Please try again." I did a lot of forum searching and I'm starting to fear that the previous owner locked the ECU with an ecutek/brzedit tune and never flashed it back to stock. Just wanted to see if this is indeed the case or if there's a sure way to find out. The current calibration code is ZA1JA01C. Thanks in advance!

See if the oft will read ecu info
see if oft will log data

of oft will log data and read ecu info

then it working ok

if the read button is not greyed out ie its active and the oft wont read ecu then its almost certianly locked by brzedit or ecutek.

hopefully its ecutek as you jist got a bonus ecutek licience worth $350 in ecu

theirs no easy way to tell if its brzedit or ecutek.

you could try pulling the cruise stalk toward you with cruise off, and see if taco jumps to 1,2,3,4 this would indicate ecutek tune
