openECU tools on an EcuTek ECU?
I have an EcuTek flashed ECU. I'd like to be able to scale my injectors and MAF, then make the drive to my tuner, where he could then make my final map with EcuTek. Is there any reason why I can't do this?

Ecutek started "locking" out the ecu about a year ago. So, you won't be able to read or flash the rom if you have had a tune within this period.

You can go to OpenECU.org or activematrix.com and DL'd the ECUunlocker program.

This is a very interesting point. I am actually running a ECU which is not my original, so the license could well be one of the older versions which is unlocked.
Pardon my ignorance, but with a tactrix cable, and the OpenECU tools, I could confirm this? |

as has been stated, if you were reflashed with ECUTEK in the last 12 months approx. then your ECU has been locked out, so the open source tools, as well as the dealer ECU tools (including other flashing tools from people like Cobb), won't be able to read the ECU at all. You can confirm this by trying the ECU read function in the ECUFLASH program with the Tactrix cable, if the check engine light just continues to blink and the fans cycle then most likely your ECU is locked out.
If you got ECUTEK'ed last month, then it's 100***37; definately locked out. If you had your ECUTEK done over a year ago, then it's possible that you *may* be able to read it. The ECUUNLOCK program ONLY works with the Mitsus. |
