Hi Matt
I have copied a post from 2010 as im now having the exact issues...
I have installed the factory chip before, and the computer will connect to the car, but obviously can only read parameters. The ECU was already chipped when I bought the car so I know the 28 pin connector is installed properly. When I put the Nistune board in, I cannot connect to the car. I didn't bother to start the car if it wouldn't connect. One thing that happens when I put the board in and turn the key to ON is the electric fan on the radiator/condensor comes on, without the car running. If i put in another ECU i can connect to consult fine.
I actually have been using NT fine for a few days and enjoying tuning it...but when i wanted to reinstall it correctly back under carpet this situation arose. I suspected dicky loom connections, but i still get ecu fail, and full fans with the ecu loose without stressing the loom.
How did you resolve this back then?
Thanks
LED on, full fans and no consult connection

Re: LED on, full fans and no consult connection
I'm a bit confused with part of the post you copied from 2010
If currently you have the radiator fans on/no consult then you are in limp mode
If you put the factory chip in and the CPU connector is correct way and still a problem, then it sounds like either your board is corrupted or damaged
I would need the board posted here to check and reprogram/repair. I would probably upgrade to feature pack firmware whilst you are at it
If you only got the fail when moving the ECU/loom I wonder if an electrical issue triggered the problem? Please confirm. Might be best to email me directly info@nistune.com
