Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

No, the memory adapter necessary to update the firmware in an obd1 JECS ECU is the one you will see pictured if you look at the SVX chips. I designed it to fit in any obd1 JECS ECU even the ones with daughter boards. I'm not currently selling just the memory adapter. The way things look I doubt I ev...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

I believe the 2d and 3d table editing tabs are both blank in the released version of the software. That's what I was saying I haven't gotten around to finishing. I do hope to get a chance to sit down and finish them even though there is obviously not enough demand for this stuff to make it economica...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

I haven't gotten around to the table editing tabs. You need to have a memory adapter and ROM writing equipment before you can make use of editing firmware by the way. You can download your firmware and save it as a bin file and post it for public record and should do so. You can then edit it in the ...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

Looking at your switches page I'm thinking you are using the na 90-91 legacy definitions. Assuming that's what you have if you make a list of the parameters that are wrong I'll try to correct them. These definition files were just supposed to be to get us going until we established a firmware librar...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

Of course--it will only monitor those parameters you select as active. This is because you may only want to monitor 1 or 2 or 3 parameters at a time. The ECUtuner software is much faster than your ECU so the speed at which the ECU can serve up data is the only limiting factor for your monitoring/log...

To explain more fully on the loopback test I had him perform. If you look in the control unit communic...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

There shouldn't be any need to jump from computer to computer--just stick with the laptop you intend to use. If it has .net 3.5 installed it should work. Just in case the drivers from the windows update website are vcp and not d2xx I suggest downloading the correct d2xx drivers directly from the ftd...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

It looks like you have a newish computer which probably came with .net 4.0. For some reason microsoft did not include the previous version of .net as part of .net 4.0 so you have to install .net 3.5 which also includes .net 3.0 and .net 2.0 which ecutuner needs if that doesn't solve your problem let...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

By scan tool you mean can you check trouble codes with it? Yes you can check trouble codes and clear them and monitor all sensor data just like with a Subaru Select Monitor like the dealer would use.

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

Thanks, Well no it isn't a worth while market. I'll never make any money from releasing this. I just hope some people start using the ECUtuner interface and software to download their firmware so we can get a good library of the firmware for you guys. The injector latency is one of the ROM locations...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

I'm going to make some rudimentary instructions soon and will include this there when I do but for now...... There are some computers now that may have .net 4.0 installed without any of the prior versions of the .net framework installed. For some reason unknown to me (and some other programmers like...

Whatever works for you guys Josh, A note on the ej22t: While I don't have a copy of the firmware and havne't made a definitions file for it you can still use the ECUtuner software and interface to download the firmware. Once we have the firmware I should be able to identify at least the most importa...

Re: NA Engine Control Unit tuning and Diagnostics

No no no no no OBD1 cars are not flashable... You can not edit the firmware in your control units. You can download it. You can then edit it to make the changes you want to make. Then write the modified firmware to a ROM. Then install the ROM into a memory adapter. Then install the memory adapter in...

I haven't been working on it. The economy is so bad I haven't been able to invest the time to finish it. Presumably I will finish it eventually since it is mostly done and I have I think 500 of the interface pcb's in a box somewhere and a couple hundred kitted up for assembly already. I don't know w...

Maybe I like to see the glass half full rather than half empty but I'm quite certain things are much better than you are suspecting. The same definitions file will work with many versions of firmware not just a couple. The two definitions files for the na legacy cover all US NA legacies and at least...

I think you will find neither the ram nor rom locations are specific to the rom id numbers. It will be up to the people who are modifying and creating definitions files to figure out what cars match what definitions files and label them appropriately but I can tell you now that using the ROM id sche...

I already have the trouble code bitmaps in my definitions file. Do you have any of the switch bitmaps? fa0? fa1? fa2? fa3? Rom id numbers don't mean anything to me. A couple of those numbers look like label numbers (which don't mean anything to me either). What model and year cars do you have firmwa...

My memory adaptors use modern, readily available memory. You can not program them in the car. My memory adaptors also have the ability to switch between 2 versions of firmware on the fly according to an electronic input. There are all kinds of uses for that. Here's what one of my memory adaptors loo...
