Title: 2002 A8 4.2l failed obd2 read
Post by: _nameless on May 23, 2014, 06:39:51 PM
Well I just tried to read a a8 for a base and well... didnt work out too good. it communicates no problem but soon as it goes to read it fails... I tried mpps first it prompted me to cycle key then failed, for giggles i tried nefmoto with no luck? Anyone else run into anything similar? Unfortunately I wont have the car till monday now. I dont mind bootmode but i just dont understand why i would have a problem with this?
thanks

what protocol in mpps did you use? i only ever use the 1.8t bosch me7.5 for anything me7. some of the others have a tendency to not work.

You are lucky the clone didn't read.
Worse is when it reads and on write bricks that ECU.

You have to "wake up" the ECU on certain A8s before you can read or write.

I can't remember the process off the top of my head, but, I'll dig it up and post it tomorrow.
