Steering lock problem solved (for real)

^ you're welcome

Also, if anyone cares, I hooked up the UpRev cable to the car and checked for error codes and none were reported or logged.... all good.

As a side note, I wonder if UpRev would have the ability to control this Steering Lock circuit from within the Osiris software? You can disable a lot of other features like Auto Power Windows etc.... currently it cannot adjust Steering Lock settings but maybe an update could....

When you pulled the codes did you check just ECU or did you check the Body control module.

The BCM on our cars seems to be split up into different layers it seems, because you can't control every BCM function for some reason. The 370Z's ECU in general is definitely more difficult than the 350Z's was, the 350Z certainly had more tinkering to be done with UpRev.

I agree that the BCM is more of a 'Black Box' than ever. Still, there may be more access than we realize with the right software....
