Method: OBD / Recovery: Bench
Issue: The system cannot locate the corresponding original file on the server during an OBD virtual read operation.
- Switch the tool to BENCH mode to perform a physical read of the ECU.
- Save the read file to your computer.
- Send the file directly to support@bflash.eu.
- Wait for our team to add the file to the server for future OBD access.
To understand more
Virtual reading relies on a pre-existing database of original files. When a specific software version is missing, a Bench read is required to capture the full data directly from the TC1796 processor, allowing the file to be cataloged for the community.
71-01-02-03-02 : UDS CheckProgrammingPreconditions RX unexpected size
Method: OBD
Issue: The ECU rejects the programming request because the UDS preconditions (security checks) have failed.
- Verify the status of the vehicle's Immobilizer (Immo) system using a diagnostic tool.
- Ensure the key is recognized and no "Unauthorized" errors are present in the Dashboard or ECU.
- If the immobilizer is invalid, it must be repaired or synchronized before bFlash (or even OEM tools) can flash the unit.
- If the issue persists despite a valid immo, Contact our technical support.
To understand more
Modern VAG vehicles using the UDS protocol enforce strict security preconditions. If the Immobilizer is not in a "ready" or "authorized" state, the ECU will return an unexpected response size during the ProgrammingPreconditions check to prevent unauthorized data tampering.
