06 3.0R JDM - Issues saving the ECU Image

[Wombat]

Hi all.

I am trying to use the ecuflash app and the tactrix cable to save what i assume is a factory ecu image but i get an error when it tries to save it.

 

The download stops with an error right after sending the key.

[17:37:19.952] SSM2 init

[17:37:20.096] SSM2 ECU ID is 450A364006

[17:37:20.180] Requesting Seed...

[17:37:20.223] Sending Key [1]...

[17:37:20.868] interface close

[17:37:20.868] interface close

 

I have seen mention that this may mean the ECU is locked, how would i see if this is the case?

 

Any trouble shooting tips welcome as well.

I have connected the green test mode plugs, mine seem to be in the drivers side A pillar foot well and were already connected from when i bought the car until i checked them this week.

 

Thanks

cant really help much but isn't the Drivers side footwell the New Key fob "teachers" set?

 

[EDIT} A Pillar behind Kick Panel

[Wombat]

Possible, I have two plugs there, a green one like the test mode and one that is white. 
I will drop the panel under the dash and have a look. 
thanks

Is it pre or post facelift? You shouldn’t have to connect those plugs for facelift. What vehicle type have you used? Subarucan?

The green test mode / flash connector will be on the left side footwell 'JDM Passenger footwell.' When connected and you turn the ignition on, you will hear the fans and solenoid cycling. This is how you know you have the correct plugs connected. Also, be mindful of your battery voltage. It may close the interface if the voltage is below 12v. Ensure that lights, etc., are off, and sometimes, it pays to connect a battery charger."

oh & sorry I meant behind the Kick Panel set : these are the Key Fob teacher set, yeah on older models they are white & green though didn't think ODBII stuff still had them?

 

I havnt seen under a Legacy Dash is about 10 years now sorry for meddling 😎

All good, no apology needed. Will check the suggestions today and let you know how it goes. 
kinda makes sense that there might be two sets of plugs if you make the harness for multiple markets.

OK, so i needed to have both sets of green plugs connected.

The set in the drivers A Pillar and the set in the passenger foot well that were tucked in under the ecu bracket under the carpet.

 

I downloaded the image and had to make my own def file in rom raider to be able to read it.

 

Thanks for the pointers on where the plugs are.
