Uprev Tune and ECU reset
 

According to my tuner: Yes. He said I should visit him first before visiting stealership for any (motor) issues.

Oh man if the dealer flashed your ECU your tune is gone :/ you're have to get a new flash as your ECU Rom has now changed .
Always see your tuner for CELS first

Reset or flashed/updated?

If reset, then you may or may not have lost your tune. If flashed/updated, you definitely lost the tune and may need a different tunable ROM file -- see the tuner.

Reset no, re flashed yes.

its just an evap leak that causes the service light to come on once in awhile...it hasnt came back on since but if it does i hope they only reset it and not reflash

Just use your Uprev cable and your laptop and clear out the light yourself.

This right here. Resetting the ECU to clear the codes and stored memory will not hurt your tune, but if they did an ECU reprogram or firmware update.. IE reflash.. then yes your tune would be gone

i didnt get a cable...chuck was i suppose to? all i did was pay for my license and a tune and my tuner tuned it for me

alright thanks guys so its reset yes reflash NOO

There are several options. Most of them come with the cable. It costs a little more, but it's well worth it. You don't need the license that allows you to tune it yourself, but the cable would be a good thing to get. Give your tuner a call and see how much the cable would be.

what does the cable do?

It allows you to connect the car to your laptop and clear codes and data log.

It lets you reflash yourself, so you can reflash updates or remove the license and sell it used if you want to. You also have access to Cipher so you can perform misc OBD2 diagnostic functions like checking and clearing codes, etc.

The cable is $225 unless you can find a used one

oh i got scared i thought i got robbed and my tuner was suppose to give me one all i have is the license

It's worth picking up, especially if you have a recurring code.
