Default PECUS E

Hi all,

I did some major engine rework back in May this year and since then I was coping with low power. I hear you say, well why didn't you check the timing once more? Yeah, did that last week. Timed the engine at TDC last time, except it should have been at 5 degrees ATDC. Silly me, didn't use the crankshaft locking tool (but had it laying around) but rather a dial indicator on cilinder number one. As I had low performance and the idea that I did the timing correctly I went to a guy that works a lot with jaguars. First thing he said: "is the timing correct" and I of course said yes. I was blaming the LPG system that's on my engine and maybe a remap of the ECU that was fitted for LPG and he believed it could be aswell, so he proposed to reflash the ECU with the stock code. During that it went into a PECUS E error and that's where I am stuck now.

I have access to SDD/IDS with the original VCM1. Is there a guide for IDS to reprogram the ECU? If that's not possible, I have another ECU laying around without a PECUS error, but the immobilizer is preventing start.
Any thoughts? Let me know.

i doubt they could remap the ecm

just run immobilization setup in the set up and config menu and it will start up

Sorry for bringing up an old topic.

I've finally rebuilt my engine and it is performing magnificently, but I've still got the Christmas tree of a PECUS error on my dash. I am now looking into buying another set of an ECU/KTM with keys. But I am quite sure that there's another way of solving this. @xalty you mentioned running the immobilization setup, can you please lead me to where I can find that within SDD/IDS?
