JETURBO ...JD TUNING ADELAIDE... Gold Donating Members 23,708 Member For: 16y 7m 7d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 05/12/17 09:58 AM Share Posted 05/12/17 09:58 AM HPT can flash over SCT “sometimes” 99% of X4 tunes will not be read by HPT so you’ll be stuck reading then writing I always IDS a ECU that has a X device that’s gone missing as it can cause some checksum issues and then I also know I’ve got the latest base for that strategy ready to tune ANY GOOD workshop that knows the turbo falcon platform will know this and most have the ford IDS or direct access to it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bricks were had Fwiw someone was writing a tune one day in the middle of nowhere on a 35 degree day where there was no phone coverage and kicked the cable out :S Wouldn't load the tune - needed to flash back to stock Wouldn't flash to stock (requires the TCM flash, which fails if too hot) Fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Trust me bro... Gold Donating Members 16,035 Member For: 9y 11m 9d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 05/12/17 10:26 AM Share Posted 05/12/17 10:26 AM Yeah I knew about the checksum thing as it had been discussed before but I don't remember the exact details cos it was a while back. I think rolls was saying that you could compare the files in hxd or similar to find the error and cut and paste the code to fix it. That's why I left my first recommendation and then tagged jet cos I knew he'd give a good explanation without getting too complicated. 22 minutes ago, Rab said: Fwiw someone was writing a tune one day in the middle of nowhere on a 35 degree day where there was no phone coverage and kicked the cable out :S Wouldn't load the tune - needed to flash back to stock Wouldn't flash to stock (requires the TCM flash, which fails if too hot) Fun Haha I saw you did that Rab.
