Gauntlet of warnings after flashing
Posted: Sun May 20, 2018 7:13 pm
I have the V2 and just flashed my 2.0T AT Accord. Went with the Dual tune that retains stock boost in ECO mode.
It went through the flashing sequence, the gauge cluster on the car lit up like a Christmas tree during the process which I figured was normal. When the flash was complete the V2 told me to turn car off, then back to on again. I did. Then I turned off again and I finally started the engine. The car displayed 9 warnings right away, ranging from TPMS, brake assist, LKAS, Collision mitigation, etc. Was like that through the entire 20mins test drive. I could not switch between drive modes (ECO, Sport),could only stay in normal D mode. When I got back home I shut the car off, sat for a minute and started it back up again and this time all the warnings were gone and I was allowed to switch between drove modes. Is that normal? no instructions on what to expect after the tune loaded.
To be honest, I felt like I was winging it when I was installing everything. I couldn't find a clear cut step by step set of instructions anywhere that would guide me through the process with notes of what to expect to see along the way. I did see read the quick start guide and used that in conjunction with the V2 tutorial on YouTube a couple times and searched before i started to set it up, still felt a little uncomfortable, but I've owned VW's and have used similar hardware/software to tune all of them so I wasn't afraid of the process.
