Putting a "Re" in front of something indicates you want to do same or similar job AGAIN. So like I mentioned in my last blog post. "Reflashing / Reprogramming" a bad computer with the same software it already has inside it completely useless!! If you read a TSB about an update to the module that might fix an issue...it's not a "reflash" Its an update. This means you are actually modifying the software inside the computer.
If you bought a used or new(blank) module and you need to "program" it your car. Proper terms so person doing job knows how to quote are "flash" or "program" it.
Good example...
I bought a used/new "module name" for my make/model/year. I need to get it flashed/program to work with my vehicle.
Bad example...
I need a module reflashed.
As you can see, the bad example doesn't tell me what vehicle, what module, is it new or used? Are they trying to "reprogram" reflash the same faulty module on the car? etc... Don't be that customer.
