ULF failed during programming

335dlci · 06-20-2016, 11:51 AM

As it states, I was trying to code LCI headlights and tail lights in. Unfortunately my laptop died during programming of the MULF control unit. I tried pretty much everything such as bypassing the MOST ring around the control unit. Even coding it out of the car BO. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks

Is the ECU dead? No response from DME or what module? Sometimes you can force flash it by pushing the radio buttons right before flashing the module to wake it

With rhein, it shows up as responding. If i attempt to program it, it will jus have the hourglass by it for a couple hours. I was unable to code the rest of the car also due to the ULF failing. Right now there is a Christmas tree of lights on due to lack of coding in various control units.

Try to flash to stock? I'm not too familiar with Rhein but Winkfp or NCS expert is a lot quicker ..pretty sure they should have it for your model.

Yes, it required updating with rhein because it was out of date. I was just trying to code LCI lights in but wanted to update the whole car. And it died during the ULF. Do you think it would be possible to revive it with NCS or WIN

yea, try winkfp, if it fails nfs

You can find them fairly easily and follow the DIY.

Do i have to use an icom to program the MULF?

If it is on the MOST gateway then yes but if it's on can gateways then you can use a OBD Kdcan cable.

Is there a way to setup the icom for use with winkfp and ista/p?

MR.BLUECOLLARMAN · 06-21-2016, 09:11 AM

Honestly not even sure. I used only OBD port with Winkfp and NCS and then used a icom emulator with my BMW program to reprogram all the modules in my car

Look it up on the DIYs I think you might be able to buy you will have to change the preferences in the "ini" files
