PowerBraker chip NEEDIN HELP

Does anyone know where i can locate and disable this chip ?? I think it is preventing the Edge CS from being able to communicate with the truck, And is it just for the engine brake ? I got no idea it was in the truck when i got it.

PowerBraker chip

this is some kind of device that uses the factory equipment for a engine brake. But it seemed I had a bad ECU that the Edge Evo could not communicate with and then was rendered usless, I replaced the ECU and the tuner works fine now

The EBPV can be actuated with a switch, or by the computer.

There is no "chip" you can plug in to do it.

Sounds like you need a PCM reflash.

I don't trust your tuner as well.
The edge screws with the PCM.

Somebody else on here knows about the PCm reflash stuff. I forgot who.
