Just got a power programmer III for my 2000 F350 on Saturday. When I TRIED to program the beast, I got an "ERROR:6"...."Call Hypertech". What in THE HELL does this error mean.....ANY IDEAS???

 

welcome to FTE dieseluvr
well 1 cant help you much with Hypertech, but, you should have gotten DP, but thats me,
maybe somone with Hypertech will help you ,
did you flash it back to stock? and than performance flash?
and did you buy it new? or used,
from what i know you cannot use Hypertech when somone didnt flash it back to stock setting,

 

think it has error codes in manual,would guess they want you to call customer support

not knowing right now what the code means check your cigarette lighter fuse and try it again

 

Bought it used. Been told it's a low voltage issue, so I unhooked or shut off everything taking power i.e. brake controller, under hood lamp....everything. Still doesn't work, and yes..."Call Hypertech 1-800-blah, blah, blah". Talked to the original owner and was told everything was returned to stock previously. He gave me kind of an attitude when he told me that it worked on two other trucks.

 

error 6D states that your factory program is not recognised by programmer

 

Just "6" is what I have, not "6D".

 

my instalation manual only shows 6D,93 and 95 guess you'll have to call hypertec tomorrow unless someone else has had it happen

I had an install problem with mine after IDM was changed

 

Ditch the Hypertech

 

i am in the same boat but my hyperjunk came with the truck and was not set back to stock so now i have a flash on the pcm i cant delete. so what did i do post about it and i was told by everyone to call jody at 828-221-0076 and i got me a dp tuner with 3 tunes and the remote for $320.00 and then speed shipped it hope it works out but he's a good guy and vary helpfull. but this is just my 2ct

Got an answer from Hypertech!! Was told that the programmer was a first generation production unit for my application, and since it was produced, my PCM has been updatede by a dealership and there's nothing they can do...but sell me a new one, B.S.!!! So much for standing behind your product..thanks anyway. I'll get MORE POWER elsewhere!

 

that's what I ran into when IDM was replaced but hypertec replaced mine
but I bought it new

 

My Hypertech works fine, always has. Seems like the DP is the way to go. With a DP do you always have to send PCM in for flash ?

 

They didn't even make the ATTEMPT to offer a re-program or any type of repair, just went straight for my wallet and a new sale...don't think so.

 

That s*#&% that they won't back it up, If your married put your wife on the phone and plug your ears.

 

i guess the guy you bought it from giving you a refund is out of the question
