Failed to Read and Write VW Polo 6R DCM3.7 ECU on Bench Solution

Problem:

It’s a VW Polo 6R with Delphi DCM3.7 engine control unit ECU. No programmer seems to be able to read this ECU via pinouts (bench). Foxflash, KESS etc should read this ECU via OBD, but the ECU was removed from car. So tried to read ecu using theGodiag GT100 breakout boxvia OBD on bench. But FOXFLASH didn’t read the flash. Then tried to read this ECU with Scanmatic + pcmflash. Have managed to read it using the Godiag ECU box but cannot write it any further. There’s no problem reading, but writing is still impossible.

OBDSTAR DC706doesn’t support this ECU, andXHorse MultiPROGdoesn’t support this ECU for the VW Polo either. both devices support the same DCM3.7 for, for example, Kia/Hyundai/Sunyung, etc). If it works via OBD in the car, why doesn’t it work on the bench using ECUBOX? The ECU is identified but reading or writing isn’t possible? Any solution?

foxflash vw dcm3.7 ecu 5

 

Solution:

It’s because immo is active, obd reading for that ecu requires immo to be connected.

Immobilizer blocks on the table.
 
It needs bcm/immo to enter access to the ecu.
Cannot read and write with the breakout box via OBD on bench.
 
Only jtag/boot or obd this ecu.
 
KESS3 did it via OBD, never had a problem.
Foxflash/KT200 also does it via OBD.

Or do it in Jtag mode withkess3/foxflash/kt200 etc.
