Default My check engine light errors, and Wetterauer's response...

My first email to them;

"Hello, I had my chip reprogrammed as a .8 bar chip back in February. Since
that time I have been getting a check engine light diagnosed as a checksum
error in the control module. I cleared the code and swapped the stock chip
back in and all is well. When I put the .8 bar chip back in I get the same
error. I have determined it is the chip that is causing the error. The chip
actually performs great, but there must be either a bug, or there was a
problem when the program was burned on. I myself had to program many
thousands of EPROMS in my career and understand that sometimes a flash
doesn't always program as intended. I will be sending the chip back to be
reprogrammed, please remember that it is a .8 bar program and not a 1 bar
program. It should arrive sometime next week, please call me if there are
any issues.

Thanks,

Michael J. Keller"

Hi Mike,
Sounds as though your thoughts about the actual chip itself could be right
on, if a check sum code is coming up. That is definitely not normal. Thanks
for the new address, I will update my files.
