Hypertech code: 6D Cal Not Found
I need help with a Power Programmer III 30025 that I purchased from another forum member. The programmer is throwing a code '06D-Cal (calibration) Not Found' when it is about to go in to programming mode.
When I called Hypertech, they said it was because my car's computer has been altered to something other than stock and the programmer can not recognize it. They said I can send it back to them and they can correct it for $250.
I have no idea what has been done to the car's computer as I bought the car used a few years ago. I would think that through various dealer visits over the years, they would have reflashed the computer by now. Does anyone know how much a dealer will charge to return it to stock? That seems like a better option than returning the programmer to Hypertech for $250. Or does anyone here have any better suggestions?
Thanks,
Shawn.

Also, unless Hypertech has changed their policy, you must send a copy of your receipt to prove you are the original purchaser of the HPP III or they will not re-program it. At least that is what I was told about a year ago. So I have an HPP III doorstop.
Besides, everything I've read seems to indicate that the factory programming is pretty good performance wise. The only programmers that do better are the ones like LS1 edit and such. I've yet to read where any of the handheld programmers make a useable difference in performance.
Sounds like a good magazine article subject though. Any mags willing to take it on?

I had no idea about this. How then can they claim a 17+ HP gain over stock programming?
If I knew about this, I would have never bought the thing. I guess I will be putting it up for sale shortly.
