Hi guys, i know this has benn probably posted by other fellow forum members but here it goes for me :

Drove home from work then adjusted my map while in car car still. I then turned ignition off engine died car said goodbye then start switch to ign on position to write my modified map (reduced some boost, timing, etc) all went well then I clear DTC's as usual but error messages and fan kept on running even DTC's been cleared so i though it was hot outside so the fans kept on running. Turned ignition to off and on again the error messages was still there and fans kept on running, tried to clear DTC's again (it did it's job) but error sand fans were still there and running.

I did the pin 8 & 12 swap (both methods swapping the pin & using the Mitsubishi reflash connector ) but then i same get error message :

[15:33:29.328] 53050006 (109 tables) inheriting evo10base (102 tables)

So I guess that didn't work out for me. Before doing this pin swap, battery was checked with a good charge, also disconnected the battery for 15mins then same result. USB cable was also good and tried another good cable too ... all other things run with both usb cables except being stuck in my situation now.

Now whenever i turn to "on" position, i get a list of error messages popping up on MID and the fans just keeps on running until i shutdown.

I have the whole day today till tomorrow noon. Hope someone out there could help me out. Did alot of search but didn't help much.

Tephra did mention about :

Power/Grounds:
73 = +12v?
81 = ground
82 = +12v?
93 = ground
104 = +12v?
Just ensure the "power pins" have +12v and the continutity between the ground pins and chassis is 0ohms:

To OBD connector:
90 = CANH
91 = CANL
80 = Kline
103 = pin 8 or 12 ???

i'm yet to try this out but can i have a better instruction ? well being a noob, do i have to pop the hood and find the wiring mentioned and connect them to +12V and GND and then wire the bunch to OBD connector ? after all that wiring job, i fire up ecuflash and flash back to original rom ? what are the following steps ?

Looks like alot of wiring work to do . . .

Many thx in advance !

I've swapped the pins back to normal position, batt is disconnected for time being to preserve charge and i can only use the Clear DTC function in ecuflash but the error messages and fans keeps on running which tells me ecuflash is able to communicate with ecu somehow and someway, can't reflash, can't read . . .

added pic . . . 1st pic is the DTC code i pulled from pcmscan and 2nd pic is ecu connectors ready to be connected for recovery using tephra's method road to recovery !

 

The recovery method doesn't seem to work while the ECU is inside the vehicle. You'll need to unplug the ECU from the harness and connect wires directly to the Open Port 2.0 and power/ground.

 

thx sic, which wires ?
i;ve got a spare batt (ori panasonic fully charged) laying in my store room

 

Battery won't work...

 

You'll more than likely have to have to do this on a bench. The only people that I know whom have successfully done this was Hamish, Jon from HBSpeed, and Colby. As for the actual wiring, I've never done it myself so you might want to PM or email one of the people that I mentioned.

 

thx sic n clipse

 

why wont the battery work?

it should - so long as its 12V+...

ok my source also says you might need to connect the OBD connector to power:
OBD pin4 = battery ground
OBD pin16 = battery +12V

OBD pin12 should goto ECU103, forget OBD pin8

let us know how you get on!

best of luck - make sure you tripple check everything - we dont want smoke!

Hi guys,

1st of all I would like to say many thx to everyone especially to Hamish, Tephra, Gunzo, Jon@HBSpeed, Xprimnt & Clipse3gt who read my post and helped me out.

the good news is that my ride is up and running now back to normal ! believe me, it's been a nightmare and a GREAT relief now.

 

So were you able to fix it by the method posted above?

 

Not really
