I can't find any directions on making changes to the script, if adding a part number is what is required

Anyone on here have experience with this?

To continue, after reading one of the posts on here, I rechecked the pinout and continuity on my board & ODBII port, everything matched the schematic.

(EDIT - just saw your response) I also removed the line of code regarding part number check, and still got the same error

I'll drop the CEM, and check that my PN is on the list

Part number 0 means CEM was not able to see commands from Teensy.

"Putting all ECUs into programming mode" - did you car died after that? No lights, no nothing.

No, it started & runs just fine.

I had to modify the ODBII port as it didn't have all the wires in the correct locations. Perhaps it is somehow defective, even though the pins all check out with a multi-meter.

Also, my CEM is a listed number

It has to go full dead. Relays click and it's dead.
