Mk5 Golf GTI - KESS Read Error - Mr.Blonde - 13-10-2019
Hello
When I try to read a Golf GTI Med9.1 ecu via OBDÂ with a Kess clone it goes to about 30% then stops.
The Kess manual says to connect the blue wire to the OBD cable for a +12v signal. Do I connect a 12v power source to this or is it supposed to plug in somewhere? The end of the wire looks like it goes over an ecu pin?
Thanks

Did you connect a 12V charger to the battery? If yes, then you should have ~14.4V voltage. Without it might be to low voltage for reading the ECU

Yes was connected to a charger. At about 30% is stops and says error preparing the read

Try to set the read speed to minimum.

I'm using a clone kess. I can't see anywhere to change the read speed. Sorry if I'm being stupid, this is new to me

has it worked on any other cars ?

Another forum says I need a BDM100 to read the MED9.1. Can kess not do this via OBD or even with the bench harness?

i've just done one with kess obd, no problem,i have the i.d., ori and tuned file, if you want it, be careful, it may be a dodgy clone

Did your kess come with 2.23 software? If so try read again using 2.23, goodluck
