Default Diablo Sport Predator error code

I just purchased a Predator V.7r99 for my 2005 C6 M6. When connecting for the first time, I received an error code "12596660 part not found" after I selected "manual transmission." What cound this be? I have the right unit, a U7191 for the LS2.

Here's what I think is going on:

You have the correct Predator, but your PCM may have an older version of GM software. Apparently your dealer can re-flash your PCM to upgrade it to the latest level of software - at least that's what Diablo says, and a couple of other forum members have apparently had that done.

The other option is to load an older version of Predator software, such as 7r93. I saved that on my computer from earlier this year and can send it to you if you need it (I saved 7r93, 95, 97, and 99 files).

The best thing is probably to get your PCM flashed at your Corvette dealership - that way you can take advantage of Diablo's latest Performance Tune.

Bob,

You "the Man!"

That would be great if you could send me the older file too until I can get it to the dealer for a re-flash. What version do you think is loaded in my 2005? Thanks!

I don't know how to tell what version of the PCM software is loaded - I assume the flash is done with a TechII and I guess that tool will show what version of the PCM file is loaded in your car, but I don't know.

PM me your email address and I'll send an email with the Predator .crom files as attachments so you can download them to your computer.

Then you need to get them from your computer into your Predator. You need to hook the Predator up to your computer, and you need to have Diablo's downloader application.

You've probably seen this thread, but click on the link below and scroll down to post #13 where there is another link to the webpage on the Diablo website that has all the instructions for downloading the installer software and putting a v.7rxx file into your Predator.

Older Predator Thread

The rest of that thread also shows and discusses hooking your Predator up to your computer.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Bob

I get that message when I forget to turn the ignition on to accessory before I plug in the Predator.
