TunerStudio v2.6.14 Lite or TunerStudio MS v2.6.19 (I upgraded around the time this problem happen)
MS3/MS3X v3.57
Features problem, Fan control and Alternator Control
Output pin - Nitrous 1
Developing system for a 1999 Protege 1.8L which I'm unable to find any basemaps for, so I have been using someone else 1999 Miata MS3 basemap as my starting point, and since I didn't develop the Miata basemaps, I didn't know what output pins were being used. I need to change the Output control of the fan from Nitrous 2 to Nitrous 1, but I didn't know at the time that Nitrous 1 was already being used by Alternator Control. Every time I did the "Burn", I would get an flash CRC error, the lights on my Jimstim would go crazy, and communications with MS3 would go down. No matter what I tried, I could only get the MS3 back by rebooting the firmware (thankfully, I figured that out pretty quickly). After having this happen several times, I figured out that I had two features trying to use the same output pin and once I disabled both, before setting one, I was OK.
The best solution would be to have TunerStudio disable (grey out) output pins that are already in use when you go to assign a pin to a feature, but that might require a lot of changes to TunerStudio. A simpler solution would be to change the "Burn" button to check to see if two different features try to use the same output pin, and it could then generate a error message telling the user which features are in conflict, and then STOP the burn.
Burn to MS3 with two feature using same pin crashes MS3
