I have BURN2+FA+FE, and was able to follow the moates instructions to download my BIN via flash n burn. -Plug everything in -Select FORD EECV in flash n burn -Select 'Read Chip' in flash n burn, read successful. -Write buffer to file, buffer wrote to file successfully.
• TunerPro Plug-ins (for Version 5 and later) To install these plug-ins, download them and unzip them to your tunerpro files plugins directory, then restart TunerPro. Do not place them in the TunerPro program files directory. TunerPro is a free map editing software that can be used to view and customize any of our tune files for the Porsche, Fiat Abarth, Mazda MX5 (ND), Ducati Diavel or BMW S1000RR. Be sure to load the correct.xdf file while you are viewing and editing any tune file.
BIN that was loaded is 128k, however looks like a garbage HEX file, with all value pairs as CF and FF. Am I missing something to read a FORD EECV ecu? Totally accurate battle simulator free download. Thanks for any help you can provide. I've googled, searched, and googled some more! Love to attach my BIN, don't see an option on this forum.

In the end trial and error prevailed. Here are some tips for those wishing to read thier CDAN4 EECV. This ECU was a LWC3, email me if you need this stock bin! Short Answer: Set the Chip Addressing to: Start: 000000 End: 03FFFF Buffer Addressing: 000000 03FFFF Click 'READ CHIP'! Click 'Save Buffer to File' Download the CDAN4.XDF from TIPERFORMANCE.COM *The CDAN4 file from other sources resulted in false errors! Long Explanation: I had to use the TunerPro Hex Editor, and read read read on hex files to understand what was going on.
Troubleshooting steps that 'worked for me'. Wish I had this info to start!: 1. Download a known good BIN and Strategy(tiperformance.com files worked for me).
Check out the tables, scalars, and other items to get familiar with what CDAN4 strategy items are available with that XDF. Use Hex editor to explore this known good bin. Open the XDF and check out the BIN File layout.
Notice that the good stuff starts at location(think line number. In hex) '00012000'.
The Moates instructions here are a bit vague: 3a. Pick EECV or enter chip address start -> 000000. End -> 03FFFF. Note that the MOATEs instructions do not specify 'Buffer Address', just to enter 'Start/End'. In my case, the same Chip and Buffer settings worked.
