PCMTuner Module 71 Bench Mode Not Working Solution

Here are the tips if failed to read ecu edc17cp45, edc17c06 etc on bench mode with pcmtuner module 71.

PCMTuner comes with spare transistors for GPT circuits, lots of people damage these by connecting wrongly to ECU so these are replacements if it happens.

If you use OBD for power supply, please do not plug in a separate 12V, otherwise, it will cause the device transistor or step-down chip to burn.

MUST USE PCMtuner power supply!
If you use your own lab power and voltage regulator. You don’t know how device power works. Just adjust the voltage to 13.5 or whatever you think will cause the whole triode to burn out.

The solution here helps many users with similar problems. edc17c60, edc17cp45, edc17cp06 all tested working on bench mode.
Resoldered two transistors K1P, and work bench mode. One soldered K1P other analog p1P, I had only one K1P.

replace first this transistor, K1P, analog 1P,p1P

k1p mmbt2222a – 0.6A 40/75V and p1p pmbt2222a – 0.8A 40/75V

Read on bench module 71 successfully.

If not working after replacing these resistors, check other transistor positions and get it replaced.

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

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.
