I keep getting this error when trying to run ECUFlash 1.38 on Mac or 1.41 on XP.

[19:49:34.125] Using interface OpenPort 1.3 Universal TX25W9s1cacdf6d5980f23c80ca98ae46adde3e12744126c

It is connecting to Open Port. Is my tactrix cable bad?

 

my cable works, it's a software issue. which is weird since they are both fresh versions. IDK? bump for help?

 

having the same issue

 

you have a PC or Mac ^ ?

 

i have a acer laptop with windows vista

 

I've narrowed it down to a software issue, idk what it is though. My cable works on other laptops with ECUFlash and the ECU is communicating as well...quite strange.

 

bump, no one knows?

 

uninstalled and reinstalled, no dice.

 

Dude, this has been answered 1000x. You battery is too low. Drive the car for 20 minutes and then try to flash. If you are having a ton of trouble it helps too hook the battery up to a booster/trickle charger or begin the flash after your drive while the car is still running (it will shut off automatically once you start).

 

my laptop still won't connect, even with 12+ volts. others can read my rom using my cable but neither of my 2 versions will connect.

 

Uninstall it on the XP machine and install 1.31 ... lmk if that works

 

Try and do it on a jump (with the other person's car running). The last couple of flashes after sitting for 30 min have needed a running car hooked up with my car. My battery had plenty of juice for cranking and they hadn't had problems with theirs either. Most decent chargers will maintain 13.4+V.

 

when this happens to me I just start the car and then flash... the engine shuts down by itself and starts downloading.. works every time..

 

Depends on when it's being measured. Should be 12.5ish volts while off, and 13+ when running.

 

Your ECU has been locked by a previous tuner - this is usually done by changing the "Init Code" field in the ECU map. Download the “ECU Unlocker” add-on from AktiveMatrix (www.aktivematrix.com). To download files you have to register, then go to the download section and look for “Mitsubishi ECU Unlocker 1.1 for ECUFlash”. When you download the file, it has no extension, but it is a compressed zip file. Add the extension and unzip it. The current version requires the Microsoft .Net framework v2.0 (or higher) which you can get from “Windows Update”. If everything works, you can double-click on the executable and a small window pops up telling you to leave the program running and startup ECUFlash. Now start ECUFlash and it should connect just fine.
