Dale385 Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I have been trying to connect and update the firmware to my monsoon x all day today and pc link 9 times out of 10 will (not respond) or will have one of many errors trying to update the firmware. I have re installed pc link multiple times, re started my pc many times, checked the drivers etc multiple times and just cant catch a break. Seriously wishing I went with Haltech right now. Anyone have any ideas, I have been on google all day and tried almost everything that has come up and no luck at all. Ps the ecu is virgin.

Adamw Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Most commonly a failed firmware update means the main power supply missing (pin 5). Instead the ecu only gets powered up via a low current backfeed through an aux, as soon as anything processor intensive is asked it will brown out and disconnect. I would suggest removing the ecu from the car and power it up on the bench, just 12V on pin 5 and gnd on pin 34. If it updates fine then you need to look at the power supply.

Dale385 Posted May 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Have sorted the power issue, was on a relay that wasnt working correctly. Still cant get it to update the firmware - keeps saying it was interrupted or link not responding correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Are you getting that error when doing the firmware update on the bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale385 Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Sorted in the car thanks. Now just trying to get an unlock code. I have a plcr file I downloaded from here for my SR16 VVL that someone put on but pc link will only see plc files, what do I need to do here?

Adamw Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 A .pclr file is a map from an older G4+ ecu, you cant load a G4+ map into a G4X as they are too different. The best you can do is open the G4+ and G4X software up side by side and work or way down the settings tree manually copying the settings across. You can copy any tables across using the import/export tool, but most other stuff needs to be done manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
