OFT - Two issues (possibility related)

G'day Guys,

I received my OFT this week and have hit a wall quite quickly.

Quick run down on car - Auto GT 86 2013

Plugged in the car and went through through the process of ''learning'' the current ecu - During that process I received an error message, which to-date I cant get past - The error message is something along the lines of Cannot load or Find Module - Tune file not available"

Then when I run the software manager, I get to the point it wants to update and I receive an error message saying "the process cannot access the file '.\\updater.exe' because it is being used by another process

Sorry for noob questions, but not sure how to tackle the each step.

The OFT shows my vin, but nothing else, no tune loaded etc

The first issue is reading your stock rom. Check the obd2 connection is secure. Did you buy new or used tablet?

The second issue is OFM won't update itself for the past 3 versions or so. You'll have to download OFM 1.15 and install manually.

+1 on what @wayno said

G'day Wayno - Brand spanker from the US tho there wasnt a protective screen on the unit which made me think it might have been used before?
Purchased direct from US via OFT webpage
Connection was secure I am pretty sure as it went through the steps (ie - Switch on ignition etc)

I am slightly worried about the stock rom, since trying the OFT I have the check engine light and my car doesnt do the autoblip in manual mode.. (again might be a side issue)

Will investigate the newer software right now!

Cheers guys

ARRRRH do you have an existing ECUTEK tune.

Ecuteck tunes are locked and will not allow other devices to read.

You need to load a stock rom back to your car , or at least the ecutek stock rom back to car before oft can read your rom.

you may also loose your ecutek licience as its embedded in "stock rom.

although the OFT will write back your stock rom which will have ecutek licience info in it.

if you don't have ecutek tune ignore above.

the oft will clear / read the cel code although its probably just a can buss transmission code cause when you plugged in oft.

just use oft to clear cel codes all should be ok.

just select toyots zn6 first.

Thankfully nothing added, its a stock other than powerblocks installed and battery disconnect recently.

Had success with the manager software now, reading as follows (pic)

When you get the opdated ofm going plug in oft and see if its loaded your stock tune in the proected slot

go to the "upload data" sction in ofm with oft plugged in. it should say original file/tune "present" if its sucessfully read your stock tune.

The error your getting may be due to no preloaded tunes for your car,

you may have to manually load tune files from the oft site.

not trying to be a "****" but make sure you have ignittion fully on ie all dash lights on (do not start car). Ignition must be fully on (engine off) before oft can read/write a tune.

diagnostics should allow you read ecu info including stock calid of ROM something like ZA1JA01I for an auto if your not either ZA1ZA00I or ZA1JA01I you will have to send your stock rom to the oft guys so they can generate a tune for you

once you get uel headers fitted use the

A01I Stage 2 UEL header tune on petrol


or with E85 fuel only Stage 2 UEL E85.



the mods for crawford BPB don't seem to work well on out crappy 98 ron fuels (BP and shell seem to be best) BP probably the pick)

Talk to @Wayno he has an auto and Craford block and has done a lot of work on getting a BPB tune working.

I sold mine. You really need a custom tune with those blocks, or pull a lot of timing so it doesn't knock which i posted in the block specific thread.
