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!

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.

How to Repair VW DCM6.2V No Start Issue on Foxflash

Image
  Problem: How do I read and write down a driver in a vw dcm6.2v with foxflash in boot mode, because after installing stage 1 (via OBD) the car does not start and I can’t bet anything? Solution: That situation usually comes from checksum handling or wrong patch area — DCM6.2V is picky. If you can still read and connect to ecu, write original file, test if it starts. If yes, then manually checksum the file and write it back. If it still causes problems solution is not good (bad file). Foxflash don’t have bench or boot protocol for this ECU. You can also take boot read and restore ecu.
