Replacing the computer due to Recall
I made a mistake and took my car in for the recall. Now my computer has been reset, my setting wiped, and I need to put a new one in.
I've taken out the stock computer and am replacing it with another.
What are the instructions for putting in a new computer? It's in place and ready to go, I just think there are instructions for resetting, or something.
Turn the key and wait 30 seconds????
Thanks in advance.

Are you referring to the PCM ?? If you have a custom tune a flashing of the PCM by the dealer will wipe out your tune. If that happens you need to get it retuned or, if you where smart enough, download a copy of you tune that you saved in HP tuners or LS1 edit.
It sounds like you have a "backup PCM" withnyour tune stored on it. If that's the way you store your tune you should send the PCM you took out to your tuner to have it reprogramed to you specs so that the next time your desaler wipes you tune you'll be able to switchout your PCM.
By the way the C5 has several (4 or 5?) "computers" ( perhaps EvilTwin will enlighten us with the exact number) so the phrasiology my "computer" is a little obsolete and confusing.
