Having trouble reading/tuning fscm hptuners?

When trying to read it I notice it says 2015+Camaro for one thing which is odd. Also after I attempt to read a pop up appears telling me this is not my vehicle and my vehicle can not be read. Then sends me to a save file screen. I save a file. Then click on the system file and it shows nothing has been read. Which is no surprise as the read took no time at all and I just got that error message

I’m an hptuners newb. What am I missing here?

Just trying to tune out my cel from deleting afm valves. I have version 3.6 and also 3.7 beta. Both do the same thing

I'm very much a noob on tuning these control modules, but here is what shows up on my search on FPCM modifications.

https://forum.hptuners.com/showthrea...highlight=fscm

"This warning will come up when ever you try to do a write to the FSCM becasue if you write another Operating System based FSCM file, it will brick the FSCM. You must always retrieve the stock version from the HP Tuners "cloud" whne you read the vehicle/module and put you changes into that file tthen write to the module. What you can't do is say pull an camaro SS FSCM, and rewrite with a ZL-1 file...you must take the ZL-1 changes from theat file and copy/paste to the orighal stock file.

Also, you have to save and remember the modified file, because every time you go and "read" the FSCM, you are getting the original stock file.

Good luck and report back when you succeed.

Thanks for the advice

But the issue was something simple. I was looking under the system tab for the code list and nothing was there. Which is what I seen to do on a vette forum post. The codes I needed were under the fuel system tab. Camaro must be different idk

Anyway got it figured out and no cel so good to go

Glad you figured it out just disregard my PM then. Yes it's under the fuel system tab on our car then all the way to the right is the DTCs tab. I disabled all the same codes from the better forums post only difference being the P12E3 was already set to no error reported on my car. Be sure to save that FSCM file as it's the only copy of what currently exists in your module. Even after the changes you just made if you do a read file it will give you the file you started with (stock).

It's been a while but I will check out your link. I hope it's still relevant.
