EcuTek cable 13 BRZ

[brownwv]

Club, just purchased a 13 BRZ with a supercharger and EcuTeck tuned on E85. Any way I can tap into the ECU with an different cable or something cheaper? I just want to see what the previous owner/tune shop did?

Thoughts?

Short answer NO


Long answer Most likely NO, but maybe


Ecutek like Brzedit changes the standard ecu access seed/key sequence so it can only be written to by ecutek or brzedit.


Both Ecutek & Brz edit don't have a ecu "read" function that produces a readable rom anyway.


This is to protect tuners work.


If and this is highly unlikely the original tuner wrote and ecutek tuned rom to ECU WITHOUT ecutek racerom features added then the seed/key will be standard and you could read it with a tactrix cable. Its the addition of racerom features that causes the seed/key change.


Even if you had the original file sent by tuner it will only have flash access with your ecutek kit, unless the tuner sends you an unlocked ecutek tune, highly unlikely.




The only thing you can do is log the ecu/tune and see the afr cam timing, ignition timing etc used at different rpm/loads. but you wont be able to see the actual tables. or anything like that in the actual ecu.
