Didn't backup SVT
1st attempt at coding today and I forgot to backup SVT If I re-code everything back to stock and back up the SVT would that be equal to backing up an un modified SVT?

It does not actually contain any FDL coding parameters. You could code a hundred different parameters in 30 different ECU's and the SVT will be unchanged. The only time it changes is after software/firmware is updated through flash programming. |

You are welcome to do that, but you also can always just VO code back to factory. I use ncd iterations with TM's NCD / CAFD tool to compare, but never use to reset ECU.

I read up on TM's NCD tool and its features. If I want factory settings in the future (same as resetting ECU?) I can VO code like you said?

Here's what I did:
1. Coded 2 or 3 features. On this first round, only backed up FA. 2. Went back in and FDL coded those 2 or 3 features to stock. 3. Made sure the car was back to stock and backed up FA/SVT/.ncd files. I assumed those were the files as they came from factory. 4. With everything backed up, I re-coded the car with the desired changes. |

The FA, if unmodified, will match what is found in Decoded VIN. And, can always be pulled from VCM. I sometimes save them & load modified copies(eg, -6NH, +6NS) to do VO coding. |
