I had to do the security relearn thing and I waited longer than the instructions stated and that did the trick for me.

I got the airbag code. I got my PCM through ZZP so they suggested that I send my original PCM back to be reprogrammed. I kept there's until I got mine back. Plugged it back in and I haven't thrown any codes or had any problems.

Shifts are supposed to be firmer. Thats the main reason people get these tuned.
