Might be a long post but from the words of EBR and need some info.
Bought a ebr ecm(preprogrammed for spec ops) and just shot them and email out of curiousity about reset TPS through ECMspy on their ecms. This was their response:
You could try ECM Spy, but we really have seen a lot of issues with that software on our race ECM's. It is a hacked piece of software and it doesn't
recognize when we make firmware changes that for optimization may move functions to different addresses on the board. ECM Spy just blindly changes
address items based on the version of firmware that was hacked to create it. So sometimes it works, sometimes not, and we have seen ECM's made completely
non-functional by it.
Our electronics guru recommends not even using it for TPS resets. I know that means going to a dealer, which may not be convenient, but the tool they
use, Digital Tech, has not caused any issues. You can try using ECM Spy, but if it changes the settings on the O2 sensor input for example, while thinking it is changing the TPS, then there will be drivability problems.
We are going to develop a simple tool that can do this, but that is months
away.
Question is has anyone ever had issues with reseting TPS on a EBR ecm with ecmspy??
