Unable to re-flash car to stock with any tuning file.

Hello everyone,

I am putting my car back to original state, but I am having some difficulties flashing my car back to its original mapping.

Over the years, I have flashed my car to the stage 1 and stage 2+ mappings with my OFT v2 tablet. Currently the car is still on an altered stage 2+ mapping. Someone from our local GT86 community sent me this mapping, and as far as I know it is a stage 2+ mapping with some altered values.

I am running the latest OFT software on both PC and the tablet itself.

When I attempt to flash my car, the OFT will read "ERROR: Cannot communicate with ECU, please try again." It is unable to flash any of the tuning files.

I have checked the connection, and the pins of the cable. The OFT does seem to read my car as its showing me for example the battery voltage. I have also tried to disconnect the battery for half an hour, but to no avail. Likewise I have also tried to do it while the battery was connected to a charger, to ensure it is fully charged.

I will attach a screenshot of all of my tuning files.

Do you guys have any idea what might be going on? And how much of an issue is it to run my car with this mapping while on the original header and exhaust parts?

Thanks in advance, I really hope I can fix this issue as I am afraid to run my car at all right now.

Greetings!

Thanks for responding!

Could you clarify what you mean by dtc? I do not know what that means.

Is this the MAF voltage in the realtime logging screen?

When I press on ECU Fault Codes, it reads "No ECU fault codes found."
