Default Predator Problems?????

installed the performance tune in my 00 vert and everything went good...then i talked to gmosley and decided to try and change the timing and shift pressure ...well i went in there and changed that and when i tried to install it ....it goes through the loading process and when it's all done it gives me a "script error" loading failed message????
but i can then go back to performance tune without adjusting any perimaters and it loads right up?.....any help would be much appriciated

This is just a shot in the dark...

Where did you get the "performance tune". Mine came with a preloaded performance tune from SLP. I've been able to mod the tune as I have needed or wanted with no error codes.

It may be that the "tune" you have does not allow for the variables you are trying to input.

or, the tune prevents variables from being entered that the tune considers would be harmful...

just guesses. I'm hoping someone else can help you out more.

Do you have magnetic ride? If so you must pull the fuse for it, as it will cause script errors. You have to make sure that EVERYTHING is off. CC, Radio, AC, electro mirrors, everything.

The Predator does this every now and again.

I've had this happen too. Just have to keep trying and eventually it will work. Make sure the doors are closed too. Very sensitive device.

i had to install my modified parameters tune twice as well i got the same script error you are talking about the first time i tried
the reduced engine power code on the dic freaked me out when i did the install at first
just make sure every accessory is off
i did mine with the windows down and set the predator on the roof when i did mine just so i wouldnt have to sit in a hot car while it uploaded the new program
