Hi all,

 

I recently purchased a MPPS cable from ebay to re-map my car's ECU. All looked good until the map began writing to the ECU when suddenly I got an error in the program. Something about memory and Click OK to terminate the program. 

 

The ECU was no longer responding but was reporting a voltage. 

I tried pushing a map to it again but no joy. I think it is 'stuck' in the accepting new map state.

 

Ideally I don't want to purchase a replacement off ebay but if that is the only solution then that's what I will have to do. Any help much appreciated.

Welcome.

Sounds like someone with the correct cable will be the first person you need to get involved.

Hope it wasn't a £20 fleabay special. Much cheapness rarely results in a good outcome. Unfortunately with remaps you get what you pay for. Mine have always been 100% safe and reliable but some folk think £450-500 is too much to pay for reliability.

I think the cable is more at fault here than the map. An expensive map, well anything is only as good as its weakest part.

 

problem may not be in the cable either. The software your writing with may have a bug. 
 

do you recall anything else from the error?

 

memory error might be bad ram on your laptop. Did you laptop present any other error?

 

might be worth googling how to do a ram, memory test if it’s not working knowledge.

Hi all,

 

Thanks for the very fast replies. 

 

Colin - Thanks for the info! I am thinking it might be a compatibility issue because the program I think is intended for Windows XP but I am windows 10. 

 

I have managed to replicate the error and I am getting :

 

The instruction 0x000000000000002D referenced memory at 0x000000000000002D. The memory could not be read.

Click on OK to terminate the program.

 

Although, now with the ECU stuck do you think there is no hope for it?

 

Thanks again,

Ethan

It seems as though it is in 'Boot mode'

 

Does this mean it might be recoverable? 

I have attached the logs that MPPS printed, probably no use but thought it would be helpful
