Well i have decided to get rid of the Spectre intake, i can really tell it is hurting the performance of the truck in the 105 degree weather. I am going to do the gotts mod with the stock intake. Question is do i need to set my edge back to stock before removing the neg battery cable for 30 mins or so? Or can i leave it on level 2 and disconnect the battery? IS there any chancr that disconnecting the battery with the edge will trigger my pats system again?

 

Come on guys stop being shy i know someone here know's. Would like to know this evening im planning to do it early in the morning

 

1. Congrats on finally listening

2. No need to disconnect the batt. Adaptive will adjust in time during normal driving. This will also alleviate any 'disconnect' concerns.

3. IF yer disconnecting as a safe work practice - good idea, that - just remove yer Edge from the OBDII port. The loaded tune will be fine in the PCM. Reconnect the batt and the Edge and initialize in the normal fashion (see manual) when ye done.

Thank ya sir thats what i was wanting to hear

 

HANG ON a second, sir!

I just realized you have an '03 - you MUST disconnect the battery since you will be disconnecting the MAF sensor harness to the PCM for reinstallation into the stock intake. And the IAT sensor, which is less of a concern, but still prudent.

It is always a safe bet to cut power when doing this. See my item # 3 in the post above.

Sorry about that, bud.

to be safe i would change the edge back to stock. you will re-set the computer if you disconnect it for that long. but i dont see the concern to disconnect it, just change the intake and let it ride. the MAF will adjust also itself since it wont be on when you do the change.

 

You only clear out the KAM (adaptive, fuel trims, etc) - the loaded tuning is not affected at all. ( BTW - the very act of reflashing the PCM to stock resets the PCM)

But - if it makes you more comfortable, by all means do so.

Are you sure about it this time j/k thanks for the help
I think im going to set to stock, last month i had a episode where the edge made the pats go into lock mode and 2 days later and 100 bucks for towing and reflash i think it would be safest. Thanks

 

There is no needto ever go back to stock just to disconnect a battery. Whatever tune is in the PCM remains there unchanged.

 

yes but my point was whatever the computer learned with the new settings/adjustments will be lost either way. but you say it in so much better detail.

and yes, i was saying pretty much to do it to be safe.

 

My personal feeling that when you needlessly change tunes back and forth, you are risking more than not changing due to the possibility of a weak battery. The tuners requile a full battery charge and if it hangs up during a tune change, that is when you REALLY have a problem.

 

Got it done and works real good!. Scared the hell out of me though when i went to start the truck after the gotts mod and the edge said cannot read pcm. So after turning it off and back on everything working good

 

Your truck just loves messing with your head.

 

Didn't turn the key on engine off then plug it in..........

Check your shorts?

Just giving you a hard time.........
