Working Example.
For our example we are going to Read and write both Flash memory and EEPROM from a Delphi CRD3.10 in this case, the ecu is from a 2012 Mercedes C250 blue efficiency model, a car not on our current module list.
With a little research we can find
1. ECM type and specifications
2. ECM pinouts
3. boot loader connections for pcb
Processor type TC1797
Password: Not implemented
Eeprom external

Step 1.
We need to dismantle the ECU in order to access the PCB to enable us to place the ecu in boot mode so that we can read/write.
First we remove the screws from the ecu case.

Next, using a heat gun, we gently heat the edges of the ECU lid to help loosen the bonding material, whilst gently prying the lid. Care must be taken not to use excessive heat or force!!

After removing the Lid we now have access to the ECU’s pcb.

Closer inspection of theprocessor shows it to be a tricore 1797

Now we must prepare the PCB for boot mode. Below are just some of the Schematics available via online resources on how to place this ecu into BSL or boot mode. Some will show connections for resistors to be soldered. These type are usually our last resort if we cannot use our boot and cnf cables.

Others may show the Labels L and H

and others BOOT and CNF1

L = Boot H = CNF1 which also relate to the cables on
PCMtuner bench wires with crocodile clips.
In order to connect to the points shown we can use pen probes (recommended ) or we can solder leads directly to these points that are usually pads, vias or IC pins.

With our PCMtuner interface NOT powered, we can connect or bench cable to the ECU

And connect our BOOT and CNF1 to the appropriate leads or Probe pens on the PCB

Step 2.
Power on our PCMtuner hardware, open PCMflash, and select module 53 TC1797 Micro (4096kb)
Our Micro is where our flash memory containing maps etc is located.

Next we click on Identification to ensure our connections and selection is correct

If you cannot ID then please check all connections to PCB, check ECU pinouts, or, in some cases you may have to revert to a diagram that shows
boot and cnf connections as resistors rather than a physical connection to your bench cable.
Next we click on Read, We will be asked to select password, in this ECU case we specify that it is not implemented.

When read is complete we will be asked to save the file

click save…
Now we will read our eeprom. In the case of this particular ECU its is an external Ic, so we select the option via MODULE 53>>external eeprom>>Delphi CRD3.1 eeprom

Again, click Identification..then read

and again save on the computer when done

To write a file to flash, we select our micro and click the file selection box

we then choose the file we wish to write…..

On this Particular ECU we must do our checksum before in our file editor as this automatic checksum function is not implemented

So we click yes……
For our ECU we must select ‘other (no crc checks) in the first drop down box.
Password is Auto (as not used on this ecu)’use write optimizations’ is unchecked. This means the full flash file is written. If checked, only changes in the file will be written to Flash –

We then click OK

Sit back, have a beer and wait on your latest masterpiece being written to the ECU

If all goes to plan….Successful write!!!

Ford SID208 SID209 BSL INSTRUCTIONS for PCMTuner

Jun10

Ford SID208 SID209 BSL INSTRUCTIONS for PCMTuner

Just select ECU during operation;

Step 1.
First,with ECU in the car(or on the bench with OBD breakout),we will identify our ECU
To do this, select 07 SID208 and click Identification

Our ECU details can now be seen, If needed we can make a note of these for any future reference.

Step2.

Now we must get the password from the ECU.

To do this we must use the Password option on module 71, and select SID208

Step 3.

Now we click the Read button

The program extracts the password from the ECU

you will now be asked to save it to a file (the serial number of the ECU will be in the file name, it is also indicated on the cover of the ECU itself).
Please remember where you save this file.

At same time the program will display the status of the ECU, i.e. whether signature verification is enabled or not.

If signature verification is already disabled, then someone has done it before, in this case, just can just write to the ECU as a regular SID208 or SID209.

Step 4.

Open the ECU and, looking at the picture, make the following connection:
Connect 1 kΩ resistors to two via points, connect the end of the resistors to the two upper pads.

Always be careful when you open ecu and when you are soldering not to damage components

Step 5.

In the PCMflash select 53 TC1797 micro and press the Read button

The program will ask you to point to a file with a password, you must change from auto to browse and select the file saved in the first step.

The ECU Micro memory will now start to read.

Reading time is around 2-3 miwnutes., The Full Memory is Read from the ECU. When Prompted please save the file.

Now repeat the above steps for the EEPROM. Select module 53 TC1997 EEPROM

How to work with ECU that require unlocking (PCR2.1) for PCMTuner

Jun10

Information
PCR 2.1 were installed on various vehicles group VAG diesel engine 1.6TDI requires BSL unlocking.
Please note: where available real reading, only the calibration area is subtracted (not the full dump), in this case, pay attention to the version of the calibrations coincided with the current version of SW, otherwise. Work very carefully, only SIMOS 8.1/8.2 ECU can be restored via module 53 (Tricore BSL). The rest will have to change to new ones.
The current lock status is displayed when the unit is identified (works for SIMOS 8.4, 8.6 and PCR2.1):

Module: VAG: 2.8L V6 FSI (SIMOS8.6)
Identification
Catalog number: 4G0907552F
Software version: 0005
Hardware number: 2.8l V6 FSI CHVA
VIN number: WAUZZZ4G3BN******
Encoding: 1A250034042601020000
Programming: 2
ECU type: SIMOS8.6
The digital signature verification check: Disabled

If the check is disabled, you do not need to unlock it.
The essence of the unlock-modification of the external EEPROM installed in the unit. So before unlocking it is suggested to read EEPROM and save.
For ECUs PCR2.1 loader displays the current lock status when identifying in BSL mode (if set).

Serial number: 41048482-19E0A315-82060010-240EFE00
Hardware number: EV_ECM16TDI
Part number: 03L906023KN
Software version: 9056
VIN number: WAUZZZ8X4BB******
The digital signature verification check: Disabled
Serial number: 41848480-13C09713-82160010-270A0700
Hardware number: EV_ECM28FSI
Catalog number: 4G0907552F
Software version: 0005
VIN number: WAUZZZ4G3BN******

Each press of the “Initialization”button in BSL mode changes the lock status to the opposite. So be careful what you do.

How to work with ECU that require unlocking (PCR2.1)

1) Check the current lock status in the car, if the check is disabled, you can go to read-write, otherwise follow the instructions
2) Remove the unit from the car, open it, transfer the processor to BSL mode using the connection pictured (PCR2.1,) the work as a whole as in the package 53
3) Choose “PCR2.1 (EEPROM/UNLOCK/BSL)”
4) Click Identification – save ECU data somewhere in a text file.
5) Click Read – save the EEPROM
6) Given that ECU is blocked, we perform Initialization once for PCR2.1 get something like this displayed):
Module initialization
Entering programming mode
Transfer bootloader
Examination
The digital signature verification check: Disabled
Done
On this ECU BSL complete. remove resistors, and ECU can be sealed closed and put in the car. Then read write as normal

Scania vci3 2.48.2 Installation Tutorial

May25

When we got the scanner “Scania VCI3”,how to install the software is a problem for some of our customers.

Here we share some steps on installing.

1.open the scania vci 32.48.2 foler

2.Install in the order of the pictures below, the order cannot be wrong! (The installation software is all run as an administrator)

Note: After the installation of the fourth software (Prerequisites.cmd) is complete, the computer needs to be restarted once! ! ! If the computer does not restart, continue to install the software, the software will not be available! ! !

3.After opening the scania vci3 2.48.2 folder, enter the Fix folder directory, and select the following files according to the system of the computer. If the computer is a 32-bit system, choose X32, and if the computer system is a 64-bit system, choose X64. (Choose the wrong computer system installation will cause the installation to fail!!!)

4.After opening the folder, select the first file to run (run as administrator!!!)

5.Return to the Fix folder, run the Hardware ID Reader file (run as an administrator!!!), after opening it will prompt a string of digital codes, if your numbers are the same as the picture demo, the installation will fail. The software needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled! ! ! The correct numeric code should look something like this ：78113F059337D68A39C9F422271CF8AB42FA
Give the correct digital code to the engineer for activation, the engineer will send you an activation file like this

Just put the activation file on the desktop and run it. (It should be noted that when running the Hardware ID Reader software to generate an ID, the Hardware ID Reader software cannot be closed, because closing the Hardware ID Reader software will invalidate the ID file registered by the engineer. So minimize the Hardware ID Reader software and let it run in the background just fine)

6.Enter the fix folder of Fix and select all the files in the fix

Copy all the files in the selected fix to the location of the desktop SDP3 files. (Prompt whether to replace the current file, select yes to all)
Right-click to open the SDP3 software on the desktop, select Properties, and then select the location of the open file

7.Then go back to the Fix file and run the Scania SDP3 Time file (run as administrator!!!)
After the software prompts success, do not close the Scania SDP3 Time software. (Be sure to restart the computer immediately!!! Otherwise the installation will fail)

8.After restarting the computer, open the SDP3 software, there is a menu bar on the left, indicating that the software has been installed successfully.
