock the ecm. and the issue people probably have with ZZP is they don't have the newest beta version of the software so you can't read the file.

 

thanks for the help. the shop i went to has tuned many lsj's and lnf's so i'm a little confused as to what is going on. the guy that helped me sent an e-mail to hptuners with the file attached so hopefully he will hear back from them and it will get worked out. i'm just a little nervous because i have to pass emissions by the end of january and i need to get a code deleted

 

The LSJ ECU can be locked, however I have never heard of a dealership locking an ECU.

 

Can you post up an HPT infolog for us?

also, what error was coming up? Invalid OSID/VIN pair or something else? Please be as specific as possible.

 

Do you still have a/c? if not maybe they somehow installed the gms3 tune file.

 

i do not have the infolog, but the guy at the shop e-mailed it to hptuners. i will try and get it. i still have a/c. it's definately the gms2 tune

 

you can lock lsj pcms, ASK OTTP lol they do themselves. a member on here had a canned tune from them and i was gonna fix his pos tune but could because it was locked. thank god he had a spare pcm..

member name is cobaltss89

 

well I guess they just started letting you do that with hpt I know the tuner lock didn't work on the lsj pcm's for quite some time.

 

We don't lock pcm's.

 

^^^^^ josh I sarted downloading a tune but could not becuz it was locked. If ud like verification. The owner of the locked ecu is cobaltss89 pm him and ask him if u want.

 

I'm telling you we don't lock them. You probably had another issue that was stopping you.

 

Yeah I highy doubt that since I tuned 10 balts that day and he had his spre pcm. So I tuned it. I tried more then 5 times and his pcm was locked. It would start loading the tune then stop saying we couldn't download it because thr pcm was locked. I'm not lieing m kyle cobaltss89 and ask for ureself.

 

I think he still has the spare pcm.

 

Probably just didn't gave the right version of the software. Some people get the betas and if you don't have it you cant read the tune

 

Lol. Haf the newest beta at the time. I did two balts that had ottp tunes one was locked.they prob accidentialy did it. Who knows.

 

Well I went and tried to lock a pcm and I can't even select the feature to lock a lsj pcm. So it must have been something else wrong.

 

Nope
..... are u doing it correct. Did u use a old beta ecu tune with a new beta. I know the ecu I tuned was locked because e had a spare cm, and I tuned several balts that day. I tried multiple times to download the tune but nope coudnt. It said sonthing about it being locked or somthinf to that sort.

 

ive never heard of locking LSJ ecu's

 

Go try and lock one yourself and post up the screen shot. I can't do it here and I proved it.

 

I've ocked on before lol. My own car. Its bye bye its totalled I'm tuning a car soon ill lock it and show u if he shows up.

 

Damn I hate my phone lol

 

Make sure you are using the right vin #. I had so much trouble getting trifecta tuned one time first because I did not have the right cable for an 06 and second because I had a zzp canned tune that was a different vin # and was also off of a damn malibu
