Did you push in the clutch when reading or writing?
Did you connect all the connectors?

no clutcch, they were both automatic.
i did connect all the connectors, even tried once without the white one but nothing worked.
funny enough, the car cycles the fans so i figured it would work.

Although Denso ECUs were adopted in bugeye WRXs in 2001, it's very possible the 2001 Forester STi was still using a Unisia JECS ECU. You might wish to physically examine the ECU to determine this for sure.

this is the error i got when i tried ecuexplorer (as ecuflash doesn't have a link for 2001 forester, just the 2004 up), i hope it helps
this pic shows the ecu and vehicle model if that helps
this was the error
