Has anyone been successful at pulling the ECU code from these newer cars? I'm experiencing the same trouble as the BRZ post.

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8475&start=15

Code:
VIN : JF2S......
CVN : CF05D1D5
SSM2 init
interface close
interface close


It seems like ECUflash connects to the ECU, reads the VIN and CVN, but the init process triggers the ECU to drop the connection.

Adding some information. I was able to read the ECU code. Do any of the already defined .xml files inherit for this code?

This information from Steve99 helped:
Quote:
When reading or writing a ROM, Ignition must be fully on (do not start car). When you click read/write in EcuFlash a dialog box will appear, Wait 15 seconds before you click ok.

A read should be pretty quick less than 1 minute use "save as" and save it a bin file if you want to use RomRaider to edit.

A Write will be longer just over a minute.

Before EcuFlash write's a ROM it will ERASE your current ROM, then WRITE will take place. Action will be logged on screen.
Don't disturb connection during read or write & don't mess with switches in your car eg lights ect.
Make sure your car battery is good turn off all accessories radio fax Air conditioner ect
Ensure laptop battery is charged and no power saving modes active on laptop ie turn off HDD or screen ect.

You can READ a ROM without a Definition, but you won’t be able to WRITE or EDIT it without a definition.

I saved the 32BITBASE.xml from here https://github.com/TD-D/SubaruDefs/tree ... tric/Bases
To C:\Program Files (x86)/OpenECU/EcuFlash/rommetadata/subaru/Bases/

ECUflash did give an error when saving as a .bin, but seemed happy saving the .srf file. I hope it saved them correctly.

Wondering if anyone has had a chance to look at this. I'm not in a hurry, but looking forward to getting this ECU cracked.

I would really like to get the Tactrix 2.0 stand alone logging working, if that is any easier.

Thanks!

In case anyone else was looking for the stand alone logging on the newer Subarus, this answered my primary question. Here is td-d's comment from another post:

Quote:
Since this is based off the SH72531 ecus, you will only be able to use RR logger with ODB parameters, or direct SD logging.
