ECUflash/ Tactrix cable newb thread
I don't think holding the INFO button turn off that light off I tried that already
must be an evo thing i guess, mine goes off when something is broke. pretty much any obd2 device should be able to disable the light, my 30 dollar scanner can, and I think the tactrix cable can judging from the documentation, but I've not yet done that.
Ok, so i downloaded the def file and put that in the lancer folder, downloaded the bigmaps file and put that in my map folder, downloaded the lancerread file and put that into the readtemplets folder and still nothing happens when i read from ecu! so i went into my stock rom and i adjusted the open loop tables to happen earlyer so it will switch to open loop when im in boost! also i have a code po134 or something bank one sensor one, oxygen sensor circuit no activity detected...i had it yesterday too and i cleared it, but it came back... does this mean my front 02 sensor is bad? my wideband tells me its working tho.. weird, also i have a system too lean bank one code!
take a look at this log guys let me know what my next move should be!

Also about the "i put this here, I put that there....and still nothing happens when i read from ecu" what's that about? You can't read the ROM that is on there right now, but can flash changes to your ROM? I'm confused.
I think the Evo X only uses tactrix with out the wire plugged in I have all the drivers I just think the setting are off.
The system too lean code is no surprise...you are runnin lean like a **** i think. As far as that code, what's up with the 02 sensor? is it plugged in, does it report data in evoscan? Also...if you've been running hot, which I expect you have, that can cause sensors both wideband and narrowband to go bad.....

So i guess tomorro ill get the AFR down into the 11.5's or so in boost, and watch my knock, If im still knocking ill work on the timing! sucks i wanted to load the evo rom into my ecu, but im scared to flash it, and wont be able to flash back to my stock rom! this is what i get with the tactrix cable plugged in and i click the blue icon to read from ecu:

Can't get the car to log it say's connected but the reading are not there I have for the device setup openport 2.0 and CAN2006+/EvoX checked, select ecu: model23 USA EVO X, method/ecu OBDII EFI.
If anyone has any info on this newbie question please help
Thank you.

Did you click start datalogging?
Well the front 02 sensor is in fact plugged it, its weird because, the 02 feedback (STFT) does work and gives out signal, so doesnt the 02 sensor voltage..Also my wideband works because in closed loop it strives for 14.7 and when i get to open loop i can tell becuase the AFR's go down to the mid 13's to 12's. Not sure whats up there?? What i ment about ECUflash was it wont let me "read from ecu" Like when i click the button to read from the ecu when the cable is plugged in a blank window pops up, the window that displays the car and what not. I remembered when i first "read from ecu" in the window it gave me options to select a vehicle, but the window is now blank with no vehicles to select, so i cant read from the ecu. I can however flash the ecu. When i made changes to the open loop table and lowered the values so it entered open loop sooner it did seem to work, and the log in ECUflash also said "flashing correct!" also the car at first after i flashed it had a low idle but then adjusted itself after a min or so, so i think the flashing is working. I think i have something routed wrong, i just dont kno where!
So i guess tomorro ill get the AFR down into the 11.5's or so in boost, and watch my knock, If im still knocking ill work on the timing! sucks i wanted to load the evo rom into my ecu, but im scared to flash it, and wont be able to flash back to my stock rom! this is what i get with the tactrix cable plugged in and i click the blue icon to read from ecu:

Sounds good to me, did you click the start logging button?
