Errors

A quick overview of potential issues encountered during programming and diagnostics for the Simos19.3 control unit.

This software version is unknown by the server

View Solution →

Dynomode activation error

The system failed to enter Dyno Mode due to unmet physical or electronic security conditions.

View Solution →

Car doesn't start after writing

The vehicle is immobilized or unresponsive following a successful write operation via OBD.

View Solution →

This software version is unknown by the server

Method: OBD

Issue: You are trying to read or write a file, but the bFlash server does not have the virtual original for this specific version.

Solution
  • Locate a matching original file for this ECU software version.
  • Send the file to Support@bFlash.com.
  • Wait for the technical team to add the file to the server database.
To understand more

Modern Simos19.3 protocols often rely on server-side Virtual Reads. If the server lacks the specific software ID, it cannot provide the necessary data for comparison or modification, requiring manual intervention from support.

Dynomode activation error

Method: Dyno Mode diagnostic

Issue: The attempt to activate the vehicle's dynamometer mode failed during the diagnostic phase.

Solution
  • Verify that the front hood (bonnet) is physically open.
  • Ensure the Secure Gateway (SGW) is unlocked on equipped models.
  • If the error persists, Contact our technical support with a screenshot.
To understand more

For VAG group vehicles using Simos19.3, specific safety and security conditions must be met to enter diagnostic modes. The hood switch is a common physical "safety" check used by the ECU to authorize high-level diagnostic commands.

Car doesn't start after writing

Method: OBD

Issue: The engine fails to crank or fire immediately after the programming process has finished.

Solution
  • Remove the key, exit the car, and lock the vehicle for 10 minutes.
  • This allows the Immobilizer (Immo) and CAN-bus to fully reset and synchronize.
  • If it still doesn't start, the written file likely contains data errors or incorrect checksums.
To understand more

Following an OBD flash, the various control modules in the vehicle need to re-establish trust. A complete "sleep cycle" (10 minutes locked) often resolves temporary Immobilizer lockout states that occur during the disruption of the CAN-bus.

[ISOTP API] No data to read from isotp stack A... @ Routine Control.

Method: OBD

Issue: The bFlash interface is unable to receive data packets from the ECU during the communication stack initialization.

Solution
  • Ensure Dyno Mode is disabled before attempting any programming.
  • If you suspect it's stuck, try activating Dyno Mode with bFlash, then deactivating it manually.
  • Proceed with the flashing operation once the mode is confirmed as OFF.
To understand more

The ISOTP (ISO Transport Protocol) stack is used for diagnostic data transfer. If Dyno Mode is active, the ECU is in a specialized state that can block standard programming routines, leading to a "No data to read" timeout error.
