Title: ECU Read Problem, am I already "tuned"?
Post by: maxcaven on August 22, 2014, 08:28:44 PM
Hey guys, with the help of some other members on the board here, I was able to get the right cable and get NefMoto connected up to my S4. When I bought the car, I was told it was flashed by some company. The P.O. was pretty uniformed and neglected the car. I figured he was wrong/lying about that. I bought the car as a project to fix up, for a very fair price.

I can't fully read the ECU, so I figure I am doing something wrong (which is pretty likely haha) or maybe I am "tuned" and the ECU is blocking me out.

Here is a screenshot from NefMoto, let me know if there is any other info I can provide to help diagnose my problem.

SCREENSHOT DELTED - It was huge, problem fixed.

Thanks a ton guys!

Unlikely. Download the newest version of the Nefmoto software, connect, then change the baud to 38400 and retry.

You were right!  ;D

Loaded the ECU file. Now I am hoping someone can help me through my first edit. I'm trying to do the EGT delete (already have aftermarket sensors ready to wire if I can code it out) I've opened the BIN file in TunerPro, loaded the XDF file (the one off the S4 tuning wiki), and found the CDATR entry.

What do I now? Right click edit in Bin or XDF? And then what offset am I supposed to change? This is where I am at.

Thanks for the continuing help...

I would hazard a guess that you don't have a 8D0907551M binary-lol. What car/ecu do you have? XDF files are very specific.

Oh snap really? I must have mis-read the wiki. I have a 2000 S4.

Edit: I loaded the XDF from the wiki, the ones it says is "most popular".

When you connected with nefmoto it should have told you.

When you connected with nefmoto it should have told you.

"Switching to KWP1281 session.
KWP1281 connect info: 8D0907551H  2.7l V6/5VT"

That? Haha. If so, where can I get the correct .XDF file for that binary?

switch to 551m files much more defined

Alright, so going by that, I have the a-box. Does that mean I have to get the "a-box" XDF file? If so, where can I find that?

Like I said switch to the M box file / xdf  its 100% compatible

I did, the m-box is the one linked to on the wiki correct? 8D0907551M, ddillenger that wasn't the correct one. Unless I misunderstood him.

Thanks for the quick replies by the way guys!

You need to use the matching xdf for your file. So, flash the M-box to your ecu and use the M-box xdf.

Just copy MLHFM, MLOFS, and KFKHFM from the 551A!

Post by: maxcaven on August 24, 2014, 12:11:55 PM
Ok, I am so confused. I grab that m-box XDF file off the wiki, flash it to my ECU using nefmoto? Then re-read the ECU, load it into tuner pro with the m-box XDF? And where to I switch to 551a? Is that in Nefmoto?

I am 100 percent new at at this and have JUST started playing with this as of last week. Sorry for needing my hand held.

Is the build date 2000 or model year?

Is your MAF Bosch or Hitachi?

Model year, not sure of the build date. It's a Hitachi MAF.

Build date is on the sticker in your door frame.

No.


H box then. So now I have to get the XDF file for the H box, correct? Is there a repository (for lack of better term) for the files?


Title: Re: ECU Read Problem, am I already "tuned"?
Post by: ddillenger on August 25, 2014, 08:34:09 PM
Just flash an M-box file to your car.

Okay, right. I did that originally. What were you referring to when you said I didn't have the correct binary then?

Also, doing some digging around in notepad and it appears the car was tuned, although by nothing I have heard of before, PO must have been a nefmoto guy? Maybe?

I found this "MTH(C)2000ˇˇˇˇˇˇPower-Chip ME7.1*** St.1"

It´s a company in germany, good reputation from what i heard, they do developing for a really long time.
But I found some tunes of them in past which were not really worth the money they have taken for that (In my opinion).
