Password file not found ! Please read password first
Method: OBD
Issue: The software cannot proceed with reading or writing because the ECU's unique security password is missing from the local database.
- Locate and click the "Password" button in the bFlash interface before attempting any other operation.
- Wait for the password reading process to complete successfully.
- If the error persists after reading the password, Contact our technical support.
To understand more
Siemens EMS3155 units utilize a security layer that requires a specific password to unlock the TriCore processor. By clicking the Password button, bFlash retrieves this key, allowing subsequent OBD protocols to access the memory areas for tuning.
C300: Primary decryption failure
Method: OBD
Issue: The tool has detected that the ECU software has been previously modified or "locked" by a different tuning tool, preventing decryption.
- Identify if the vehicle has been tuned by a third-party tool previously.
- The ECU may need to be restored to its original (stock) state before bFlash can read it via OBD.
- If you are unsure of the ECU history, Contact our technical support with the logs.
To understand more
Decryption failures occur when the checksums or data structures do not match the expected Siemens factory format. This is a common safety feature to prevent data corruption when multiple tools with different encoding methods are used on the same hardware.
Sub-Function not supported @ Diagnostic Session Control (7F-10-12)
Method: OBD
Issue: The Engine Control Unit is rejecting the request to enter Programming Mode because the environment is unsafe for flashing.
- Open the HELP section of the bFlash protocol for the EMS3155.
- Ensure the engine is OFF but the ignition is ON.
- Verify that the battery voltage is stable (ideally >12.5V) and a charger is connected.
- Check for other conditions like coolant temperature or gear position as specified in the help manual.
To understand more
The 7F-10-12 error code is a negative response from the ECU indicating that "conditions are not correct." Modern ECUs perform a pre-flight check of the vehicle's electrical state to prevent a failed write operation that could lead to a bricked unit.
