did you make a copy of your .hex files anywhere? Maybe a copy on a flash drive or copied from one directory to another? If so, try to find the very first one that you started with and open it from there and look at the immobilizer code.

 

Also, look in your recycle bin for the "lost" files.

 

I found the stock 8 hex file and the immobilizer code is not in it.

 

On the first post there is a link to a pic of this guys log file. Mine looks just like that.

So is my ECU done or can I do something so i can finally load my stockmap back on?

 

If the reinstall and upload and download of your maps is failing then is your car under warrenty? IF so, call Mitsu and ask for a tow.

 

I only have a catless tbe, ACTstreet/strip clutch and cone filter right now so idk if they will warranty it. Plus Ive had the car fo ralmost 2 years and have always worked it on it and never had it taken to the dealer.

 

I just set my user level to developer (it was on beginner when I dowloaded it) and immobilzer popped up finally. It is set at 4701. Is this fine to upload? what should it be set at?

 

maybe its time to take it to the dealer, also plan b, buy a new ecu, mitsu supplies one from their works racing program

 

The immobilizer is specific to each vehicle. Check that number against some of your other Back up flash files to verify it is correct. IF it is correct, then try uploading.

One thought is to disconnect the battery and let the car sit for a bit. Maybe this will clear something in the ECU. I know it is a long short, but may work.

 

Ok thanks guys. I'll let you guys know what happens.

 

I was about to say this is probably why you didn't see it before .

Anyway assuming this code is the correct one then save it a few places in files that are set to read only. Thats what I've done .

Worse come to worse if you can't find it you will have to take it back to the dealership and get them to put back on a stock rom with the correct immobilizer. This has happened to a few other people on here and this what they ended up doing from what I rememeber.

 

Yeah I just cameback in. I kept getting the samething

"sending init sequence 1 (0001)
sending init sequence 1 (0003)
sending init sequence 1 (FFFF)
no response to any known code"

Mitsu here I come

 

have you tried a different laptop? check the cable to make sure its in ok nick!

now before you write any more crap to your ECU, read what is currently there, hopefully it will have your imo code in it...

ps i always EMAIL my ROM to myself (gmail/yahoo whatever) account..

 

Low battery, or bad connection from the white connector..

**OR** you somehow corrupted the rom in the ECU, in that case you can use the ECU unlocker..

What I recommend is load ECU Unlocker, and boost the battery, put your stock rom back on it..
