Is there a way to read the factory bin file from an eecv pcm with tuner pro? Or is there a different software that will accomplish this? Thanks.

Missed that part. Sorry about that. I tried reading it with a quarterhorse but did not get anything that seemed usable. I read somewhere about having to put a couple resistors on the board to get it to read properly. Will this be the case for data logging and tuning with the quarterhorse as well? It is an EQE3 pcm from a 2000 explorer. But has been reman’d and has FLN0 software on it right now I believe. Hardware is ML2-8A1A

did you have the key on ?

nah your info you read is wrong. Some 99/00 ecus had the j3 port disabled and youd have to use a jumper but never any resistors.

nah that ecu isnt going to be any problem reading

Yes. Key was on. I also tried the burn 1 with adapters to try and read it and it read the file but when I pull it up in tunerpro all of the data is zero’s. It doesn’t have the pads that some of the other ECU’s have that you just jumper. I looked for those. I used your reac4 strategy file when I opened the bin file. I can read the pcm fine with my Deltaforce interface. But that software is horrible.

When I opened the file in a hex editor everything is 0’s.

did you have the memory range specified as the write up shows for a 4 bank ?

Yes. 000000 start and 03ffff end. Had j3 eec v reader selected and save buffer to file. Tried with flash and burn with burn 1+f2a+f2e and also set everything up like the write up for tunerpro and tried reading with the quarterhorse. Had you reac4.xdf file loaded. Same result. All zeros. Also tried with quarterhorse through flash and burn. The read with flash and burn and burn 1 resulted in a 256k file size. Quarterhorse one is only 32k for some reason so I suspect something went wrong there. Lol

Also wanted to ask if you have use for some files that I have from smelta smorce tuning. They are tmpl, trm, and pcm files. I’m sure they are encrypted but they are so old that I’m sure it isn’t a deep encryption. I can try and post one or two up or email some to you if you want to take a look?

Nah no need I can't do anything with them and they honestly wouldn't have anything useful regardless.
