PCM Help Needed P0601 And HP Tuners
Hi Everyone I am in search of some help. I have a 2005 C6 Z51 M6 with several mods. I had the car tuned a couple of years ago with HP tuners and never had an issue. This Saturday I went to get the car out of the garage and it would fire right up like normal but then quickly shut off and I would get the reduced engine power message and the P0601 code. I tried to call the shop that tuned it for advice but it seems they have recently shut down. From what I have read it looks like I need a new PCM which I have ordered. My question is it possible to pull the old tune off of the PCM and reflash it on to the new PCM by a tuner? Will the new PCM need to be flashed at the dealer first or can someone that uses HP tuners be able to flash the computer with everything the deailer would be able to such has getting the FOBs to be recognized ect. to get everything working right again. I would really like to be able to use the old tune that was on it and just flash it to the new PCM but is that possible? Also is there anyone that could be recommended that could do this? Thanks for any help.

For starters.... THANK YOU DAVE!!!
Yes, your pcm is dead with the P0601 code. What did you pay for the ECM and where did you get it?
They are getting really hard to come by.
Your best bet is to send me your tune and the pcm. You will need a new license to work with the new pcm on your end,
but if you just want the car exactly as it was without paying, then I can help you.
I get one call every 2 weeks or so for 2005 C6 pcms... In just about every case, we use this unfortunate opportunity to
install my CoW BOOSTER! as it can only be installed here at my place.
It's the best way to TOTALLY TRANSFORM your C6 and is guaranteed to be the most fun mod you ever got for
your car... and it always feels better when you can turn a mess of a situation into a big WIN!
Call me if you want more details. 914-332-0049

Hi Chuck thanks for your replay I will be calling you as soon as I get back in town next week. But I am having a hard time finding the computer do you have them for sale or have any suggestions on a place where I can find one. Also once I do get one will I need to take it to a dealer to get it programed and then send it to you. I see several places where they are available for sale but none in stock and they don't ask for a VIN so how will the computer be programed for every option my particular car has are you able to do that or does the dealer need to program it first?

Be very careful....
wrong year pcm.... It becomes a doorstop. Also, with E40s in 2005 the BOOTBLOCK can be different as at times
you'll be loading a valid calibration into it.... and it still crashes and becomes a doorstop. Ask me how I know.
Leave it to the pros!

I called and talked to him a couple of weeks ago and I think we have a solution if it works out the way he thinks it should. I just pulled out the ECM yesterday so Im trying to get a hold of him email or phone to make sure we are still good to go before I send the old one to him. He thinks he should be able to copy everything over to another working ECM and send it back to me and the car be the exact same that it was and just plug it up and go with the tune it had on it and everything. I think they maybe on vacation or something though right now or just extremely busy.
