U1024 with ecutek?
 

Hello i recently got this code as soon as i flashed the ecu with an ecutek tune, car is a 2013 with a little under 18k miles it has never came up in the past so i feel like it has something to do with ecutek it runs and drives fine as far as i can tell. I thought about flashing to stock and reinstalling to see but i haven't got that far yet, help if you can, thanks

Google is your friend. :tiphat:

i haven't found any that have been from ecutek so I'm seeing if someone has had the same issue, trust me i searched. and also my cable isn't melted like his so that thread doesn't help.

I found 9 links on the forum that deal with that code, one of them would get you in the area. Most of them seem to deal with UpRev problems, no one has reported a problem with ECUTEK, which would make me suspect your tuner 'said' he used ECUTEK, but really used UpRev. (I'm a suspicious azzhole anyway). The code says that the VVEL is not communicating via the CAN link. There are several folks that are tuned on ECUTEK, including folks that are boosted, so IMHO, I'd try going back to the stock map and see what happens. If it clears, then I'd politely question your tuner, maybe he made a mistake.... :twocents:

I'm doing remote tuning with a very well respected tuner, and i am also boosted, also thought about contacting ecutek directly and ask them

First thing I'd do is check the wiring and connectors between the VVEL controller and the ECU. A wire may have been broken or a connector us not plugged in properly. FSM (link in sig) will have wiring diagrams, pinouts, physical locations, etc.

Thanks i will give that a go!

Send a log over to your tuner. He should be able to see something in the logs, make adjustments and have you reflash it.

Who?

I am always suspicious whenever I hear claims about tuners or shops being top notch without any names mentioned...

Seb@ specialty z I'm gonna check everything over and if I find out what is causing it I will forsure report back

All he said was that shouldn't be popping up lol, so I suspect it could be something else

Have you contacted Seb? The couple times my sc z threw codes, I sent him logs and he made adjustments/corrections to the tune, I reflashed the ecu and it was all good.

Well, it's definitely not your tuner lol. Seb is the best there is.

Good luck sorting out the issue. I'd check wiring per SouthArk's suggestion.

Yeah I have and I have loaded multiple ROM files/ updates, it has only popped up twice so far but I will check everything and see what comes of it and for sure hes an amazing tuner to work with and he knows his stuff!

i DID NOTICE MY NEGATIVE TERMINAL WAS A LITTLE LOOSE, i WONDER IF THAT COULD BE THE CULPRIT, WILL FIND OUT I GUESS.

Update: Ecutek dtc tool is not popping up the U code, advised not to worry unless it pops up with ecutek, just going to let er eat.:)

I think this is similar to my situation... I had accidentally left the VVEL module unplugged and got this code... plugged it back in and it was still there in Torque IIRC. Ecutek wasn't showing it, so I just stopped worrying about it an it eventually went away on its own. All of this is IIRC, was a while back.

Yeah the only thing i unplugged was the trans during clutch install, battery unplugged and before that it sat in the garage with a battery tender on it, so we will see, it pops up and says permanent with my harbor freight scan tool but nothing with ecutek dtc tool so im cool with that lol
