That data is not stored in the CalPac; it's only kept in volatild RAM and so is lost whenever you remove power from the ECM.

You can use a scan tool, like AutoXray, to scan or monitor (it has two modes) engine operations as well as to retrieve stored trouble codes.

Well your "chip" contains fuel tables, timing tables, TC on/off setpoint and such data.

So I think he meant he'll have a look to see what the current setpoints and parameters are.
