oxygen, I assume that the car you are attempting to flash or read from is
1) Not ECUTEK-ed
2) A supported model that openecu can access
3) has been installed with the necessary jumpers, if at all
Once these are done, you have to
1) Ensure that the green connectors are well connected
2) Turn the ignition key but do not crank start, you should see a flashing CEL and the radiator fan will go on and off, on and off...
3) Switch off the ignition totally
4) Select the proper metadata on Ecuflash
5) Only turn the ignition to "ON" when PROMPTED by the program
6) It should work...
I used to skip step 5 and and left the ignition at the "ON" position. Apparently, it won't work that way.
