Had to bring it to the dealer for service so I flashed it back to stock, aware they could find that out but figure have auto start/stop off might flag attention.

Took it home and thought to update the mycalibrator first to see if any updates out there. There was, updated it and then attempted to load the tune.

It failed, saying “failed to validate” and now says I need to recover the ECU. This I have tried numerous times and it continues to fail. The car won’t start and I can’t even load the stock tune. Have reached out to Livernois but figured to post here maybe this has happened to others.

I took my 21 st in for the rear diff bolt recall and after my goosetune wouldn’t work anymore. Contact your tuner for an update.

They probably reprogrammed PCM for automatic parking brake when placed in park, rendering the current tune unusable. Any update to the PCM requires an adjustment to the tune.

Contact Livernois and the guys will get you fixed quickly, I’ve had the absolute best experience with them.

Did they in fact flash your PCM? Check your invoice. Just like when you first got your Livernois, you need to make sure the strategy code didn't change or you would need a different tune from them. Happened to me a few years back. Livernois reset the device and started from scratch including re-saving the new stock tune. Unfortunately it sounds like you may have to get it towed to the dealer for PCM reflash.

They sure did flash the PCM and worked with Livernois this morning to get back running. Really really great place to work with, techs took the time and walked we through a reflash and it fired right up.

Thanks for all the comments.
