Question :
How do I make a back up on chipfile in my ECU?
Answer :
Simple instructions for making a backup:
1. Power up the ECU, plug in your mapping lead (which must be a proper mapping lead, NOT an RS232 extension lead).
2. Open Easimap 5 programme, this should then identify your ECU and set a real-time view automatically.
3. Select ‘chipfile’ from the drop-down transfer chip data, provided your ECU is powered up ‘ECU’ will be highlighted in dark blue. The words above this in the grey section will be ‘select source device’. Hit the ENTER key, (do not use mouse keys as you can easily double click and send the information back from where you got it).
4. You will then get a screen appears again with ‘select Target device’. With the use of the up and down arrow, highlight ‘other chip file’, hit the ENTER key, you will then have a box appear as ‘save as’ and the file name will have a flashing bar. You must then enter the name you wish to give it e.g. Chris Platt 1. Then hit the SAVE button.
5. The map will then be slowly transferred from the ECU to your laptop. This may take a minute or so.
If this does not work, you would need to reinstall Easimap 5.
