Trying to do a alpine tcu flash, fucked up my ecu..

Fabb · 07-07-2016, 08:39 PM

Yesterday I got my BMW standard tool setup ready and tried to perform a TCU flash.

As dumb as it sounds, I turned off my ignition in the middle of programming. Immediately I got a error message saying ecu not responding. While panicking of bricking my ecu, I tried to flash again and it succeed.

The car now has gear indicator and stuff just as desired. But the problem is that when I try to code again and communicate using NCS Expert, I got a error message saying Error_ecu_incorrect_responding.. And of course I can't flash back to stock transmission and perform any coding stuff.

Does anyone had this kind of experience before?? I am really afraid that I bricked my ecu bc of me being idiotic

There's no abnormal behavior of the car except the paddle's not working as I was expecting after performing a flash. And I tried to use INPA to check airbag it still gave me the error message but it can still read status and info.

Were you able to get your paddles to work with this flash?

Ya, just program something in NCS expert. Takes 3 minutes.
