Well I retried after letting it sit and it worked. No more fail code and program loaded. Prayer works.

I ran into the same problem, what I do is turn off the key, unplug the SCT. Then I retry the tuner again. This works well for me.

Let me know if this works.

seems to be that the data cables are very sensitive, especially where the dlc cable goes into the top of the SCT. set the unit down when programming and DO NOT move it at all during programming. this was the only way i got mine to finally program.
