Hi, new to the forum so please go easy on me if I'm missing the obvious. I'm working my way through the support notes for type 1 board install and consult issues and can't find the files suggested to test communication outside of the Nistune package.
In case I'm barking up the wrong tree I'll try to describe the issue and the way it started.
1) 1988 CA18ET engine, ECU Code 23710-33F11, Nistune Base Board ROM 33F01
2) Install carried out by authorised outlet / dealer here in the u.k
3) Originally I could connect o.k. and was able to save an image of the ROM file in the ECU (Backup)
4) few issues with the tune meant a trip to a more local rolling road for adjustment
5) Every time I booked the car in and got to the tuners the Consult connection would fail even though it was fine at home.
( I came to the conclusion after reading the forum that the Ciggy lighter / laptop psu adapter I bought specially for the tuner was the cause)
6) Now even when I use the laptop with battery only the consult will not connect at all
7) Car starts and runs fine (with a few tuning issues) and I've worked through the suggestions in the guide until the DLPtest page
Have tried two different laptops WinXP Pro SP3 and Windows 7. I'm a bit confused about the "limp home mode", the ECU is flashing a sequence and the fuel pump is on all the time the ignition is on but am I right in thinking the consult port on the newer cars doesn't work under "limp mode" conditions and my USB connection the the ECU should still be fine? Nistune board is listed in device manager on both Laptops and Drivers installed o.k.
Not always the same fault message but "checksum invalid, check ECU image not corrupt, check address file" or "No data received, check board, CPU, image file" etc
Ferrite cores arrived today and shorter USB cable so I'll try them on my next day off but I'd welcome any guidance or advice? Or even better a slap with a fish and an easy solution would be great!
