Drivetrain malfunction with DME unlock with JB4, now trying Bootmod3
I've been running JB4 for about 2 years now and haven't had any success reading or clearing codes (also my remote start didn't work either). So I decided I wanted to switch to Bootmod3.
After getting my DME bench unlocked, I installed the ECU back in thinking that I'll be able to run JB4 still. I reconnected my battery, saw a "Drivetrain failure" error, and couldn't start the car. So... might as well install Bootmod3 now to clear whatever codes there were and run the tunes I wanted, right? While I had the battery disconnected, I removed my JB4 unit and then replugged the two connectors that I had removed originally. I installed first the stock tune, cleared my codes and still had the same error. I've included a picture of all my codes but here they are as a list too:
Some of these might be from mods that I've done. I have disconnected the battery in the engine bay before and had sparks fly when trying to reconnect it for a wipe motor replacement job I did. After that, I had a yellow "PARKING" light show up nonstop on my dash, but my parking brake still activated with the press of the button. I also have a catless downpipe and an MST intake. From the other forum posts that I've read on this topic, there were a lot of instances of forgetting to disconnect the battery or other configuration issues. My main concern was that I saw this error right from the start after the DME unlock. My car was built 12/2019. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here or where to go from here. Any help is appreciated! Last edited by Dilber; 12-12-2023 at 10:36 PM.. Reason: Changed name of title for clarity |

I feel dumb. I figured out the issue. Plug number 3 on the ECU wasn’t strapped down all the way.
I reverted my JB4 back to map 0 and then reflashed my ECU to Stage 2 with Bootmod. Everything works now (even if CEL shows up mid driving 👀 |
