  Problem: It’s a Volvo XC-60 with DENSO MB279700–96xx ECU. Original ecu has been flooded with water. Have read eprom on bench no problem same as whole ecu. MMS Flex says there is no clone. How to clone this ECU with Flex programmer? Feedback and solution: It turned out that after writing full backup in to the destination ECU, everything is ok — no faults, car start and drives. MMS Flex should change status of that ecu to Clone 1:1. Just write full backup and it should work. Option solutions: Adopt with SMOK UHS. www.iecutool.eu

Alientech KESS3 Adds MM11MPHW002 ECUs for Motorcycles

Image
  I just had an issue with this ECU while trying to perform a Full OBD read Renault SID307 with Flex programmer . At the moment of connection, Flex managed to read the password, and right after that it started patching the ECU. A few seconds later, the cooling fan turned on, and shortly after, during the connection process, the ignition switched OFF and then an error appeared. The car no longer starts. So the only solution we found was to read the ECU in Boot mode, but fortunately we had the password file read via OBD. Therefore, we had to repair the Flash file and write it in Boot mode. FYI: Foxflash programmer can also read SID307 ECU via OBD without issue. Example: Read and wirte Renault SID307 via obd. Follow the instructions for how to keep ignition on for the procedure. Read 10 min. Write 10 min.

OBDSTAR DC706 Boot Mode Solution for GPEC2 ECM

Image
 How to read and clone the GPEC2 module? This module is used in Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and other American CDI vehicles. We will perform the process using the OBDStart DC706 ecu tool along with its MP001 adapter cable. Step-by-Step Process: Connection Setup First, we connect to the vehicle via OBD. Then, we navigate through the tool’s menu to find the GPEC2 module. This module is used across multiple brands: Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep. In our case, we are working on a Jeep with a PC56 / 66 Plus 95 320 system. Adapter Configuration Depending on your setup, you may use: A PC adapter with two wires (CAN High and CAN Low). An adapter with a GPTAN connector. In all cases, you can read modules such as BDL03 Plus or BDL03, but you must add a 120-ohm resistor between CAN High and CAN Low for proper communication. Alternatively, you can use BDL01, which already has the resistor built in. Starting the Process We begin by selecting the correct connection type in the tool men...

Autotuner Solution for Mercedes CRD3PLUS.A0 ECU Reading

Image
 2015 Mercedes- C220D Delphi CRD3PLUS.A0 TC1797 ECU reading and writing review: Flex could not read/connect via Bench or even OBD- Tried both pinots, Tried TC1793 etc. Pulled out Foxflash with the same result. In the end completed with Autotuner worked first time. Very Strange as have done many of these before and there’s no info out there to say this can be a case. But looking through the forum a couple people had the exact same issue. Conclusion — there’s a small batch of these which can’t be done with flex etc. So if you have this issue try with Autotuner!  

Flex OBD Write Fail on VAG DCM6.2V ECU Fix

Image
  Problem: Read and write DCM6.2V Vag ECU with MMS Flex programmer. At 29% the write failed and car didn’t start, voltage was 13.3. Any solution? Solution: Do these without a charger. Probably an internet or server issue. Or do it in bootmode! OBD after 21 with flex maybe can damage eeprom. Never had an issue but generally use Autotuner for these. Even without a charger they are stable. Instead of flex, we can use AT on it only because checksum by flex takes ages!

How to Use OBDSTAR G3 for Peugeot DCM6.2C DTC Off

Foxflash No Red Light Problem in Bench Mode Solution

Image
  Problem: No red light on Foxflash programmer bench box and switch, has happened to anyone? Solution: Light comes only when tool start reading, when it says keep ecu power on make sure switch is at 1, then press ok that’s when the light will come Power will only come on in bench mode after the program prompts you to press the power button. The power button will then light up for one second and turn off again. See on bench box, when the red light turn on, you got power on switch, and light is turned on. It automatically goes red during read or write when the software requests it to Only power needed on read/write.
