160DOWQ CHIP

[sagie1zn]

hi guys, have a chev utillity van with 160dowq chip. removed chip and tried erasing first 4 lines and it keeps failing. after a few attempts of erasing, first 4 lines reads most 00 and few ff. When i try erase each ff, it remains ff. I did fit another chip and everything works but i dont trust these replacement chips. i would prefer to fit the original chip but it failing to erase. Last time i used this smelecom chip, everything worked but van refused to start after an hour of driving. fitted original chip after successfully erasing and all was good.

Qestion:
1. if i continue trying to erase to 00 and it reads FF on certain sectors, does it mean fit replacement chip.

also strange thing is after trying to erase first 4 lines, it reads 134635km instead of 999995 or 0 as it normally does after erasing.
comments guys. im using enigmatool

hi Jomberykaso, thanks as usual for helping. My problem is i cannot erase certain sector on the chip itself and therefore will not be able to write your file on the original chip. your file most probably will work, but how do i erase. i just used another chip and all works but like i said, i would prefer to erase the original chip and write your file. Or am i wasting my time

[jomberykaso]

dont waste your time...use new eeprom

[brend]

Try littely hot ori eep for rewrite and use for this hot air station.
Sametimes it's help!.......

[sagie1zn]

tried that already, still erase with errors.

i had issues with this type eeprom before, but after erasing first 4 lines (normally) , km always changes 100%. First time i failed to erase this type eeprom. v6/vp if i fail to erase, i just replace eeprom, but this is first time problem with 160dowq. First time for everything i suppose

[junmab]

Can someone recomend of a good supplier for these 160DOWQ chips ?

[mio1706]

First and second lines when is new eeprom is 00 00 00 00... and another is FF FF FF
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
......etc
why you trying to delete FF?

another problem and im not sure if its the mileage change or some wiring fault because van was in front accident damage. when i switch ignition on, all lights come on, but the speedo, rev and fuel gauge needle take 11 seconds before they activate. So basically the needles/pointers only work after 11 seconds from ign on, but everything works

edit: also noticed that when i switch ign on, it does a needle sweep after the 11 seconds similarly to when you plug the dash back after mileage correction. another thing that makes me think that this van came with this problem is the aircon compressor also kicks in at the exact same time as when the needles start to move. this happens after every ignition start. it also has an aftermarket immo that is still connected but bypassed

[brend]

Fault code in cluster?
Have tahograf?

[sagie1zn]

no dtc, no tacho. car starts everytime so it cannot be immo

[brend]

And if put ori 160DOWQ chip back,same trable?


no dtc, no tacho. car starts everytime so it cannot be immo

[sagie1zn]

tried erasing ori eeprom yesterday, so ori eeprom have problem. Maybe only option to identify problem is to plug another cluster to see if needle starts to sweep after 11 seconds or works immediately. Van wont start with another cluster but should help problem solving

[brend]

This chip type like 160DOWQ have 2 data, eep dump and eep id code too ,because I ask .....679205
Maybe that's is problem,incorrect id,but Im not have experience with this car if put new eep without id code.

i have another spare cluster with no chip which i used some time back. i will attach the original chip even though its corrupted and see what happens. will report back shorly

[sagie1zn]

i plugged spare cluster with original corrupted chip and all works as it supposed to with needle activating immediately. because its original chip, van also starts. So Mr Brend could be correct about eeprom id. So how to solve

[brend]

Not simpel sulution for solve this trable.....679224
For this need read ori id from corrupted eep and write to new 160DOWQ .
For this you can use vvdi+eep for this tool ,emulator with ori eep or yanhua programmer with emul eep.

Im not so sure original eeprom is corrupted, its just that certain sectors cannot be erased. After numerous attempts to erase, i failed, but eeprom data was changed from attempting to erase. i put original chip back into original cluster and mileage reads 4075km (original km was 259540). I drive few km and mileage is changing 100%. But needles still take few minutes to activate after ignition on. i try to change again and it still reads 4075km. Also airbag light goes off with ori cluster

Fit my chip into spare cluster and mileage good, needles activate immediately but airbag light on. Customer did say that someone made his airbag light go off but not sure what they did. i have many diag tools but none seem to read airbag module. (airbag module is in its place). So with my spare cluster needles activate immediately and with original, needles take 11 seconds. Did this cluster come with this fault or happened after mileage correction:crushed:

conclusion: fitted my cluster with my chip and all good, except airbag light which some moron put a piece of paper so oil light can deflect into airbag light column and switch off as if airbag is working. So possibility is that after installing ori chip, somehow processor got :stupid: and therefore takes 11 seconds to activate. Used cluster working good so maybe no id. thanks for assist guys

[sagie1zn]

can anyone confirm the immo pin from the original dump in the first post. Just need to see where is located in the file for future reference

[jomberykaso]

Original mileage : 259544 kms
Vin : ADMCF80MJD4621063
Pin: 4153

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jomberykaso again.
