Few Q's getting started

[BIGALSRYD]

RAM was installed while the ecu was removed from the car. Can get the check engine light to go out by removing the RAM, and re-installing the memcal.

have you put your nvram back into a programmer to make sure the base bin hasnt been erased?

[BIGALSRYD]

Not yet. Don't have one at this stage. But looks like we will be needing one

[vn5000]

If you put std memcal back in the flash tool should connect if youve installed comms board properly.

[vn5000]

Did you connect the write wire before inserting nvram?

If you put std memcal back in the flash tool should connect if youve installed comms board properly.

I dont think it will as a standard VN tune does not know about the high speed serial and has no code to support it.

[vn5000]

Yeah thanks antus , i forgot he was using vn memcal .

[BIGALSRYD]

ah so the problem is more then likely stemming from what is on or not on the nv ram. is there a way to find out or i need a chip reader / burner? i have a memcal from a vt computer. Am i ablee to plug that into the 808 to at least see if i can connect

[vn5000]

Unless youve got a std vr man memcal to check the comms board , i think youll have to bite the bullet and get a burner to check the nvram has not been corrupted ,did you connect the write pin before you installed the nvram,because if you didnt it will definitely be corrupted.

[VL400]

Yep, if you have CEL and A/C fan on would most likely mean its corrupt or not installed correctly. It was loaded with 12P V110 and was bench tested prior to sending along with the R/W jumper removed. Prob going to need to get a burner to re-program (or send it back and I can) and check the R/W wire. If its in the wrong spot will almost certainly have corrupted the NVRAM.

Also, you can have the R/W jumper installed on the NVRAM board but no write enable wire soldered and it will not corrupt the NVRAM - it will just be in read-only mode but will cause no issues.
