Coding, what not to forget?

[SlickGT1]

I get
Error in CABD! Look at CABI.ERR and ERROR.LOG

COAPI-2020: no answer from ECU
IFH-0009: NO RESPONSE FROM CONTROLUNIT

On the NCS screen it stops on,

Get coded
EWS
Coding is faulty
Jobname = codierdaten_lesen
Ews.c81.a_ews.ipo.c_ews3.prg

This is only when I chose ews to read the vin. If I choose komb, or kombi to read vin, I can process the ecu for gm3 no problem. But it is clearly the wrong path because the Trc file is 5kb and does not have any of the options I need.

Even when I get the error above, it still writes a proper Trc file. I am just not sure if it's safe to proceed coding the edited man file.

Yes I can use inpa no problem. I read all codes. I get an occupancy mat error all the time. That was present. Inpa works. NCS works for everything else but not to process ecu when vin is read from ews. Strange, I know. I'm really at a loss right now.

I also took apart the head, and I have the green board, and pins 8-7 are bridged.

I am using and ads cable since I have one under the hood but I checked the usb/obd and 7-8 are bridged. It might not be the cable. Did you try a different profile? Just a thought...

LEUCHTWEITENREG_AUTOM is set to not active in my file and I also checked Trminators' file and it's the same. Is this setting for auto leveling headlifghts? Wasn't this supposed to be active by default?

I think mine was doing this too.

try switching to expertmode and trying again.

Post the .trc file or email to me, I can tell you if its the right one or not.

LEUCHTWEITENREG_AUTOM :Automatic light length

dont touch.

you probably want this:

LWR_VORZEICHEN :Headlight leveling control

but it would be in the LSZ I think...

Thanks J. I'll send you the file shortly. I have to go downstairs for it.

So if I do expert mode, will I be able to upload the coded man file with it, or do I upload with Revtors.

[jgold47]

you have to switch back to revtor or fisters profile to write the manipulations back to the unit.

Its the second error you sent me thats the bigger issue....

I know. I keep searching that no response from control unit error, and all my search points to bad cable. Ignition on, I can hear the water pump running in garage, and car on trickle charger. I don't know what else to do. Oh it reads and writes all the files in the damn work folder, then stops at that error.
