remove which fuses to flash with SCT
 
I have the excalibrator 2 and i know you have to remove the fuel pump fuse but which others do you need to remove? Can someone post a picture so i can actually see which ones or a diagram of which ones to remove please. Also does the car need to be started or just "on" to flash? Is there a website with a link i can find all the information, i searched but cant find anything.

Ive never unplugged mine and I dont think anyone else does either.

mpt_1962 06-09-2007 04:44 PM

does the car have to be running or just "on" or acc to flash it though? thanks for the info on not needing to remove fuses!

your x-cal didnt come with instructions?

you dont remove the fuses, they only tell you to remove the fuses so you dont kill your battery. i never removed the fuses....

you dont start the car you just turn to the key to the 'on' position. then you'll here your fan turn on...

how do you know when its done tuning? Thats when the fan comes on? No it didnt come with instructions...my buddy bought it for his car but wrecked it a few days before he got it so i bought it from him. Its already been used on my car once but i need to change the tire/rim settings since i got bigger tires.

it will tell you on the screen when its done. it will something like PCM download complete press select or turn key off press select and your done.

I actually talked to someone at SCT and they said that's for older car's not 99 and above.

mpt_1962 06-10-2007 12:22 PM

what is for the older cars? Does anybody know the proper procedure then?

oohsoobad2 06-10-2007 12:47 PM

I just bought a new X Cal2 for my 99 and in the instructions it says to pull the fuse for the fan and fuel pump. I was just going to unplug the fan, the pump wont run for long.

mpt_1962 06-10-2007 12:53 PM

ok so you are supposed to unplug the fuel pump and fan...can you show me a picture of which fuses they are or give a detailed description please

oohsoobad2 06-10-2007 12:58 PM

Unplug the fan at the fan, forget the fuses.

mpt_1962 06-10-2007 01:03 PM

good idea...thank you very much!!

You Do Not Have To Unplug Anyting!!!!

I Repeat Nothing!!!

Just Hook It Up,download The Tune And Your Done!!

Geez!

People try and give advise and then people don't believe you WTF!!

As I said before the fuse and pump are for alot older car's not 95 and up!!

Your trying to make it seem harder than it is.It's so easy a Caveman could do it or even Badfish lol

stanger00 06-10-2007 07:19 PM

you know what do what the **** you want.....believe that jackass that says to do it the instruction way.....i cant count the times i adjusted my tune with the x-cal...the whole process takes about 5 minutes.

next time use the F'n google button and find SCT's website

edit: your in the desert...wait till you have the car in front of you to try this stuff out. thats the only your going to understand.

i unplugged those 2 fuses and i tried to tune my 98 gt and it said it wasnt reading the computer properly or something, so i put em bak in and it worked so id recommend not taking ne fuses out.

its just so your batt doesnt die while uploading the tune. So if you have a good batt there is no problem if yours is low well i would fix that.
