No updates from me. I have not had time to pull the PCM since I was out of town for 10 days for the holidays.

I can't even get mine to turn on- Getting the "NO BuS" error on the panel and the #E-55 error.

Probably shouldn't have been screwign with it on a friday night......

Default Update on Bricked JKU

I talked to superchips today as this is their first day open since 12/24. Tried uploading new software with their techs 3 times, was finally told to remove my ECU and send both the ECU and the programmer to them......um...ok, Its a six month old Jeep. I am not pulling the ECU myself. Finally they came back and said to have it towed to the dealer and they would pay for a reflash. Hopefully that works.

Oh I got it running and dropped it off at the dealer, On another forum there is a workaround to get the jeep to essentially limp- using any programmer or DTC reader, you can clear the DTC's and it will start and run in diagnostic mode. I only had to go 1/2 mile to the jeep dealer.

I'll let you guys know how it goes....

yea that could be ugly. what did the local jeep dealer say? were able to get you back up and running? I would be worried about having warranty flagged on a new jeep.

I'm wishing you luck on this, and I'm not trying to throw bad juju your way, but I wouldn't expect to drive away with much of your Jeep warranty intact after the dealer flags your VIN. The minute you modify your PCM programming, all bets are off.

Good luck - let's hope you get hold of a cool dealer.

We are in the same exact situation. The dealer couldnt help me though, their programmer could not talk to my PCM. It is my busiest time of year at work so I have not even had time to pull the PCM, I just want the damn car fixed.

They are about a 3.5 hour drive from me. I want to call them and say hey, I am driving up Sunday (my only day off), can you have someone there to fix it.

they offer such a good warranty in there propaganda you would think they would send some one to your house to fix it.

I cant believe the shit you guys have gone through. They should send you a fucking PCM while they troubleshoot your issue! Bullshit!
