Thread: Puma remap erased????

troppojon,

There is a very good chance that it has...

Speaking to Pete from BAS Auto's in regards to the pros and cons of maps, he warns that you ALWAYS without fail need to return the car to normal before taking it to ANY third party for service or specific work.

The reasons for this are way above my understanding of programming and the like. He warns that attaching any programming capable tool to a mapped ECU can damage the "firmware" and cause you to be locked out (not saying this is what happened to you!)

To quote him "if its locked out its scrap"

I would have a word with the guys who have done your map for advice and then try and reload it...

Cheers,

Lou

My understanding is limited but I don't see how plugging any thing into the port can erase a remap.
Surely you can plug in a scangauge or similar to read and erase fault codes but is the mechanics "Launch pad"(or whatever it's called) different.
What I know is the defender doesn't seem as powerfull since he erased the fault codes.

I'm not 100% sure on the puma ecu,

But there may be a 'reset ecu or return to factory settings' option. He may have done something like this to try and clear a fault code.

As said above talk to Pete from BAS.
