How to Read and Write ECU Safely thru OBD with KESS ECU Programmer?

KESS V2 V5.017 Introduction: Kess V2 V5.017 can read and write ECU via OBD2 port directly, no need to disassemble the ECU from the car. The problem with some ECU’s, is that you can’t read them over OBD (except on some original/high priced tools) and for that reason you may need KTAG to read a full BDM, unlock TPROT (if it’s available), write the modifications back with KTAG and then you can use KESS over OBD to read/write.   Here’s the  step ： STEP 1:  Plug KESS into car’s OBD-II port   STEP 2:  Plug KESS into laptop’s USB port   STEP 3: Launch KESS software   STEP 4: Read/Write data to vehicles EEPROM ECU chip   What’s more, tuning/remapping is completely safe because you can backup and restore original ECU data back to car in 1-click.

Instruction about Reading and Writing on Volvo GPT vehicles with KTAG ECU Programmer.

  This is a Ktag help file used for Volvo Bosch EDC17 on GPT vehicles.   To use this protocol of communication you have to remove and open the ECU. It is a risky operation, to be done with great care and caution to avoid damaging the ECU beyond repair.   After opening the ECU and before proceeding with reading and/or programming, you are strongly advised to reconnect the unit to the vehicle and start the engine, to make sure it still works.   To use this protocol you also need to connect to the ECU connector through a cable, and solder one or more wires to the programming pads.   Incorrect or poorly made connections and solderings may damage the ECU, often beyond repair.   Under no circumstances we shall be liable for any damage caused to the ECU during the opening, due to connections and soldering that do not comply with the instructions provided in this manual.   BY USING THIS PROTOCOL, YOU CONFIRM YOUR FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF THIS TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU RELIEVE US F
