Hello Friends,
Good News Today:
ENGINE CRANKS with V8 ECU
Yes it's true, I cannot believe it myself.
After several attempts and trials, I finally managed to run the ECU on my car. This is not the original ECU is the one I had with the V8 engine and was originally on a CL 55 AMG.
Now the ECU is programmed to operate an engine with V8 Kompressor and is married to my car, DAS (Drive Authorization System) is active. It contains program taken from SL 55 AMG Kompressor and run with my VIN number of my car.
I had to program the electronics several times for it to work, now I know how. First it does not crank, that means that the immobilizer is active.
I'm not sure I can share the details in public immediately.
All I can say is that I have modified binaries of the FLASH and EPROM to the ECU and I then initialized and enabled it using the system Xentury DAS Mercedes-Benz.
It does not start for the moment but just Crank, because I have to adapt a 6 pin plug from engine wiring harness to the Front SAM (Signal acquisition Module), I just plugged wires that manage Starter and injectors, today I will finish pluging Coil Plugs, and secondary Fan and START.
Wires are not colored same as initial V6 engine harness, plug is not same shape, I must check the two electrical diagram of V6 and V8 to find matches.
With Regards.
Karim.
