1. Contact technical support for further troubleshooting steps This ECU is already being used with an AccessPORT HALTING OPERATION message This error message can occur when a serial number already exists on the ECU and the AP is attempting to marry itself to an ECU for the first time Common if the AP had been sent in for repair and it was not shipped back in the correct state where it thinks it is new Contact technical support for further instructions If AP has been serviced recently the AP will need to be returned to be placed in the correct state before it may be used This cannot be done remotely 47 This is not the correct ECU HALTING OPERATION message This error message can only occur whenever the serial number on the AP does not match the serial number stored on the ECU This is checked when attempt ing to change a Base Map No resolution for this message It needs to be determined why the incorrect AP is being used on the incorrect ECU If this message occurs after AP has been returned from service verify serial number of received AP matches that of warranty repair service report If this message occurs after vehicle has been serviced by Dealership check service invoice for documentation of a ECU reprogram A note regarding Reset ECU Memory is NOT the same as a reflash reprogram If this issue is in ques tion the Dealer Service Invoice will need to be faxed to technical support before resolution can be made ERR
