Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

We tried to flash the ECU with 3.8s third party software and the ECU is now giving us a message of "FLASH MODE" if you use the PIWIS tool in the DME Vehicle Identification section.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Hi After completion of the 3.8s engine installation the car was running without any fault codes or lights on. We tried to flash the ECU with 3.8s third party software and the ECU is now giving us a message of "FLASH MODE" if you use the PIWIS tool in the DME Vehicle Identification section. We also tried to reprogram the ECU with the correct codes for my car but it does not accept this. Can this ECU be fixed again or should I buy a new one? Any assistance and help will be appreciated as my car is standing at the moment and it il take two weeks to get a new ECU from Germany. Cheer Herman

I'm sure you've tried this... but how about disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it after some time? Same error? - Suneet
