    Anyone every get code 1281? I can only get the code by the stomp test

      Disconnect battery, unplug ecu. Wait 5 minutes. Plug in ecu, reconnect battery. Enjoy.

        Is your DME properly grounded? If not, either install it in the brackets, or run a ground wire to the case. And fix your wire harness so that the diagnostic plug works.

          It is properly grounded. Trying to find wiring diagrams to fix adapter.

          When I plug the code reader in, I get e10 and e11 codes when searching for faults or resetting cel

            I swapped in a red label ecu with my chip and still get the same 1281 code.

            Could this be the turner motorsport chip? It has the ews delete.

            Diagnostic connector powers up peake tool, but still wont let me clear code

                Code 1281 - control unit memory supply

                Reset the codes. Disconnect the DME FOR 5 minutes. Reconnect DME and run it at idle for 3 minutes. Then drive for 30 minutes

                              Why would any wiring need to be done for the diagnostic port?
