Thanks for the hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I do have a BHRH, Sorry for the misinformation,Momentary lapse of left side brain function!!!
I want to thank both of you for helping me get a foot on the ground!
So the program ID takes precedent over the ECM number then?
That was my problem I was thinking I had to have a matching ECM number and the programID was secondary. Thanks for helping me understand, just a little dyslexicproblem I guess. Now that I have been looking for a few days I see the same ECMnumbers are used in lots of different vehicles just running different code.
The explanations are just what I needed to get a meaningful start.My main concern originally was just getting the thing talking to the motor andnow that I have that behind me and with your help I think I can see how thefiles fit into the puzzle. I have to admit I was jumping the gun thinking Icould just sort of wade in and load up some files and see what I wanted to see.
I have to say this is one of the better technical boards Ihave visited (that would be MANY) in that you guys just jumped right in andwithout flaming or belittling you set me on a better path and I hope you willnot have to slap me back on it too many times.
I won’t get a chance to work on it again until this weekendbut I can get everything setup so I can be good to go on Friday afternoon.Hopefully I can digest it all and see through the fog to find my way.
I like to use the fog example in working with new techs sothey understand that when you first begin utilizing a new technology ordiagnosing a complex problem it’s like seeing a mountain miles away through thefog and then as you learn more and more it is like the fog is lifting so youcan begin to see all the details you have to understand or traverse to trulygrasp your quest in totality.
Thanks again guys!!!
