Why did you try to reflash? Best to leave sleeping dog lies unless you are sure of what the result will be.

If you get stuck, you may have to have the dealer reflash it. This code is pretty important.

Your friend is an upstanding guy.

BTW you post caused me to go by the JY and pick up two spares - one for my 95 and my 96.

Ya just never know!
