just a thought here.

When I did the Procomp programmer on my wife's JK to change tire size. After programming the speedometer did not work at all. Returned to stock, and still did not work. I searched online and found others who had had that same problem. The answer was to return to stock, then disconnect the battery for 10 minutes. Reconnect the battery, and then do the new programming. Worked perfectly.

 

Did you get it from Jeff Love?

 

sigworthy lol

 

a lot of the electrical functions were not working. Headlights, turn signals, and windshield wipers will not work. At night, the headlights are on, but the light switch will not work.

sounds like problem with your clock spring or steering control module, I had same thing nothing to do with the superchips.

Disconnect your battery overnight it fixed mine and I know another guy had same trouble fixed his. It happened to mine about 3-4months ago and his 8months before that. If the battery doesnt fix it you'll probably need to replace the clock spring in the steering wheel.

 

It worked just before I switched out the program, so I doubt that it broke while sitting in my driveway. Remember it was installed and working correctly well after the install of the lift and alignment.

I will try the battery disconnect and see what happens........thanks for the tips!

 

this is interesting. I also have the flashpaq and have some gremlins. I also have the aeroforce interceptor gauge. Maybe one of these is causing my gremlins. The first issue is the dang MIL light. it comes on at highway speeds at all different tranny temps, could be anywhere from 135 to 200 and its very random. When I check the DTC's, nothing comes up except a TCC out of range (i'm missing a TPMS stem). So I reset the DTC's, the light goes out and I'm good for another run until I hit the highway. Very random and I'm convinced my tranny is not overheating. My other gremlin is with the factory remote starter. This is odd, now that its getting colder out we have tried the remote starter a few times. It works fine starting the jeep, but after about 30 seconds, the jeep just shuts off and will not re-start via the remote. here's where this gets weird, I had the oil changed today (go ahead blast away for paying someone else to deal with it). I explained what the remote starter was doing to my friend behind the counter. When the tech brought my Jeep around front I hit the remote starter to show them the problem, guess what? yep it didn't shut off.. go figure how an oil change can fix that? maybe it was the tire rotation... I dunno, it just did it when I started it to go get the dang oil change.
Sorry to hijack, just figured I would merge our issues and see if anyone else has similar..
I might try the disconnect the battery idea.

 

Hoopa there are many many more people having electrical gremlins with the JK that dont have the superchips, I really dont think it has anything to do with it. Return yours to stock to see if any of them happen without the superchips programming, I bet they do.

 

roger that, whats the recourse? should i have it re-flashed at the dealership or?

 

have what reflashed? if you mean to put the jeep back to stock, no you hook the superchips back up to the jeep then instead of installing 87 or 91 tune you will see "stock" in the list, that returns jeep to stock, completely removes the superchips programming. You are supposed to do that when you goto the dealer for any work where they may need to hook up their scanner to the jeep as their scanner wont read the superchips program correctly.

 

GREAT I'M SCREWED AGAIN!!!!

 

Nah, chances are it's a Jeep issue and not a superchip issue me thinks (atleast on mine). Besides, your Flashpaq has more value being that it was the center of a Scandal. It belongs in a glass case on your Mantel, a keepsake for the grandchildren.

 

You ain't kidding. I'm affraid to take it out of the box. Like the avatar?

 

yep just noticed it.

 

Actually I had the same problem. What you have to do is:
1. If your already programmed, change what you want updated such as tire size etc.
2. RE-FLASH whatever grade of gas you want to use.
Changes to gearing or tire size doesn't change until you actually reflash the octane programming. I had the same prob, made the changes, told it I wanted to optimize for 87 octane reflashed again and bingo bango bongo works like a dream. Just changing the gearing doesn't update the computer until you actually reflash octane settings. I don't know why but it works. G'luck!

 

Thanks for the help guys......the battery disconnect worked like a charm!

 

thats good news :bounce:

 

I have another problem that needs some help. Sorry for the long post.

I installed the SC on my jeep but noticed the speedo/odometer were not working and the engine light was on. I returned to stock and it was still like that.

I installed the SC on my wife's jeep and it all worked fine.

SC tech support said "the SC just amplified an exsisting vehicle problem" so I took it to the dealership. They changed out a speedo senser, ABS module, and reflashed it. Got it back 4 days later with a working speedo/odo and no engine light.

I return my wife's jeep to stock. *I didn't drive it around but it all looked good.

I installed it on my jeep and it worked this time. I did the 87 octane and the tire size. I haven't done the TPMS yet.

I have my wife complaining that her speedo isn't working and she has the check engine light also.

I can't believe that she has the exact problem that my jeep had. Is this a SC flashpaq problem? Will the disconnecting battery idea work? I don't want to take hers into the dealer and say oh yea I was here last week, but now my wife has the same problem. I will call SC tomorrow but was hoping for some idea before that.

 

When I used the SC for the first time the speedo would not work and the engine light came on. I set it back to stock and tried again, with same result. I had to do it a third time before I got it working properly. What I did notice is that the steps to set the programing are very finicky. If you don't do it just right it seems to bring on some issues.

 

Well sorry to hear all the trouble guys. But I just installed and tried the 91 setting. Worked with no problem but for some reason my tires made a really loud chirp from first to second. Think I should try the battery fix to fix it or just take the lead out of my boot.






Hope you guys get it figured out for when I have problems.

 

It looks like just re-installing fixed it.

I returned my jeep to stock and verified speedo and everything was ok. Then installed on my wife's jeep and verified speedo working. Then returned hers to stock and now she doesn't have the speedo/engine light problem anymore. I will install it back on mine next.

Talked to SC and the guy said he never heard of the speedometer not working afterwards.
