I think that just means the ecu has to match the donor car but don't quote me on that.

I believe you need to take the ECU to a dealership and have them provide verification that the ECU calibration is the factory calibration (aka no tune on the ECU).

I got state Ref'd last year for a Cobb OTS tune. It was straight from Cobbs site, I think it was stage 2. Anyways, after swapping back to the original tune, waiting 6 weeks and going through the "phone interview". This is from the email- "Find a smog check station with the ESP GEN 3 analyzer. This is the smog check machine used to test emissions on 1999 and older vehicles, but it can also be used to pull data from newer vehicles. #1. Plug in to the DLC connector on your vehicle. #2. On the screen, go to DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS MENU. #3. Go to OBD II DIAGNOSTICS. #4. On the screen, click on CONNECT, machine will read vehicle PIDS. #5. Click on GET DTCS. #6. Click on GET VIN. #7. Click on GET CID. #8. Click on GET CVN. You can print the screen by pressing FN key and INSERT PRINT SCREEN key at the same time. Also, take a picture of the screen. " After doing all that and submitting all the pics and info, I got put in the waiting Que for another 6 weeks before I was scheduled for a visual state Ref inspection. Which of course i passed the function test but failed due to my Cobb intake had a CARB sticker that was valid for up to 2010, but mine was a 2012. We all know they are the same airbox, but the sticker didnt match properly. So i contacted Cobb and they mailed me out a new carb sticker that was valid through model years 2014. So This is what they are checking and comparing to there master list of coding for all vehicles. So I assume you will have to have all those match the specific year and model you are swapping from. |
