6.1. ECU/TCU Cloning Procedure

The primary function of this tool is to clone ECU and TCU data, allowing for seamless replacement of control units. This process involves reading data from an existing ECU/TCU and writing it to a new or used one.

Figure 6.1: ECU/TCU cloning process overview.

For a detailed demonstration of the cloning process, specifically for a MED17.7.9 engine control unit, please refer to the video below. The steps generally involve:

1. Connect the X-431 ECU&TCU Programmer to your computer and the target ECU/TCU.
2. Launch the LAUNCH PC software.
3. Select the appropriate ECU model (e.g., MED17.7.9) within the software.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions for direct connection and diagram display.
5. Read the chip ID.
6. Read EEPROM data and save it.
7. Read FLASH data and save it.
8. Write the saved EEPROM data to the new/target ECU/TCU.
9. Write the saved FLASH data to the new/target ECU/TCU.
10. Disconnect the device safely.

6.2. Checksum Correction

The tool supports Checksum Check functionality, which is crucial for validating data integrity after modifying or cloning ECU/TCU data. This ensures that the control unit operates correctly and reliably.

7. หมายเหตุสำคัญและข้อจำกัด

Please be aware of the following important considerations:

Figure 7.1: Official statement from LAUNCH regarding product functionalities.

• สินค้าชิ้นนี้ ไม่สนับสนุน fault code blocking, power modifications, mileage adjustments, or VIN modifications.
• The tool is not designed for key programming; its sole purpose is to clone relevant data to the ECU or TCU.
• Anti-theft deactivation functionality is currently only supported for a subset of ECUs (MEDC17 ECUs). This feature is not the primary focus of the product.
• Always refer to the instruction manual and the ECU compatibility list before performing any operations.

8. การบำรุงรักษา

• Keep the device and its accessories clean and free from dust and moisture.
• Store the tool in its original carrying case when not in use to prevent damage.
• หลีกเลี่ยงการให้อุปกรณ์สัมผัสกับอุณหภูมิที่ร้อนจัดหรือโดนแสงแดดโดยตรง
• Regularly check cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage.
