Problem reading evo 9 ecu

[abd]

Hi,

This is probably the correct forum part..

Background:

I am trying to read the ECU on my Euro EVO 9 2006.

I am using a PC with win xp, a tactrix cable and ecuflash 1.3.

I get these errors when trying to read the ecu on my EVO 9 after I have connected the usb-cable, turned on the ignition, selected "read from ecu" and selected 2006 evo9/at in the list and pressed OK.

[23:27:37.140] 121 ROM metadata models read.
[23:27:37.140] checksum module "subarudbw" loaded.
[23:27:37.140] flashing tool "wrx02" loaded.
[23:27:37.140] flashing tool "wrx04" loaded.

[23:27:37.140] flashing tool "mitsubootloader" loaded.
[23:27:49.531] unable to connect to vehicle interface.

I have tried to downgrade to ecuflash 1.28 but it gives an other error, it says something like "sending init 1, sending init 2, sending init 3" then it gives a popup like "error, check the log"

Cable seems to work as far as i can see.


Please help, I am getting more and more frustrated..

The ECU is supposed to be stock. I had problems running EVOscan also, mitsulogger does work though..


Thanks..

Have tried again to re-install everything but still can't connect..

In the bottom right of ecuflash it reads something like: Openport 1.3 for Mitsubishi xjyz23

I now realize that I get exactly the same error when I plug-in the USB cable in the computer without plugging it into the car.. So i have no connection at all to the ECU..

BTW, I got evoscan to work by changing regional settings for , and .

think you need to load the ecu unlocker. is it an fq model. if you need the unlocker let me know and i can mail it to you. just send me pm with your email addy

Thanks for your pm but I got it working now after installing v1.29a.

So you had V1.30, then you tried V1.28, but then used V1.29A, and it worked???
Just wondering if I still need to keep my older versions... for situations like this.
Thanks
