The following are a couple of email contents I received from a Techy at Dakota Digital.
The forums are probably refering to V1.8 on BIM-01-2 for OBDII, that version polled for information that the J1850 ECU’s didn’t support/have and it would cause the ECU to go stupid and hang, then the watchdog timer would reset the ecu and it would spring back to life. This would cause fuel pump to cycle on/off and make the engine stumble or stall.
This problem does not apply to a newer CAN bus ECU.
The BIM ID’s are only used for J-1850 (late 90’s – 2006ish) ECUs. Any thing newer than 2008 is usually just CAN bus and the ID settings should have no effect (61/62 or F1/F2) (Gauge or scanner emulation) you can always try changing them but I doubt they would make any difference if you have a newer ecu.
