Default JetCat P100RX ECU V10 Reset

My P100 RX GSU reads P20 and "RESET Yes or No" due to a firm wear mismatch. How do I reset the system to factory settings so I can correct the engine model to P100 RX?

Call JetCat America when they are back. Have the engine set up and GSU plugged in, they can talk you through the button press procedure to correctly set it back to P-100

I thought when it boots up connected to the P100 the ecu should automatically upload the 100 info from the motor.?

Sounds like someone inadvertently told the motor that its a P20. There's a million different button combinations to press and hold during power on for different things and they aren't all properly documented. As someone said, call JCA after the New Years, they are closed this week.

The information is in the engine not the GSU, the GSU is only reading whats in the ECU memory buffer.

I had to call to find out the right combination of buttons to hold during power up to get my buddy's motor to flip from propane to kero start.

It’s normally where someone has made connections with it powered up. Its ‘sparked’ and reset…P-20 is the first in the BUS turbines, so it resets to the beginning

Thank You everyone.. I've been changing wire harnesses and going through Power on with buttons pressed on the gsu to no avail. The strange thing is, the engine has been back to JCA and they tell me that the engine runs fine. All this with my ECU. ????????????????. I will call after the shop reopens next year.

Default P100

I would just accept the mis match error and let it boot up correctly.
