Solution: KTAG V2.25 Read Mercedes ME9.7 ECU Communication Error

Problem: I was using V2.25 Red PCB KTAG 7.020 to read Mercedes ME9.7 ECU for programming. But it failed and gave a warning: “Communication error with the ECU: control all connections; if the problem persists, send the LOG file to the assistance.”

What’s going on? Can you help me?

Solution

The reason why caused ECU communication error is because of using wrong connection interface. This interface is where to connect with ME9.7 ECM engine computer for writing data.

Original BOSCH ME9.7 ECU should be read by wiring. The wiring diagram can be found in KTAG(please click into blue link).

Updates

Now can you tell your technician to give me diagram to read with ribbon cable, please?

Engineer replied

We can offer the special wiring diagram for customers, but should replace new “help” files into KTAG.

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!
