Hi guys,
friend of mine has Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD Q4. ECU is (according to diagnostics) Bosch EDC16C8. He had his car chiptuned few months ago and one more thing he wanted to do is to disable the EGR valve. He blinded the valve physically with piece of metal, but the ECU recognizes it (checks for low pressure) and generates a fault code followed by "Check engine light" on dashboard.
So I have read the ECU content with MPPS and searched for some solution. I've gone through many topics here on DK and decided to use CarSoftware 5.2 to disable the EGR (according to many users i did not use Volta or Ecusafe for good reason). CarSoftware is entirely in Italian language, but is pretty straightforward. Only thing I'm not quite sure about is the option "Eliminazione valvola" and "Eliminazione totale valvola". What's the difference between them?
I compared the resulting files with the original one and found out, that the first option edits following memory addresses:
3DCAh-3DF9h
3E30h-3E5Fh
3E96h-3EC5h
3EFCh-3F2Bh
The second method ("Eliminazione totale valvola") edits these memory addresses:
23B4h-250Fh
25F8h-2753h
2838h-2993h
So, my question is: Which one of these two options should I use?
And second one: I do not understand the checksum calculation. Is it calculated during writing by MPPS software? Or is it calculated by CarSoftware? Or do I need to calculate it with some other program like WinOLS?
Maybe these questions are dumb, but I'm quite newbie, so proceed with me patiently, please.
Thanks for any advice.
PS: All files are packed with Winrar, original size of each is 1 MB. And feel free to use the original "chiptuned" file, if you want to.
