I tried today several things:

ECUFlash 1.42

ECUFlash 1.29a

With shorting the pins of the white terminal

without shorting the pins

clicking OK after switching the key to ON

Clicking OK BEFORE switching the key to ON

Here are the results:

1.29a DIDNT WORK AT ALL. Here is the error I got:

With version 1.42 more luck. When I choose 2003-2005 NONUSDM, I get this error:

When I choose 2004-2005 USDM WRX, here is what I get:

The white block has no effect at all.

Any ideas? I have the ProDrive kit (including ECU flash). I know that some have a problem reading it. What error should I get if it's locked?

O.K. so you've got an EDM(European? help me out) 2003 STi that you would like to READ the ECU off of. Correct?

 

Sounds like the cable is working fine as it is currently working with all other applications. So from here it looks like you need to also get another piece of hardware from what I can gather. If your STi isn't drive by wire; then you will need a "port initiator" that will pass the flashing voltage and end-line signal to the ECU. At least this is the case for USDM vehicles of the same year and model. Yours may be different, so you might want to scan the OpenECU forum for more info on your specific model.

 

Here is a link to the part that is needed for USDM vehicles:

Just got back to trying this.

Two questions:

1. Do I need this plug just to READ the ECU? I'm not trying to flash yet, just reading...

2. Any way I can make this plug in DIY method?

I've got a EDM Impreza STi 2003 with ProDrive kit (including a new map).

Using the VagCom cable I managed to datalog with RR, EcuExplorer and LearningView.

Now I want to READ ONLY the current map (not writting yet).

For this I've connected the green plug under the steering wheel, connected the USB to the computer and turned the key to ON.

The yellow engine light was flashing and the pump was switching on and off. But, ECU FLASH couldn't read the ECU.

I'm working with the latest ECUFLASH version.

Any ideas?
