As these codes are stored in the ECU Flash EEPROM.

10 10 Part 3: Loading FullAccess (FA) on ECU. In this section, we will show the step-by-step on how to load FA onto your ECU and communicate with it. Step 1: - Connect USB cable to MINIPort and attached to your laptop computer. - Launch FA software - Go to the ECU menu and select Load FullAccess on ECU Step 2: - Connect MINIPort to the car s OBD Port - You can only load this onto ONE vehicle.

12 12 Step 4: - FA will read out your current ROM inside the ecu and save it under Open ROM Documents. - This file will be named stock rom* (aka your original rom) and can not be modified. - This stock rom* will be used when you wish to revert back to the STOCK ECU form. - Saving your stock ROM file will take approximately 4 minutes.

13 13 Step 5: - Once the stock ROM* has been saved, FA will continue on with the next step. - FA will now save a stock tune that can be modified. - As this stock tune is being saved, you will see the adjustment parameters populating under the Current ROM Metadata area - This second read out will take about 3 minutes.

14 14 Step 6: - Once the stock rom* and stock tune have been saved, FA will move on to the next step. - The automated process continues on its own; so please let it run through its entire process.

15 15 Step 7: - Next, FA will load the DATA-Logging sequence into the ECU. - This process will take about 2 minutes. - The progress bar will show the status of this task.

16 16 Step 8: - Once FA has finished communicating with the ECU, it will pop up with a confirmation message. Step 9: - Congratulations! You now have full access to your ECU through this program. - Click OK to finish.

23 If you interrupt the loading and unloading process, there is a high chance making the ECU INOPERABLE. In order to REVIVE your ECU, you must send the unit to us to perform this function. This service carries a $ fee plus return shipping back to you. 23 Step 9: - STOCK rom is being loaded back into your ECU. - This will take about 2 minutes. Step 10: - Done. Once the above process is completed, you will see a confirmation message. Your ECU has been remembered by this MINIPort device, and you can load and unload as many times as you would like. But of course, loading and unloading FA from your ECU takes certain amount of time and carries a certain risk factor.
