new speedo abs light
hey all .. i just ordered and installed my new digital speedo ....
problem im having is the ABS light stays on ... ( i dont have abs ) after looking closer it reads if you dont have abs you need to have the dealer flash it for you ...
CRAP ..... so i went to the dealer and their telling me its $80 an hour to flash it ( might not take a hour but even at 30 mins $40 ..
so my question is .. is there any way i can reset it or flash it myself ?
thanks

I, too, believe the ECM must be flashed by the dealer.
IIRC, the only other alternative is to purchase an SE race tuner. It has the capability of flashing the ECM but it costs several hundred dollars. The SE street tuner can only remap the ECM not flash it.
If I am wrong (I apologize) and others can chime in and correct me.
So, in reality, it's either pay the dealer or ride around with the ABS light on.

that tool is only for reading codes and data.. it won't reprogram the ecu's.
the dealer should be able to tell you whether they charge $40 or $80.. its not an unknown on how long the reflash takes.. my guess is it only take 5-10 minutes actual time.
I reflash cager pcms all the time.. most take 2-3 minutes to do, with the longest about 20-25 minutes.. that ones a huge reflash for hybrid models.. almost a complete ground up rewrite. flashing a pcm to not activate an abs light shouldn't take long at all.
