everytime i turn off the car, then when i start/on it back..the safc setting will reset back to factory setting..means it won't work even i have save the settings(initialize).so now i have to enter all the settings everytime i want to use my car.

could anyone here help to diagnose the problem? is it sth wrong wit my safc memory?

is there a probability it is caused by erroneus on wiring eh?

i've use it for 4 months without problems until 2 days ago.3 weeks ago i juz done swapping oversize,forged piston to my car..so not so sure on the wiring.

any specific wire to check?

Quit hitting "initialize".
 
You do know that hitting "initialize" sets the afc back to its out of the box default setting right?

If you have further problems I'd inspect the wiring. Sounds like the constant 12V source may not be connected correctly.

If you have the patience… solder everything. That’s your best bet. But I had the same problem and fixed it because it was a faulty connection. :)
