integroid Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Just got note from my friend that the ecuexploer would not communicate with my ecu. I guess this means the ecu is still dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Did he check using a Tactrix or AP V1.0 cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuczek Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Try loading a base HEX map for your car. You can get that from osecuroms.org . Once you load the base map, you may be able to get it working. If you can't even use ECUFlash, then the bootstrap is still corrupt or the ECU is actually fried. Have you checked your main relay, main fuse and the ecu fuse? Those would prevent you from seeing your ecu. Last resort is to send it back to Cobb or build that boot mode programmer (I posted the diagram above). You will need to order one of those USB-SERIAL boards I listed in that post and the the 555 timer chip and a few resistors/caps. If the ECU is still good, that programmer would allow you to bench flash the ECU yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous1 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 wtf i thought the apv2 was simpler to use? It is, his seemed to have had an issue from Cobb though. I installed mine almost 3 weeks ago with no connection issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yup, the APv2 works great now and I am loving it:) Geez...my car seems so fast now that I am debating doing the STi swap w/20g I have coming to me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckzul Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You did unplug the green TEST connector after the flash right? If you did then the ECU is fried. But hey, so is mine.. It will cost you about $800 if Cobb can't fix it. Where exactly is this test connecter? I know it is in the passenger side, behind the fan motor somewhere, but I honestly can't see it.

mickeyd2005 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 If your car has never been flashed, it will be tucked quite neatly under the carpet above where the passenger's left foot would be. I had to fish around for a while to find mine. You could also rip the carpet up, but I didn't want to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc6 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 So after pcm is replaced it's safe to say the AP needs to be sent back to get unlocked? 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did not unmarry your AP before you had your ECU replaced, you will have to send the AP back to cobb and pay like $350 to ahve them unmarry the unit.
