1 MITSUBISHI ECU FLASH REPROGRAMMER (Ver. 2.00) INSTRUCTION MANUAL

2 !! NOTE and CAUTION!! Thank you for purchasing the TECHTOM Flash Reprogrammer. Please read and follow the instructions carefully to ensure correct operation of programmer. Misuse of the programmer will result in damage to the ECU. This programmer is design to be used with specific automobile models only - DO NOT try to reprogram any ECU other than designated. 1. Flash Memory Flash memory (or CPU) can be reprogrammed up to a certain number of times. If you don t know how many times your ECU has been reprogrammed before, there may be a possibility of failure. This is limitation of hardware. 2. Data Modification Original data for specific ECU must be used for flash reprogramming. Data version can be verified by checking the ECU Part Number and the base data filename. If you find the ECU with different part number from the base data filename, please contact Technosquare for assistance. This device is only a reprogrammer and does not have the capability of Map tracing or ROM emulation like the MT DO NOT modify program area of the data. Improper modification of the DATA for communication and Flash ROM functions will cause malfunction of the ECU which may be irreversible. KEEP AN EYE ON BATTERY VOLTAGE. Losing power during reprogramming will cause reprogramming failure and you may not be able to recover the ECU. AVOID ELECTRICAL NOISE. Electrical noise may interfere with communication to the ECU and function of ECU or programmer creating a potential for programming failure. A failed ECU cannot start the engine and often cannot be recovered or reprogrammed. Pay special attention when you work with automobiles equipped with an immobilizer. These automobiles cannot be operated with another ECU. The failed ECU may be repaired by special programming operation - please contact the dealer from whom you purchased the programmer for more detail.

4 1. Kit Contents 1 : Instruction Manual 2 : Programmer Device 3 : Programming software (floppy disk) 4 : Security Key (HASP)*1 5 : Mighty Map Large Lite Version*2 7 : D-sub 9 to 25 adapter cable Option: ECU direct wiring adapter (with AC adapter) *1 If you already have Mighty Map Ver.3, you may use that security key. *2 Optional.

5 2. Software operation environment requirements PC/AT compatible machine with legacy interface (serial and printer port). Floppy drive Printer port and Serial Port More than 1Mbyte of RAM MS-DOS operating system with XMS and EMS driver support. (Software does NOT work under window s DOS prompt. Pure DOS system is required) (Note: XMS.EMS driver MUST be loaded. Check your config.sys file)

6 3. Connection to the vehicle/ecu and PC Connection to the Vehicle Make sure the ignition key is at OFF position. Connect the programmer connectors (RED and Clear White) to the diagnostic ports (2 locations). Make sure connection is firm and secure. Connect white connector of connection cable to the reprogramming adapter. Connection to ECU by Adapter cable. Make sure AC adapter is OFF position. Connect ECU connectors (Gray) to the ECU. Connect white connector of the adapter cable to the reprogramming device. Connection to the PC Connect the programmer to the PC s serial port by using the D-sub 9 to 25 adapter cable Warning Disconnecting any cable during reprogramming session will cause programming failure. Pay special attention to the diagnostic port connection, avoiding any tension, as there is no locking mechanism

7 4. Operating Software All the software for this programming device only works on the MS-DOS 6.20 operating system. This software will NOT work under the Windows DOS prompt. You will need to install himem.sys and EMM386.exe memory driver in order for program to work properly. Flash programmer software Each program is made expressly for specific application models. Program name represents its application. Ex. Lancer EVO 7~8 series: EV7-WPCP.EXE (EVO English Writing program for PC models) The following will explicate the programming process using the program. Installation of the program There is no installer available for the program. If you wish to use the program from your hard drive, simply copy the program from the floppy to the hard drive. Security Key for the program The program requires the security key that is included with the kit (or Mighty Map, if you have one). Connect the security key to the PC s port before starting the program. Starting the program Ignition Key switch must be set at OFF position. Make sure all the cable connections are correct and secure, then turn the PC on and start MS-DOS. Start the program for the reprogrammer by typing in the program name [EV7- WPCP] then press the enter key at command prompt. After the program has begun, [turn ignition key ON] message will appear. Turn the ignition key ON. (If you are working with ECU adapter cable, then turn AC adapter switch ON ) Next messages show up and start connection to the ECU. If program doesn t proceed to the next step, turn the ignition off immediately and recheck the cable connections and battery condition of the vehicle.

8 Starting Program Main Menu The main menu shows up on the screen after the boot process is complete. FILE DATA Check SUM : The check sum of the data you specified which is going to be sent to the ECU. The another check sum shown next it is total data check sum. ECU DATA Check SUM : The check sum of the data that is currently in the ECU.

9 Specifying the DATA to program Using UP or DOWN key, select [F1 Write data name ] and press ENTER. File name input screen appears. You can type in the file name, if you know it at this point, otherwise just press ENTER or type drive letter then press ENTER After pressing the ENTER key, the file select screen appears. Choose the file you want by using UP and DOWN key then press ENTER.

10 Executing programming After specifying the data, select [F2 Flash ROM Write execute.] then press ENTER. Confirmation of [Erase + Write] screen will ask if you are sure to execute programming process. Check all the connection and battery voltage are ok, and then press ENTER. The flash programmer begins process by erasing current data that is in the ECU then replaces it with the new program. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS Power failure and/or cable disconnection will cause the interruption of flash reprogramming process and you can t recover ECU or starting engine.

11 Finalizing the Flash programming process When programming has been completed, select [F3 Exit] and press ENTER to terminate the program BEFORE turning power (ignition) off. It is also a good practice to check the check sum before terminating program. The ECU generates [ECU fail] diagnostic code during programming session, and the programmer will clear the code when the Exit command is executed. Therefore, if you turn the power (ignition) off before exiting the program, the diagnostic code remains in the ECU causing the check engine light to appear. Finally, disconnect reprogrammer s connector from the diagnostic ports, before start the Engine. In case the diagnostic code remains in the ECU, you can do one of the following. 1. Clear the code by using third party diagnostic tools (snap-on scanner etc.) 2. Clear the code by using diagnostic clear procedure on the repair manual
