HI Guys,
I just got off the phone with both of you and for everyone else here is what I told the two manuals that just received our Tuned ECM's.
I spent an hour at our Saturn Dealer today researching this issue.....Unfortunately GM likes to keep this difficult.
So they did away with the "Crank Re-learn" on the new ECM's but on the '08 (Manual transmissions) they have added a "Clutch Position Sensor Learn" that must be done by a dealer with a Tech2 Unit. Now I did say "A Dealer" and not a "Saturn Dealer", the trick here is that any GM Dealer with a Tech2 unit can preform this procedure. It does not require a re-flash just a quick 30 second Process of pressing the Clutch peddle to the floor and letting the ECM learn where the floor is.
We're Guessing whats happening is that after they put the new ECM's in and after they do the Security Learn that the car is technically ready to start but the car does not know where the floor is because it has not had the "Clutch Position Sensor Learn" done.
The '07 Redlines are not spec'ed out to have the "Clutch Position Sensor Learn" so I'm guessing that they will only need to perform the Security re-learn. Also the Automatics do not require the Clutch Learn process either so you should be good to go as well.
My Apologies for the inconvenience...I only learned of this procedure after the Units Shipped out.
Many Thanks to those front runners for there good spirits to help with this process, overall the entire community will learn from our experience's!
Thank you!
Martin
