new engine computer

How long does it take a new computer before it can start read codes, for memory and key on not running?

How long before it recongizes a problem and sets a code? Shouldn't take too long, just a few miles of driving. KOER should show up as soon as you run the test.

There won't be any memory codes until you have successfully started the engine at least once.

You should be able to get the 1-1-1 pass code on the first power up, by turning on the key with the STI jumper in place.
