Checksum is invalid. error code : 0x00000001
Method: BENCH
Issue: You are seeing a warning that the file integrity cannot be verified or the checksum calculation is incorrect.
- In most cases involving BOSCH MEDC17 architecture, you can safely ignore this warning and proceed with the programming.
- The software will typically correct the checksum during the write process.
- If the error persists or prevents the programming from completing successfully, please Contact our technical support.
To understand more
This warning usually appears because the ECU has been previously modified using a third-party tuning tool that didn't calculate the checksums according to Bosch standards. bFlash detects this discrepancy to warn you, but its internal auto-checksum correction handles the fix during the flash.

Method: OBD
Issue: The vehicle's Gateway is rejecting the programming request because the necessary safety conditions have not been met.
- Ensure the driver's seat belt is buckled.
- Connect a stable external power supply (battery charger) to the vehicle.

- Switch off the ignition, close all doors, and wait for 5 minutes for the car to enter "sleep" mode before retrying the operation.
To understand more
