LOST JEEPS :: View topic

Thanks, G-nado; "run as admin" got me going.
Before plugging into the beast I'm gonna re-review this entire (and all other) flash-threads, take copious notes, and move forward with as solid a grasp as possible of this procedure and available flashes. I can't afford to make a stupid mistake that compromises my ECU and cripples my jeep...
How long does it typically take to install a flash? I'm guessing it depends how many parameters you're adjusting (computer speed is also in play). A ballpark average-time would be helpful.
Regarding folks advice to hook a charger to the battery while performing flashes, I suppose why not. I'm quite curious if anybody has actually lost power during a flash procedure due to a depleted battery.
Given that I recently established that you can drive a CRD for 1.5 hours* on solely a fully-charged battery (serp removed) before stalling, it's difficult to imagine the current-drain from only the (ignition-on, no?) ECU would pose much danger. Further, I presume that people go for a test-drive after each flash, thereby recharging the battery between experimental flashes.
Again: How long does it typically take to install a flash?
Thanks!

Oh. That makes sense. Thanks.
This goofy old Toshiba mini-laptop will only run for two minutes on its (99% toasted) battery anyway, so I HAVE to have its 110vac charger hooked-up to flash!
It seems stupid to drop $50 on a new battery for such a slow/odd laptop; I need to check its charger's vdc output rating to see if I can power it off the jeep's 12vdc. Its 10" screen is kinda' handy. Nicely compact for keeping in the rig for flash-on-the-fly. Bought for a whopping $25, if it gets destroyed or ripped-off I will not shed even one tear.

And thanks for "5-minutes per flash" stat!

Hey guys newb here. Trying to get a egr delete tune but can't figure out what ecu I have. My jeep is a 2006 liberty (US) 2.8 crd. here is what I got from reading the ecu. Ž 1037512035P53363K0 ·’¥
Thanks for any help

a us market 2006 should be an "808" tune.

That's what I discovered after reading through a bunch of the posts and first page of this thread. My Jeep now has the 808 egr/fcv delete and mild tune. So far no issues. :BANANA:

For those of you, that want the Mild 808 Yeti Tune, Mild Nicks 808 Tune or Stock 808 Tune with P0403,P1140 Deleted, Follow the link here.

If you decide to download Yetis or Nicks tune, Please send them a PM Thanking them for their work. Ive only went through and removed DTC's based off the How-To written on the forum, using the public tunes already posted

Original post with the correct file. Thanks mrj248 for noticing, seems you're the first 806 to try it :wink:

Squeeto will need to update the first post with the correct link or file.

the battery charger is a precaution, if something goes wrong and you have to rewrite the original file it takes several minutes and the risk of staying without tension is real, I do it on any car where I work via OBD , if the writing process is interrupted , the ecu become corrupted , after is corrupted is not allways possible to rewrite and the ecu is , only solution is try to rewrite via BDM pad inside of the ECU

Put the laptop on it's charger while doing the flash But the vehicle should have a good fully charged battery as well.

The most important thing is you don't want the laptop crapping out during a ECM flash for any reason. As others have alluded to; if the ECM were to get corrupted for any reason during the flash due to the laptop losing power, the costs to replace or reprogram the ECM can get astronomical. Always better safe than sorry!

YVW My old gateway has the same battery issue. I've gotten by so far by using a cheap 175w inverter that plugs into the lighter socket, and plug the laptop's AC supply into that. When doing a cold flash, I put a charger on the battery, but for times that I flash when doing drive comparisons, the fresh alternator charge in the GRP 65 battery is plenty. It rarely gets much below 12.5V if that.

Ž 1037512035P53363K0 ·’¥ Thanks for any help Does not look right! Reading the file with a text reader like WordPad after you have read and saved it, it should look something like this: 1037380811P_399430 In this case it is an "811" file.

Post subject:	Re: DIY ECU Flash
I didn't think it looked right either...what program do you suggest I read the file with? Thanks edit: I tried reading with WordPad and got the same numbers. What am I missing? edit2: Ok through my newbery I realized my mistake. Looks like mpps ID'd my ECU for me as an 808. Thanks for the input.

There are something wrong in apardo001's 806 EGR/FCV delete file. I did file comparison and result is: C:\806>fc 806-oem-stock.bin apardo001-806-EGR_FCV_Delete-Stock_Tune.Bin Comparing files 806-oem-stock.bin and APARDO001-806-EGR_FCV_DELETE-STOCK_TUNE.BIN FC: no differences encountered When I looked maps from addresses E1E50 and E2960 - those are like stock - no EGR/FCV ellimination. Anyway I took my 806 version from EURO KJ - https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3187nbjhoeiz ... k.bin?dl=0 and modified it according to HrastProgrammer's 513 EGR/FCV delete file - https://www.dropbox.com/s/c84l906rt9m2j ... e.bin?dl=0 Can someone just look my work and verify that I did it properly.

Yeti, thank you, I'll make some corrections. After reading HrastProgrammer's error code guides I start to understand little more what is what.

It's ok , but you need to delete the p1140 , in your file you have deleted only the p0403 , if you want unplug the FCV connector and the maf delte this DTC 0101 0100 0102 and 1140 and you are ok ps nice job
