What does the Error: '1017 Upload Stock Failed' mean?

Solution
1017: Upload Stock Failed
This error indicates that the tuner was Unable to upload the stock file. The solution is different based on which tuner you are using.
GM SF3/X3 - Solution

Confirm that your tuner has the most recent Firmware; found by going into Device Info on the tuner and comparing to the firmware listed on the website.

If using Pre-Loaded tunes, confirm that your tuner has the most recent Tune Revision; found by going into Device Info on the tuner and comparing to the tune revision listed on the website.

If using Custom Tunes, confirm with your tuner that the tune file was created for the correct Transmission Type. (Auto or Manual)

If the vehicle has an After Market Radio, you may need to pull the Radio and Radio Amp fuses.

If none of the above resolves your issue, pull the following fuses: On-Star, and the 5 BCM fuses.
Ford SF3/X3 - Solution

Confirm that your tuner has the most recent Firmware; found by going into Device Info on the tuner and comparing to the firmware listed on the website.

If using Pre-Loaded tunes, confirm that your tuner has the most recent Tune Revision; found by going into Device Info on the tuner and comparing to the tune revision listed on the website.
6.4 Livewire - Solution

Confirm that your tuner has the most recent Firmware; found by going into Device Info on the tuner and comparing to the firmware listed on the website.

If using Pre-Loaded tunes, confirm that your tuner has the most recent Tune Revision; found by going into Device Info on the tuner and comparing to the tune revision listed on the website.

If this is for a 6.4 Truck and you are using Firmware 043, the file 64TCMFix.LFU may be needed. Here is a link to this file:
64TCMFix.lfu Download

Save this file to your computer and use the X3/Livewire updater to transfer this file to your 6.4 Livewire by pressing the Transfer File button. Make sure the tuner is powered up in regular mode.

Side note, whats the file extension of the tune? Is it .LL3? Confirm that you didn't receive a .rar from torrie, or something you need to extract FIRST before transferring to your tuner. :/


Edit: Im runing an 2002 LS with Tune, and I never pull a damn fuse when I flash. Never had any issues and im always screwing with the thing. You have the same car yet yanking billions of fuses? Dafaq?

my device firmware is up to date.. everything is perfect I AM SURE of it...

the file extension he sent me is .CEF ... ??

2002 -- http://www.automation-drive.com/EX/05-15-11/pinout.jpg

the pins are the exact same on the image on the top right.. 16 pin.

The two Formats are .CEF and .LL3
The tunes I got from Rob are .LL3 This area I am unsure if a problem can be raised with compatibility on the cars computer. You could try asking Torrie if he has the tune file in the extension .LL3

These machines aren't perfect so little glitches can happen. Good to have another tune extension to test with that you know works. Check with him and get back to me here
 
Just emailed Torrie to see if he can send over .LL3 tune files.. i'll keep you updated!
 
"No that format has been abandoned. Has SCT Tech contacted you ?"

That was his response, I guess .LL3 files is no longer in use.
 
what do you mean is there power to the obd port?

No i haven't tried it with the fuses in, they said to remove the fuses ..... ?

Are you making connection to the vehicle at all? If not i'd check fuse 6 for the obd II port, or make sure you didn't pull any important fuses by accident.

Someone else on here said they don't pull any fuses. I've never used a sct so i'm not sure about that..
 
my obd port is working correctly Stugots.

I pulled all the fuses they recommended .. Fuel Pump (3), Fan (2), ABS, Radio, Amp.

I dont pull any fuses. Never had to. I use an xcal 2. Everything went smooth for me

Chip, where did you buy that xcal 3? Im wondering if he got it used if its locked?
 
Not locked, brand new from fastpartsnetwork straight from Torrie .... 5 unlocks left, device unmarried.
 
K chip, I.dont get this "pull fuse" non sense. Wtf does the power of fuel pump have to do with cars computer??? Again I use an xcal 2, not Sure if xcal 3 is much different at all. But i suppose you could try with all fuses in. Maybe the tune needs to detect all devices?
 
Well I was told to pull those fuses because the fuel pump and fan automatically come on when the car is turned ON.... was told all/most electrical use needs to be cut off while uploading

I plan to just put in all my fuses tonight anyways, because i need to take the car out, and i will try again then... this is driving me insane.
 
K I have the SAME car as you. 2002 Lincoln LS V8. I have tuned, then pulled, then tuned again numerous times. NOT ONCE did I pull any freaken fuses.

Heres what I DO. Plug in the machine with my keys OUT of the ignition.

Select tune. Set the parameters (such as rev limiters). then go to install tune. Machine then tells my to turn on IGNITION ONLY but not start the car. I do so. then it asks me the whole "Are you sure" questions. I select yes (Still the Cars off). Only ignition on. Then it backs up the stock and install tunes. After it finishes, it tells me to shut off ignition. After I do that, I then safely remove the tuner.


At NO point do I start the car. No fans come on. Just ignition only.
Are you doing the same as me?
 
I am doing it the same exact way you are, except i have the key in the off position, then plug into my obd port, and when prompted, turn the key to the ON position (not starting the engine), just enough so the lights on the dash come on.

Awaiting an email from the SCT Engineers, tomorrow morning, I'm putting in all my fuses, and giving it a shot.
 
There are two reasons to pull fuses.

1) Prevent other subsystems from communicating on the CAN bus and causing problems with the flash. These issues have mostly (entirely?) been worked around thanks to the diligent work by Quik. That's the reason for pulling the ABS, and the early iterations of the tuners required disabling almost all of the electronic modules (FEM, REM, etc).

2) Prevent power drain during the tune. As an example, the Gen 2 electric fan tends to run full blast during a tune, which can kill a battery within a few minutes. Gen 1 doesn't have that specific problem, but you still wouldn't want the seat heaters, A/C fan, or radio blaring, as a dead/weak battery during a tune could leave the PCM damaged.

Both methods are valid, just pulling fuses is somewhat "safer".
 
Alright, I pulled fuses for Radio, ABS, A/C, Fuel Pump, Fan, Trans Solenoid, HEGOs, COPs, and even MORE, STILL.. error 1017, followed by 1009.

This is getting annoying.
Also just put ALL FUSES BACK IN, and STILL getting error.

Clueless of what to do... Going to return my product to Torrie.

Or save hassle and buy a good battery, and screw the fuses. My battery ran 1000 Watts Subs continueous for 74 minutes. System drain = Kiss my optima's ass

Im trying my best to help you bud. But at this point, it really sounds like the tune file may be corrupted. Either that or your obd2 port somehow might be losing connection to the car.


If you have an OBD2 scanner, plug it into your LS and do a scan. Lemme know if an OBD2 works. Hell there might be a code you might pull up for your comp.
Regardless, The point of this is to see if another OBD2 device communicates with your cars comp.

If it does just fine, then your cars not the he prob.
Either the Xcal 3 is bust or that tune file is corrupted, would be my conclusion.



If you decide to return to Torrie, make sure the device is unlocked from your car.
 
One thing to check. On my brother's truck I had a problem with getting a tune to go. Turned out that there was a fuse blown, I think it was for the cigarette lighter, that provided power over the OBD2 port that was blown. When we replaced it, the download worked perfectly. There was no other indication that this fuse operated anything other than the accessory indicated. Mind you this was on a Chevy truck, but the principal stands. No idea which fuse this might be on the LS. The only thing is I don't know if the fuse being out kept the tuner from powering up or not as I don't remember if I tried connecting the tuner without my laptop connected.
 
I dealt with something like that as telco explained. When I first got my car I went to an auto store to check codes for cel and it was unable to communicate with the car and I then found out it was because a blown fuse and I'm pretty sure it was on with the cigarette lighter circuit
 
Chip, how have you made out on this, any success ?

~ did you by chance attempt to edit or open the file when you had it on your PC before transferring it to the xcal tuner ?
~ it was still the same file extension when transferred ?

Update ?
