Checksum problem Colt czT

Hello,
this is my first post and unfortunately I have to start with a problem... ;)
I drive a Smart ForFour Brabus.
We do a lot of modification at this car, at the engine and also there is an tuning file at the Ecu. We use the car for mountain race. At the moment it has 230 hp on Dynamo. But the Fueltrimm is no so good.
So I want to do some modification on the rom.


The Ecu is the same as in the colt czt. I can read and write the rom with Mitsu Bootloader. I bought a second ecu (used one) from a czt and write it with the rom from the smart Brabus, because I was afraid to write the stock ecu.
I have to write the new Vin in the Ecu but this was not the problem and the ecu from the colt is working without any problem in the smart.
But I have a problem with the checksum. If I open the stock rom I get the message that one or more checksum value are incorrect. But the checksum is ok.
If I correct the checksum with EcuFlash and after I write the rom, the Engine did not run.
I have the same problem if I open the stock rom from the colt Czt ecu.
Somebody who can help me with the checksum or had the same problem with the colt czt?
Thanks a lot!

Your best bet to start with is to post the factory ROM on this forum. That way it's more likely someone can help with tuning definitions.

Thank you for your info.
piasini master, I don't know it. How much is that? It is possible to buy it as end user?

Here is the ROM with the correct checksum and the definition file from colt czt (47110032) which I have mod. for the Brabus (49100033).
EcuFlash find incorrect checksum values. But the checksum is ok. If I click "Yes" to correct it, EcuFlash write a Checksum at a wrong address.
The same problem with the stock CZT ROM and the definition file 47110032.

I think the ROM are not 512k ROM's,because behind 384k there are only "FFFF"...
I tried to convert the file to a 384K ROM but when EcuFlash do not write a Checksum in the file.

Thanks a lot for you help!

Hello guys,
I would be very happy if somebody could help me reading my ecu. Its from a 2005 EDM Czt.
It does not respond to any init code. I also tried Ecu unlocker without success.

Best regards,
Chris

I'm Chris from Austria,
Today I was able to read and write back to ecu!
There is only a little problem, the ecu doesn't use the uploaded tuning file it just spools up the cooling fan and says check engine..
Engine doesn't start!!
I think this is a checksum problem. Is it possible to calculate the checksum manually and fix it ??
Greetings,
Chris

yes it's possible to calculate the checksum

if you write the org file back to car did the car start ?

No it didn't start because the file I got from Ecu is wrong.. after 60% which is address 60000 up there are only F's and thats not correct.
So Ecuflash doesn't read correct!
