Now I am really concerned because I cannot flash it to the correct tune and I am running e85 in the tank. I cannot put it back to stock either. When I plug the tablet into my computer it reads the VIN and everything else, but when I plug it into the ECU it cannot read it at all.

Should I just continue driving around and try to reflash in a couple of days?

I've contacted Shiv via e-mail but it is the weekend so I am not expecting a reply till tuesday or so.

I might be overreacting but I am slightly freaking out because this is a new car.

Any help is appreciated

disconnecting battery will not effect a tune already flashed into ecu.


As long as you did not disconnect battery during flash it likely ecu is fine.


I suspect its just a cable or odb port problem.


If car starts and runs ecu is fine.


ensure cable it plugged all the way into obd port and also into oft.


see if oft diagnostics will work or ECU info


try putting forward or backward pressure on obd connect plug.


sounds like is a connector issue
