Hello from Germany and sorry for my bad english,
this is my first thread and there is directly my fist n00b question
So, I got nefmoto Software, i got a compatible cabel, i got the USB drivers, I read the "getting started guide" and the S4 Wiki, in other words, I am ready for reading my ECU software and store it to a file.
But I'm a littlebit afraid of it, because in the n00b FAQ is written the following:
Q: Can I harm my ECU in any way?
A: A: Yes, if you are not careful. On most cars you can read the ECU without any issues, however on some cars reading will cause a fault code to be set which prevents the car from starting - if the car does not run after reading, re-flash the file you just read from the ECU. This is the case for '04-06 Allroads,
and can occur on some others. Go to his forum section for useful info
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?board=16.0I have 2001 S4 6 Speed with motorcode AZB.
I also have no Galetto or MPPS Cable but for the first time, I will only read my Software and play a littlebit around to get some experience (delete VMAX, delete Post O2 Sensores).
Before I try to flash, I think I buy MPPS oder Galetto just in Case...
The Question ist: How possible is it, to brick the ECU during the readingprogress ?
