Intial setup keeps reseting

An idea why the instial setup wont save in the unit?? i make the changes and send it to the ECU and next time i start the car none of the settings are there. Seems to go back to default.

Must be over 170 degrees. After sending to ECU return to dashboard on handheld, turn ignition off and wait until settings go blank, then retry.

tried that and no luck. still keeps defaulting to stock setting. I have a battery disconnect but that shouldn't effect it??

There are others here who know a lot more than me who should be giving more detail, but I believe that after you save to ECU the constant power can be switched off without any effect, I have a wire direct to battery with its own fuse that bypasses the cutout switch. Run a temporary wire to test.

I know you do have to wait for about 30 sec once you turn the ignition off, before you can disconnect battery.  That gives it time to save.  You can actually hear a little snap when the ECU is asleep.  And if I remember rightly, I believe you have to "send to ecu" on every individual change you make.

Have the same issue; ECU constantly resetting, no matter what we do. Car doesn't want to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Also the temperature the fitech sees in it's temperature display must be over 170 deg before it will save anything.  Something to keep in mind.
