Its the season of flat batteries and if you guys ever find a customer come in with the complaint similar to.
“Ever since I jump started my car the windows don’t work” or something electrical has stopped working.
What happens is the FRM (footwell) module corrupts the software after a low voltage scenario.
The eeprom jumps into the Dflash and we cannot communicate with the module afterwards leaving us facing the prospect of buying a new module plus programming.
There is another way to resolve the problem. We can connect to the board directly and Re-align the software which Re populates the eeprom side of the software restoring its ability to communicate and work again.
Xhorse Multi Prog detects the misaligned partitions. multiprog has a feature it will do it automatically. Vvdi prog will read and write but not fix it automatically.
You can also buy a clip for the board saves the soldering, saves loads of time.
Soldering is easy on these though.
