#142 of 202 Programing by kurtamaxxxguy Aug 29, 2007 (7:48 pm)
The Maxx, like most modern cars, has its computers and software accessed by means of a multi-pin connector port (I forget the name) just under the dashboard near the driver's left leg. The dealer or qualified service tech will use a customized computer and software that attaches to this port to reprogram the Maxx computers with new or revised software. They can also do various diagnostic tests by monitoring the engine sensors and "black boxes" storing data from past drives.

Replying to: pao (Aug 30, 2007 6:55 am) On-Board Diagnostics   It's a connector underneath the dash that's been on all cars since 1996 I believe. It's that place that you plug in computer diagnostic tools and it returns a code that tells you what's going wrong in the car.
#145 of 202 Intermittent rear wiper not always working. help E2 by meandmymaxx Aug 31, 2007 (4:35 am)
This morning when i started my 05 Maxx Lt. the rear wiper gave one wipe with the switch off. When I tried the switch it worked in the on position but would not on the intermittent setting, it also worked when I tried the wash button. My question to Mr e2 is. Is the control of the rear wiper routed through the BCM as every other electrical circuit is, or does the switch connect directly to the rear wiper?? Thanks I forgot to mention, when I got to work the wiper was woking fine.

Replying to: chewitt (Aug 31, 2007 4:41 am) Well it did it again today, start the car rear wiper wipes once. But this time the switch worked on all positions. The only consistency is in both occurrences it had rained the night before and was very humid and damp when I started the car.
#148 of 202 Cruise Control cut out by meandmymaxx Sep 12, 2007 (5:44 am)
Help e2 helper help!!:o) For the second time in two weeks the cruise control on my 05 Maxx LT disengaged while being used. Just shut itself off and will not re-engage. When I pull the car over, shut it off, start it up it works fine again for a few days. Any thoughts??
#149 of 202 Re-Flash, or Replace BCM by meandmymaxx Sep 12, 2007 (5:47 am)
I have noticed in other posts regarding the BCM as being the problem. Some had them re-flashed and some said they had the BCM replaced. My question is why would they replace the BCM when a re-flash would fix it?? Am I misunderstanding the situation? Or are some confusing replace with re-flash??
