    This document provides instructions for reading the full flash from an MS43 ECU using Galetto software and an interface. It involves removing the ECU from the vehicle, opening the case, connecting it to the computer interface, and grounding a specific pin to force the ECU into boot mode while turning the ignition on, allowing the full 512kb flash file to be read within 90-100 seconds and saved. Proper precautions are described to avoid shorts and damage.

    How to read full flash from MS43?

    Here´s a short instruction on how to read the full flash


    (29F400) of your MS43 equipped BMW (E46, E36/7, E53,
    E39…)

    What do you need:


    - MS43 (obviously!)
    - Star screwdriver TR15
    - Allen wrench (5mm)
    - Galetto software and interface
    - Computer/notebook
    - Jumper wire to ground a pin
    - Second person

    First of, make shure your ignition is fully switched of for at


    least 3minutes! Now open the bonnet of your car and
    unmount the black cover which seals the ecu, you´ll probably
    need the Allen wrench to do so. Next step, disconnect all
    plugs from the ecu. Take the ecu out by gently pulling it
    upwards.
    Open the ecu cover by using the star screwdriver. Make shure
    to not touch any electrical contacts, if possible use some thin
    gloves, to avoid electrical discharge.
    When placing the circuit board to connect the ground pin,
    make shure there is no conductive parts around to avoid
    shorts! Use a towel or something else nonconductive to place
    the circuit board on.
    When having the circuit board in place, connect the plugs to
    the circuit board. You can connect all plugs, but only
    connector X60001 is necessary. It’s the 9pin plug farest away
    from the windshield.

    Start your computer, connect your Galetto interface


    (installation procedure already done!) and use the different
    settings shown in the following pictures.
    After you have properly chosen the correct Make and Driver,
    click on “Read ECU”. The following window will open.

    Use a proper name to make identifying of your file easier. You


    don´t need to select file type, if you like choose “*.bin” and
    hit “save”. The following prompt will occur, telling you what´s
    needed to further read the full flash.
    Differing from that prompt, we don´t need to remove fuse
    #11!
    Do not click ok right now; let the program wait until we
    forced the ecu into bootmode.
    For forcing the ecu into bootmode, it´s handy to have a
    second person helping you.
    You need to ground either “pin24” at the 29F400 flash or
    “pin104” at the SAK-C167CR-LM processor. Choose the one
    which best suits your needs. I personally use the round
    connection shown in the next picture.
    Now, which pin ever you did chose, ground that pin to
    a proper ground and while still grounding that pin,
    switch on ignition to position 2 (radio is active,
    dashboard is fully active…).
    Ground that pin for at least 3 seconds after switching
    ignition on and release the ground afterwards.

    !!Make absolutely shure to not touch anything else on


    the circuit board to prevent damage!!!

    Congratulations, your ecu will now be in bootmode 


    Now it´s time to click ok in the Galetto software. It will
    start to read out the full flash, which will take several
    seconds.
    After around 90-100 seconds, the full flash file will be
    read and stored under the name and folder you had
    chosen earlier. The file size will be 512kb, which can
    then be further tweaked by special software.
    If you get that message in the upper screenshot, you
    have successfully read the ecu´s flash without the need
    to unsolder the flash.

    Now it´s time to switch off the ignition and let the ecu
    do all its magic. Wait for at least 3 minutes to unplug
    the connectors and reassemble the cover. Mount the
    ecu back into its housing and screw the black cover
    back in place. Use OBD scanning software to check if
    any faults occurred and delete them if necessary.

    Troubleshooting:
    - If you get a message telling you the ecu is not in
    bootmode, make shure your ground is proper
    chosen and you´re touching the correct pin on the
    circuit board.
