AWC Reflash?
Just a word of caution. A local here went in to inquire about this reflash.
he was denied the AWC reflash because of his location and was sent on his marry way.
He came by the shop and I pulled the ECU flash and they had reflashed him back to stock. They updated his ECU flash to the latest ROM update, which of course wiped out his tune.

Yep that happened to me today, Went in for recall number 4 which was for some airbag sensor that needed to be replaced. I got my AWC Flash that showed up with the recall from the Mistu Dealership and driving the car home it is definately stock ECU flash put back by the dealership.

tHE AWC FLASH IS DONE ON THE TCU NOT THE ECU. YOUR FLASH SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED. IF IT WAS, THATS THE DEALERS ERROR AND THEY SHOULD BE PAYING YOU FOR A NEW ONE. BUT THE LIKELYHOOD IS SMALL
No Worries, I'll flash it back myself with the cable. I knew they were going to do that when they said "we are going to re-flash the car". Funny they didn't put aftermarket parts on the service report they were fine with it. But when I had the car in NY the dealer put that in BIG bold letter aftermarkets parts installed may void warranty.
Groundfades is correct, my flash was not effected I read my ECU and parameters are still the same.

I go in for the fuel and air bag recalls on Tuesday.. I live in Maryland.. Should I even attempt to get the awc flash? I know it doesn't get to cold here but my car has failed to start many times
The Burning smell some of you experienced with the AWC Re-Flash, I am getting the same thing. But i think it goning away I don't smell it as much. Starting to wonder about Mitsu and their cars for the New Ralliart Line with 4 recalls and Re-Flash. For what these cars cost we should have a somewhat trouble free ride. Never had all these issues from my previous car and it ran great until the day I traded it in and it was loaded with aftermarket. But still will hang in there and hopefully no more recall notices in the mail...
i think the smell is related more to the fuel line recall. I had that done about a week ago. and when i got it back it did smell. but since then the smell has gone away and never come back.
