i have a 2013 ralliart my 14 and will be attempting this on the weekend, i went through the guide and everything seems do-able

only thing i cannot see is how to revert to stock is it possible? if yes how so?

if not i guess i wont be doing this

It is. You just have to replace the last step in the .fl file with the one that'll be flashed to the ROM when you do the s-sport L/C flash.

What is the correct order for the teach in? Could you list it here so it's easy for people to find who used this thread for the flash? Maybe add it to the first post. Thanks

I've attempted to follow the instructions, I must've screwed up along the way - hopefully something simple that I overlooked...

MY2009 RA, but I discovered it had 2010 programming - it was exactly the same as given in the example in the PDF guide:

ECU Part No. 8631A860
S/W Part No. 8631A8600B

When I attempted to flash 8631B001.cff (Evo X for 2010) it froze for a solid 40 minutes plus at 72%. It just hung there, at first I was afraid to do anything so I just let it go... but it was sucking CPU resources at 100% and subsequently draining battery power at a quick rate. I eventually decided to switch off the engine and unplug the tactrix cable.... at the risk of having a non-functioning TCU/gearbox/car. I tried flashing again, and then it hung at 1% and didn't budge (25 minutes), so I switched off again, this time selected PassthruCAN reader option - and noticed my vehicle VIN field was showing as 'invalid'. The ECU and S/W part no.s were still present.

I had to revert back to 8631B002.cff (the RA std TCU) and it worked - thankfully. But no S-Sport for me...

It sounds like your vehicle suffered an ETACS timeout.
Did you verify that there were no check engines lights on the vehicle. Bricking the TCU is very difficult because you don't have access to the bootloader portion of the Tricore CPU.
I had the same issue one time only to realize it was my USB port that was messed up on my laptop.

The 2nd time perhaps, I don't recall consciously clearing DTCs in ecuflash inbetween.
I'm going to try again, from new. Delete all files and re-download them, try a diff USB port.
Thanks.

Try a battery charger on the car, I do a lot of flashing of different vehicles and low voltage is a common issue.

Thanks Vaqusis!

I will be downgrading my Evo TCU from 2011 to 2009 to see if I can get rid of the Slip....will update with the results

Guys I have a quick question, I installed it on a 64bit Win7 and it went into the

C:\Program Files (x86)

Is that correct? coz i followed the steps to the dot

That should be fine, it's most likely a 32bit application.

If you were running 32bit Win7 instead, you would see it end up in "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)"

The software can't find the flash files unless it's in the C:\Program Files folder.

You can get around that by coping C:\Program Files (x86)\PassThruCAN to C:\Program Files\PassThruCAN and make sure both sets of folders have the same files. That's why I included the registry changes to hard code it to C:\Program Files

Thanks worked Like a charm, will update with results and findings


BTW is there any difference between 2009 and 2010 Evo softwares?

Anyone else getting the "rev hunt" at 45mph in 6th gear? Is there possibly a way to correct it or should I just drive faster?
