Default Paging C5 tech Pcm question


Can you use a 02 Z06 Pcm with it's current programing on a 97 C5. I would like to elimate the F45 and the tire sensors. I do have some mod's and realize I would have to adjust the spedo with C5 edit because of the different tranny. Thanks in advance

It'd be easier to just use a tech-II to remove the F45 and tire sensors. I know the F45 can be removed that way because it was done to my car, and I think I remember the tire sensors being on the same page. The F45 option at least is in the BCM section, under "reprogram BCM". It'll ask about the Z49 option, and then give you a page of 8-10 things to turn on/off, one of which is F45, another of which is ABS. When you remove the F45 option (with the tech-II or by switching PCMs) you need to remove or disconnect the F45 computer in the driver's side rear storage compartment.

If your dealership is friendly, they might do the tech-II for free, mine did. It only takes 5 minutes if they know what they are doing. The most I can imagine them charging is an hour of labor, which will still be under $100.

You might to find out if LS1Edit can delete F45 and the tire sensors, since with your mods you could probably benefit from dyno tuning, and then you could get them taken care of together.

Good luck,
:cheers:
