After reading my current tune, I used ME7check and it comes up telling me there is an error, but the file is on my car and I drive it daily. How/Why would a checksum error be present on an operational .bin? This is probably a dumb question, but I am trying to learn quickly, and this just doesn't come across as normal.

This more or less confirms my suspicions about there being a encryption chip blocking you Smiley
Have you opened the ECU yet?

I got around to pulling the ecu tonight, does not appear to be any aftermarket solder jobs.

Yeah, sound like this is what's going on.
But if it is a tuned file, wouldn't there be errors in more than one checksum?
Unless there was only maps changed in one checksum area?

I think so, I'm at work now, I will double check when I get home.

Definitely more than one map was changed. NLS/LC, Stage 1+, Evap/SAI/N249 Delete

Is there anyway to check if checksum checking was disabled.

Yes there is, it is completely detailed here on Nefmoto by prj. You can find it easily.

Have you tried to open your bin in WinOls?

That is the only software I haven't touched yet, because I am still trying to learn address locations and HEX coding is somewhat new to me too.

Any particular reason you didn't use ME7Sum on it?

Sorry for the delayed response, I broke my elbow and haven't been able to do much.

I haven't used ME7Sum, because I didn't do this tune I simply read it trying to see what had been altered. After reading I was testing out ME7Check to ensure I could actually use it and found the checksum error, but was quite confused because I thought if checksums weren't correct it would brick my ECU. I will run ME7Sum on it when I get home.
