Thank you. I solved the problem. I just want to update in case anyone comes across this problem. I flashed a new rom. Now that I read that, I don't know if the ecu fried or its because of the immobilizer, but the car didn't start. I had a spare ecu with the same rom and I plugged it in and the car started right up. I was able to pull the rom and open it. I will flash this rom to the other ecu tomorrow to see if it starts with the correct immobilizer code or if it's fried.
Not quite....there is still the matter of the immobilizer and immobilizer code. Your rom might be fubared but even if you flash a generic rom ( 88XXXXXX for the IX) it wont start because it wont have an immobilizer code to match..
You will have to either disable the immobilizer in the MUT tables or try to recover the immobilizer code from the current rom and input that code to the generic rom you can then flash to the ecu. then it will start but will need tuning etc for the car's mods etc
You might try one of the online tuners like aaron@english racing or TScomptuned to see if they can help you by doing that by remote dial in etc.

Any update on this? Were you able to reflash your old ECU? I'll be getting the Tactrix cable soon and want to make sure the process goes smoothly. Was this caused by the "pin 9" issue you mentioned in the original post? if not, ever determine what went wrong the first time?
Thanks.
Thanks.

It seems the ecu is bricked or just fried. I never technically figured out the cause I am just assuming it was the pin 9. After removing it I had no further problems. What's weird is I've only heard of pin 9 causing etac failure, not ecu failure.

I've found posts in several locations regarding removing a pin such as the pin 9 you mention but cannot seem to locate a post explaining why the need to remove this pin. Can someone help me with a link or explanation why this pin must be removed? I'll be ordering the Tactrix adapter soon and want to confirm what must be done before I start using it.

Spent some time and read through the entire thread, thank you! Last post on that thread was in 2011. Do the new 2.0 cables still require removing pin 9? On the ordering page you can still get the kit that has both Mitsu and Subi cables, are these separate cables? I've done a bit of tuning on other cars and for only $10 difference I was figuring on just getting the option for both platforms so I had them and had the option. I have a few friends with Subi's.
Thanks again for the link.
Thanks again for the link.

Did this get cleared up "officially"?
