Title: Is there any way to tell if the ECU has entered BOOT MODE?? Post by: coltaaan on May 05, 2013, 06:53:38 PM I was able to read 2 ECU's I had one day the next day nothing... I have tried everything I have found on this forum that other people have found to work. Tried 3 different computers, reloaded drivers still nothing. I'm wondering if I have a bad cable even with no power to the ECU Galletto says BOOT MODE INNACTIVE. I have noticed after I ground pin 24 if I keep my power probe hook on it (not applying ground) it's getting a ground pulsed to it. it doesn't seem to have a rhythm just a random pulse. sometimes one or two sometimes its held longer than others. Without trying to enter boot mode it has voltage to it. Any ideas? does this mean I'm in boot mode?

It is a dual purpose pin. in this case, an address line (irrc) that is used once the cpu is booted, so obviously you are seeing activity on the pin Grounding the pin is done while the cpu is booting, which is when the cpu samples the pin voltage to decide if it goes to boot mode or not.

Since I have two different readings depending on if I short it or not I would assume that the ecu is going into boot mode?

Post by: krazydbiker on May 06, 2013, 05:22:26 PM my china galletto cable said the same thing when it fried, out of nowhere, and there was no way to tell :-\, same error message though, even though it was infact working in bootmode.... i ended up getting MPPS after that, a good one costs $ though
