ecu flash

[ir158]

hey guys,How do i read the data i get once i read my ecu with ecuflash?? great site by the way.

[GrayW]

Can you open the rom file once you have read it from the ECU, or does it say unknown rom def?

[ir158]

this is my first time doing this so im a bit slow! if i click on the file it opens, it gives me a list of make, model, sub model etc, and under that i have fuel ,timing limits etc but the only option i have with these is to right click and i get new map or edit map.

[GrayW]

Left click on them, on the little square box.

[ir158]

Excellent!! thanks very much.
just looking at my high octane fuel map and noticed that at 1000rpm with 10% load its set at 125.4??? surely a mistake when ecutekd??

[stu VI]

I had the same when I downloaded my standard VI map. Why is this?

[GrayW]

The location maybe slightly out in the xml.

[Cossie1]

Send me the rom, and i'll send the corrected xml back.

[ir158]

ok cool, how do i send it to you??

[ir158]

this should be it.....

[Cossie1]

Here you go, might be better if you delete your rom from the thread now

[ir158]

cheers mate, much appreciated. just tried opening it, but i get this error message:
'unknown rom image
ecuflash could not recognise this rom image using any of the current definitions'.

[GrayW]

Have you save the file Cossie posted in the directory with the other xml's?

[ir158]

how would i go about doing that? i downloaded cossies file and selected open with ecuflash,and then i get that message.

[Cossie1]

thats an xml file
not a rom.

you need to copy the file I posted into your C:\ProgramFiles\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\mitsu bishi\evo directory

[ir158]

ok, thats copied into there. what do i need to do now??

[Cossie1]

open your rom file

[ir158]

opened and it it still has the same discrepency at 10% load,1000rpm. im sure its just down to me being an idiot!!

[Cossie1]

did you put the xml I posted into the directory I said ?

If so did you overwrite the old file ?

[ir158]

yes i put the xml into the correct directory. how do i overwrite the old file? read it from the ecu again?

[Cossie1]

no

when you put that xml into the directory, it should have asked if you want to overwrite the current file.

You needed to press yes, otherwise it would just rename it and put them both in the same directory (or not even put it in there at all).

[ir158]

ok, did that and overwrote the existing file.then opened the Ai file i sent you and it still looks the same...

[Cossie1]

ok, did that and overwrote the existing file.then opened the Ai file i sent you and it still looks the same...

Don't know what is going on there then, you must have another xml with the same id in the ecuflash directory somewhere (the old 1 must not be anywhere in the ecuflash directory).

This is what I see using the xml I posted.

[ir158]

ill take a good look through it to make sure. cheers for all your help mate.

[Cossie1]

No probs.

[ir158]

no, there is not another file in there with the that name(24430002).
just to double check, i save the file you sent me to that location,overwriting the old file,then open ecuflash and open the origional file i sent you and it should show the ignition/fuel maps you sent??

[Cossie1]

yeh, or just double click on the file you sent me (the .hex file) and it should open ecuflash.

[ir158]

tried that, same outcome! dont know what the problem could be! ill have a mess with it tomorrow.

[Cossie1]

ok do this for me.

open the rom, go to the high octane fuel table, then click on edit (top left of the fuel table map) then edit map definition (bottom of the list).

And tell me the address showing in the top row on the right hand side.

[ir158]

hey mate, the address showing in the top right row is 118a7

[Cossie1]

then you haven't put the xml I posted in the correct place, as I changed that address to get the map to display correctly.
