ok, well that explains why i reached the limit that fast. If i was to buy the scanmatik tool. is that something easy to do or would it be possible for me to buy a different tool, read the ecu, have someone of here edit the counter and i reload on the car?
i think i saw earlier on the forum that someone did it with kess? is that possible?
Once you have a flasher you can ask someone to reset the flash limit in the eeprom for you.
There is no magic reset button.
Pull ECU from car, read full dump (incl. the eeprom), send it to someone who knows what they are doing, flash EEPROM back to ECU and then you can OBD flash with PCMFlash another 25 times.
Or if someone really knows what they are doing they can build in a flash counter resetter that sets the counters to 0 the moment the ECU boots up.
Either way you are going to have to pony up.
Kess is an OBD tool. The bench tool is K-Tag. But then if you buy a china clone it probably won't do bench, only boot, so you will have to disassemble the ECU.
