MPPS V12
Long story made short
My friend asked if i can add some oomph to his VW TDI, so went to ebay bought
MPPS chinese clone and got the file. I was ready to flash it, but forgot to
checksum it. The end result... well you know the end result. If you read this then
probably got similar problems and want to use MPPS to write the original file back
in bootmode. Read on and maybe my experiance with this particular problem will
help you to solve yours.
I have searched for a solution to fix bad flashing/write disaster or error, or bricked EDC15 or
whatever you call it, and got to the point where i found many info regarding how to enter
bootmode, desoldering and programming with willem programmer, and found many pictures,
wiring and so on.
But aparently none of them described how to do this exatcly, i mean how to write with mpps in
bootmode. Everyone was saying that is simple, jus write in bootmode, MPPS can recover
almost any EDC15 ECU, Ive done many times an so on.
I found this very hard to do, and while searching decided that if i succeed to recover i will do a
simple instructions how to do it without asking too many dumb questions.
P.S. I do not own the pictures, they are the property of their respective owners, I dont know
who are they just found them on the mighty GOOGLE.
You do this on your own, and i cant be responsible for mistakes you make!
1. Remove the ECU. Warm it a little bit up, there is a sealnt which holds the housing halves pretty
strong, so after warming will be easier to open it. Dont heat it too much, just to be hand warm.
Here is the picture, this is what you will probably see inside the ECU case.
2. 29F400 Location and bootmode pin 24. For now you have to solder a wire to the pin. To the
other end of the wire conncet 5k resistor. Thats it for now. Here are the picture of the chip, and
the pin to be used.
3. Prepare all the connections to the ecu and MPPS cable as shown on the picture below.
1. Pin16 = +12v
2. Pins 4&5 = Ground
3. Pin 7 = K Line
4. When all done and checked twice, connect your MPPS cable to PC, open software and
locate the BOOTMODE wirte function. This was tricky for me, but finally i got to this point
and after that everything was a peace of cake. Before connectin the +12v power supply to
the proper cable as you have seen in the pictures above. And before connecting the
negative wire be sure to ground the bootmode pin 24 thru a 5k resistor, and remove it after
aprox 15 seconds, but do not disconnect the ecu and MPPS power connections.
5. Navigate to where you choose brand and choose not VW or Audi etc. but choose GENERIC. I
found this Hardly noticable, and found only after a hint in the internet after 16 hours of
searching.
After that choose your ECU as stated in the List that opens after ou choose GENERIC
6. Click Checksum Open the file that you want to checksum, the open the file that you have
read from your car before making any mods. Above the progress bar you will see something
written in GREEN color, and youre good to go. Then click Write, choose the file to write and
wait fo a while for the progress bar to reach 100% and you are done, and as happy as i was
that i have saved some $$ on buying programmers, or used ECUs, or sending to a tunner for
a fix.
The most important thing: If you did not undertant a thing what i am talking about or have any
questions, just ask in the forum where you have downloaded this file, the community will help as
much as they can to solve your problems.
