Tried to read the ROM off a EVO VIII the other day and I kept getting an error message. I can log with evoscan (v2.6) but ecuflash just would not connect/read the ROM.

The car is imported from the US into Canada and is supposed to have been tuned via ecuflash. Current owner was sent several ROM images from previous owner. I wanted to confirm the content of the ECU before making any modifications.

Has anybody come across any issues like mine with the OpenPort cable?

The cable and ecuflash works fine with Subaru vehicles.

 

whats the error message?

 

From memory..."An error has occurred, check log file..." It doesn't get past the initialization stage.

Where is the log file? I looked in the ecuflash directory and didn't see anything.

 

Operating System? Screen shot of ECUFlash when the error comes up?

 

Windows Vista 32bit
I don't have access to vehicle any more. I think it is the same thing that happens when I try to connect to newer CAN-bus Subarus and the timing between turning ignition key to "ON" and hitting the "OK" button is off a bit.

 

i have the same problem

i have a USDM evo 8 , plugged in ecuflash with the cable 1.3u

click read from ecu .

says using serial port 1.3u
sending init sequence 1 (0001)
abort conection

then a window pops up and says an error occured , plg check log file

the log file says the same thing

with this code

TX2AfeY8C1383ff1503149c7f4fe6e05562045a5c127b911

is it bad software ? im using the 1.45 version and i tried version 1.29

im using windows xp

 

im betting the flash wire is not working. iv seen this before with the 1.3u cable.it will need to be sent away to be repaired or bite the bullett and get a new one.is there anyone local to you with another cable to try?
