PCM Module 53 Infineon Tricore BSL Guide

PCM–FLASH module 53 is for qualified users only and requires access to the ECU pcb and in some cases the soldering of additional components. The work is performed in bench mode (BUT ECU disassembling is required).

 

Here is the PCM Module 53 – Infineon Tricore BSL operation guide

NOTE: CAN Bootstrap Loader (BSL) is a mode where is the ecu is forced into boot mode by accessing the processor by manipulating certain parts of the PCB, usually vias or pads.

The module supports many ECU’s with the TC1724, TC1728, TC1736, TC1738, TC1762, TC1766, TC1767, TC1782, TC1792, TC1793, TC1796, TC1797 and TC1798 microcontrollers of Bosch, Siemens / Continental and Delphi ECUs.

The password can be read from SIM2K-24x, Ford EMS22XX, Ford SID20X, Bosch, Bosch GPT ECUs.

The opens possibilities to MANY ecus not supported by other modules.

Working Example.

For our example we are going to Read and write both Flash memory and EEPROM from a Delphi CRD3.10 in this case, the ecu is from a 2012 Mercedes C250 blue efficiency model, a car not on our current module list.

2012 Mercedes C250

With a little research we can find

 

  1. ECM type and specifications
  2. ECM pinouts
  3. boot loader connections for pcb

 

Processor type TC1797

Password: Not implemented

Eeprom external

Crd3

Step 1

We need to dismantle the ECU in order to access the PCB to enable us to place the ecu in boot mode so that we can read/write.

First we remove the screws from the ecu case.

Pcmtuner Module 53 1

Next, using a heat gun, we gently heat the edges of the ECU lid to help loosen the bonding material, whilst gently prying the lid. Care must be taken not to use excessive heat or force!!

Pcmtuner Module 53 2

After removing the Lid we now have access to the ECU’s pcb.

Pcmtuner Module 53 3

Pcmtuner Module 53 4

Closer inspection of the processor shows it to be a tricore 1797

 

Now we must prepare the PCB for boot mode. Below are just some of the Schematics available via online resources on how to place this ecu into BSL or boot mode. Some some will show connections for resistors to be soldered. These type are usually our last resort if we cannot use our boot and cnf cables.

Pcmtuner Module 53 5

Others may show the Labels L and H

Pcmtuner Module 53 6

and others BOOT and CNF1

Pcmtuner Module 53 7

L = Boot H = CNF1 which also relate to the cables on PCM bench wires with crocodile clips.

In order to connect to the points shown we can use pen probes (recommended ) or we can solder leads directly to these points that are usually pads, vias or IC pins.

Pcmtuner Module 53 8

With our PCMtuner interface NOT powered, we can connect or bench cable to the ECU

Pcmtuner Module 53 9

And connect our BOOT and CNF1 to the appropriate leads or Probe pens on the PCB

Pcmtuner Module 53 10

Step 2.

Power on our PCMtuner hardware, open PCMflash, and select module 53 TC1797 Micro (4096kb)

Our Micro is where our flash memory containing maps etc is located.

Pcmtuner Module 53 11

Next we click on Identification to ensure our connections and selection is correct :

Pcmtuner Module 53 12

If you cannot ID then please check all connections to PCB, check ECU pinouts, or, in some cases you may have to revert to a diagram that shows boot and cnf connections as resistors rather than a physical connection to your bench cable.

 

Next we click on Read, We will be asked to select password, in this ECU case we specify that it is not implemented.

Pcmtuner Module 53 13

Pcmtuner Module 53 14

When read is complete we will be asked to save the file

Pcmtuner Module 53 15

click save…

Now we will read our eeprom.

In the case of this particular ECU its is an external Ic, so we select the option via MODULE 53>>external eeprom>>Delphi CRD3.1 eeprom

Pcmtuner Module 53 16

Again, click Identification..then read

Pcmtuner Module 53 17

and again save on the computer when done

Pcmtuner Module 53 19

To write a file to flash, we select our micro and click the file selection box

Pcmtuner Module 53 20

we then choose the file we wish to write…..

Pcmtuner Module 53 21

we then choose the file we wish to write…..

On this Particular ECU we must do our checksum before in our file editor as this automatic checksum

Pcmtuner Module 53 22

So we click Yes

For our ECU we must select ‘other (no crc checks) in the first drop down box.

Password is Auto (as not used on this ecu)

‘use write optimizations’ is unchecked. This means the full flash file is written. If checked, only changes in the file will be written to Flash – We then click OK

Pcmtuner Module 53 23

Sit back, have a beer and wait on your latest masterpiece being written to the ECU

Pcmtuner Module 53 24

If all goes to plan….Successful write!!!

Pcmtuner Module 53 25

If using Scanmatik 2 pro, here is the pinout

ption 1. Direct connection to Scanmatik 2 OBD connector:
OBD1-GPT1
OBD2-GPT2
OBD4, 5 – ground
OBD6-CAN-H
OBD14-CAN-L
OBD16 – +12V
It is MANDATORY to install a 120 ohm resistor between CAN-H and CAN-L!

Option 2. Direct connection to DB25 Scanmatik 2:
DB25-23 – GPT1
DB25-4 – GPT2
DB25-20, 21 – mass
DB25-8 – CAN-H
DB25-9 – CAN-L
DB25-1, 2- + 12V
It is MANDATORY to install a 120 ohm resistor between CAN-H and CAN-L!

 

Foxflash/KT200 can do CRD3 on bench if you have it.
