yesterday it worked but today once i plug in the openport1.3. open up ecuflash and click read to ecu the pop up window should already read the ecu. the bottom tab reads. "read" & "cancel". today that window is blank. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling ecuflash, checked my cable the flash wire does have power going into it but i checked my wire to the ecu its fine like i never touched it. still dont know whats wrong. help anyone!?

im sure ecu flash options work other than reading the ecu. when i ready to read the ecu it doesnt prompt me about turning on my ignition then press ok.
this is what i get when i write ecu but when i compare ecu it works and compares them?:
[18:50:32.476] sending init sequence 1 (0001)
[18:50:35.726] sending init sequence 1 (0003)
[18:50:38.979] sending init sequence 1 (FFFF)
[18:50:41.712] no response to any known code
[18:50:41.713] interface close

 

come on over 20 views no replys..?

 

Pull up EvoScan and check your battery voltage. If it's too low, you'll have problems.

 

Has anyone come across this problem!! It'll let me do everything else but not read!

 

Some problems with the new version..? Does anyone have verson 1.29 just to check it its the case. OR A DRIVER

 

No one close by with another cable that you can do a quick check with and see if its the cable?

 

Is your car a 4/5 or 6? I notice that you have thoes parts for sale. I think there were some issues with some of the 6 ECUs, but that was mainly flashing. You might also try for help at www.geekmapped.com this UK based site has a bit more experiance with the older cars.

 

Your half right it's a mirage evo swapped running evo 8 ecu. Is their a way reload the model file. I know befor you go to read the ecu their a prompt window. You have to choose you model. Is their a file from ecu flash that will let your put those files back or could it be something else.

 

ok i hope this is the cause:

faulty cable pin conntecting to pin 79. im gonna try this. when i checked the voltage it was 2-4 volts, and kinda jumpy? so im gonna jam the multimeter in. see how that works.

 

Looks like battery voltage or a locked ECU as the most common problems. Start the car and run it for 1 min before you try to connect, or throw it on a battery tender/trickle charger and let it charge for ~30 min before trying again (with the charger still connected).

If you have flashed the car before then it isn't locked, if not try ECU Unlocker.
EDIT:
Nevermind. Does it give you the option to select which ECU type? If not it is probably trying the wrong initialization sequence.

 

i found out what the problem was. nothing to do with the cable. 4-5 volt source from pin 79 is correct. once you download ecuflash theirs the read template. NOTE*** COPY ALL OF THE XML FILES IN THAT FOLDer AND PASTE IT IN THE EVO XML FOLDER(IN ROMMETADATA/mitsubishi/evo/ FOLDER)

AND IT WORKS NOW....who ever comes to this would probably find out the hard way. uninstalling and reinstalling doesnt do anything. you have to manually do it. f***up, but good to know.
