Good day all!!
Well, I am not going to jinx myself here, but I programmed the EGS again via my ICOM and ISTA/P... The last time I did it, I did two things different... I only hooked up the durango and two jumper cables... This time I did the durango and my 4.6is with three sets of jumper cables... The other change is the long cable that came with the ICOM... I had it in play last time... This time I hooked the ICOM directly to the OBD port... A little difficult, but at least it won't fall out while programming...
The voltage readings fluctuated maybe .2 volts the entire time... 13.56V (+/- 0.12v)... And I got a status that indicated the module was actually being programmed... I also went into manual selection... I let the software determine the plan of action last time... Additionally, I coded the entire vehicle after the EGS program and coding had completed... Oddly, I got an error on my DSC... Something about it not having the correct parameters for the international something or other... So, after the complete vehicle was done, I went back in and programmed and coded the DSC... that worked too... Actually took longer to program the DSC than it did the EGS at over 20 minutes...
So, I didn't take it out yet... I'm actually nervous... But I did start it... Throttle response was night and day different!! I can't explain it!! WOW!!! I really really hope this programming worked!! I also checked the info using INPA... The VIN for the EGS didn't change last time... Rather odd, but figured it was a status thing and didn't have much to do with programming... Well, this time it changed... and the assembly number got updated too...
My fingers are crossed!! Going for a test drive in about three minutes...
Cheers all!!!
