Maybe there are something you cannot deal with by yourself as a car repair staff, just like today's topic about how to read and write by Ktag 7.020 ecu programmer. Here, you come to the right place, we have much more experience for more than ten years. Today, i will introduce to you the solutions about how to use ktag 7.020 ECU programming for read and write.
Ktag 7.020 Red PCB Backup, Restore, Read and Write:
Select the proper Family, then:
1. Click on help for the see the connection instructions.
2. Connect to the ECU following the connection instructions provided in the Operating Manual
3. Once back to the previous window. Click on OK to display the programming menu
It is important to keep the Operating Manuals updated: periodically check for updates,
particularly after each release of the K-Suite software
Programming menu items
1. Information about the Family in use
2. Backup – To make a full backup of the ECU data. In addition to the whole file, you can also save a file for each component on the ECU and/or the file containing the maps for engine managements.
3. MICRO/EXTFLASH/EEPROM – Components on the ECU. To read/write a single component, remove the check mark from the Backup/Restore box and select the component. It is possible to read/write only the components in green. For more clarity, the words “Maps” in parentheses is indicated next to the component containing the maps.
4. Restore – To restore the backup file on the ECU.
5. Patch – To enable the serial programming via OBDII connector on some ECUs (only available for some plug-ins Tricore).
6. Status bar – Percentage of progress of the read / write procedure.
7. Status window – To display messages about the ongoing operations.
8. ID – To display information about the identification of the ECU.
9. Maps – In some cases, if allowed by the protocol, you can see a white check box labeled “Maps”. This box allows you to save a special file which must be used if you wish to modify the vehicle performance, on pain of improper operation of the vehicle and a possible failure and block of the ECU.
Note: It is possible to perform reading / writing operations even if your computer does not have an
active Internet connection..
In case of problems or if communication with the ECU is not carried out successfully, before
contacting the Technical Support Service refer to the section Troubleshooting
