Solution: KESS V2 is Unable to Display Connection Diagram

Problem

After installing KESS V2 software, no matter which car model or ECU selected, there are no connection diagrams. It only gives me a blank page. What’s the reason?

Solution

The reason why causes this issue is because of TF card.

1. Take out TF card from KESS to clean, then reinsert to have a try;

2. If issue still persists, which means the TF card is damaged. Please exchange a new TF card.

This is how to solve KESS software is unable to display connection diagram problem.

Hope it is helpful.

Read frm3: Xprog 5.55? Xprog 5.84? Orange5 Clone?

Purpose: Read frm3

ECU programmers to try and test reports:

Xprog 5.55 clone reviews on reading FRM3:

1. When I read d-flash is always corrupted. 

2. Had the same with 5.55, no way to verfiy or to read FRM3 correctly.

Bought Xprog 5.84 and no problem anymore.

3. flash the atmega with 5.51 luis andre that is stable, 5.55 is useless.

Orange 5 clone reviews on reading FRM3:

My China Xprog reads differently every read for FRM3. Useless tool, no matter which program version.

I replaced it with Orange5

Orange5 Clone works perfectly fine. The process is very slightly different, but it has been documented here in the forum. It works well 

Clone UPA reviews on reading FRM3:

Clone UPA does not work on frm3 at all.

Downgrade to Xprog 5.51 works but that version lacks the possibility to read broken dflash so you'l have to use a dump from internet and code afterwards.

Enjoy!

How to fix VW crafter ECU EDC16C34 locked with KTAG?

Malfunction: VW crafter ECU locked accidentally, ECU type: I believe it's an EDC16C34

Problem description:

The crafter needed its dpf and egr de-activating so using kess v2 i read the ecu file (all went fine). Using a program called "ecu safe" i de activated the dpf+egr then wrote the new file back to the vans ecu (all fine and van running perfect).

Now to the problem, the crafter needs a 62mph limit by law and it seems i had somehow removed this with the new file. I have re written the file with unchecking the Vlimit removal, saved the file and tried to write this to the ecu but it fails every time saying "wrong security code". The kess software will no longer work, ID-READING-WRITING-RECOVER all these give the same error. Looking back at ecu safe there is a check box marked "protection", did i accidently leave this box checked, could this be why i cant access the ecu?

Attach the original file (from @ neilmch) here:

https://mega.nz/file/ldBnRQ6D#6SJ8sq_42OOL4dQz9dyYnQQTI8MpwcvlfSF5YdR4i7M

crafter reading 1 - file saved when Kess read ecu

crafter read - text file that was created (cant remember if it was when read)

crafdpf+egr - this is the file i wrote to the ecu.

The crafter is a 2.5l diesel, BJL engine code and i think the ecu is bosch EDC16CP34.

The Kess protocol was 73.

@ peechie replied:

You need to open the ECU and attach the BDM adaptor (Bosch) to your ecu as pictured. You need to buy KTAG ECU programmer and the adaptors. You don't need to lift the PCB. The BDM pads are on the lower part on the top side.

It is an easy job but it might be better if you take the ecu to someone who can bench it and ask them to write a BDM original to it.

Hope it helps!

Thanks again to @ neilmch and @ peechie.

(Solved) KTAG 7.020 Ksuite V2.25 does not work

Customer Problem:

Hi, I install the Ktag V2.25 software but the menu is all gray and I can't select a car.

I have tried to reinstall it and the result is the same.

I have also tried to install it on another PC and the failure is the same.

I think that for some reason the ktag has stopped working. It appears in the Windows device manager but does not communicate with the ksuite software.

OBD2shop.co.uk engineer solution:

About the gray menu, it is the TF card problem, please take out the TF card and insert it again, check if it can work.

The customer's response:

The software can be selected but still does not work.

"Well, no luck. I have tested with 2 ECUs of Honda Accord 2.2 i-dtec and it does not work with any.

I attach photos with the screenshots.

After a while in which it does not go beyond "identifying ECU" the error in the photo appears."

Below is the ECU wiring diagram:

OBD2shop.co.uk engineer solution:

Please see the attached image.

Branch this red wire out another wire and connect it to the place of the orange wire.

The customer's response:

Well it works. It seems incredible to me that following the instructions of the software it does not work and that in the other ktag that we have it works perfectly with the orange cable and that in this it is necessary to put the 3 red cables.

But hey, I'm happy because in the end it has made it work.

Thank you very much.

Iprog read MC68HC705B32 (UCH) possible and how?

 How to read MC68HC705B32 (UCH) on the Megane in circuit with Iprog programmer?

the diagram that the iprog says it is to read the processor, but the cable from pins 1, 5 and 40 has no connection and as the wire cores are not like the diagram.

Get a multimeter and test what colour wire goes to each pin on adapter then write it down 

then you will see what colours corispond to the colours you need if there then found to not be connected to the pins you need then get a soldering iron and move the wires to the correct pins 

if you cant solder then get someone who can to do it for you.
