MERLINS RALLIART & EVOLUTION-X <strong>TUNING</strong> <strong>GUIDE</strong>1.10-CONNECTING to the ECUFirst, a caution: It has been reported that cables fitted with a connection to pin 9can, on very rare occasions, brick the ETACS unit. Pin 9 is a timing pulse signalrequired for flashing Subaru ECUs <strong>and</strong> is not required for flashing the Evo EFIcontroller. If your cable has this pin fitted, the safe move is to remove it with a pairof long-nose pliers.Ok, you have your OBD-II cable, <strong>and</strong> have EcuFLASH up-<strong>and</strong>-running on yourlaptop. Take a quick look at the photo of the relevant connector. Proceed to the Evo<strong>and</strong> connect the OBD-II cable to the black OBD-II port. The connector is behind thedash facia, drivers side, adjacent to the centre tunnel. Just feel with your h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong>plug the connector into the receptacle. Pix from Biggles on MLR.Figure 6:OBD-II PORTPlug the USB end of the cable into your laptop, it seems to be a good practice toalways use the same port to prevent USB driver conflicts. At least this was aproblem when mixing 1.3U cables <strong>and</strong> OpenPort2 cables.The cable will talk to the laptop <strong>and</strong> proceed to install itself. Just follow the prompts<strong>and</strong> select Proceed Anyway when questioned about proceeding.When the cable is installed <strong>and</strong> all is ready, the READ ECU icon will light-up with ablue arrow. Important note, make sure the car battery is charged or theread/write operation may fail. A failed write is bad news!REV: 0.K merlin@three.com.au Page 19 of 134
