Woolich Racing provides hardware and software solutions for writing tune files to the ECU, thereby modifying the vehicle performance. This all relies on our Woolich Racing Tuned software being able to communicate with the ECU via a Woolich Racing communication interface like the Log Box or USB. If there are problems with communication it is important to be able to quickly test the interface and its basic functions.
This guide explains how to test the Mitsubishi USB v1 interface as shown below.
Please ensure that you have not modified the COM Port settings, you should use the default values for Baud rate etc in Device Manager.
To Test Flashing Mode
1. Ensure the interface is NOT plugged into an ECU.
2. Ensure you have the interface powered with 12V DC connected to pin 5 and Ground connected to pin 8 on the interface.
If you have a bench harness to suit the Mitsubishi interface you can connect the 8-pin Molex connector and power supply as shown below:
If you only have a power supply you can connect to the interface as below.
The plug pin out above is the 8-pin Molex socket on the interface.
3. Connect the USB cable from the interface to the computer.
4. Move the mode switch on the interface to the right hand side position to the Read / Write mode (Red LED on).
5. Turn on the Power Supply.
6. Open the Woolich Racing Tuned software, go to "Tools" then click on "Test Interface".
Voltage Tests on Mitsubishi v1 interfaces ONLY
Use a multimeter in a DC voltage setting to perform the following tests.
1. Connect the USB cable from the Interface to the computer.
2. Move the mode switch on the interface to the right hand side position to the Read / Write mode (Red LED on).
3. Connect the Interface with a 12V DC power supply either by the bike ignition with an on bike harnesses or with the 12V DC power supply using a bench harness connected to the 8-pin Molex connector. Ensure the interface is NOT plugged into an ECU.
5. Turn on the Power Supply.
6. Measure the voltage between pin 3 and pin 8 on the interface, this should be 11.5V - 13.5V when in flashing mode (Red LED on).
7 . Measure the voltage between pin 4 and pin 8 on the interface, this should be 14.0V - 16.0V when in flashing mode (Red LED on).
The plug pin out above is the 8-pin Molex socket on the interface
To Test Engine Data Mode Mitsubishi v1 Interface ONLY
1. Ensure the interface is NOT plugged into an ECU.
2. Connect the USB cable from the Interface to the computer.
3. Ensure you have the Interface powered with 12V DC connected to pin 5 and Ground connected to pin 8 on the interface.
If you have a bench harness to suit the Mitsubishi interface you can connect the 8-pin Molex connector and power supply.
The plug pin out above is the 8-pin Molex socket on the interface.
4. Turn on Power Supply.
5. Move the mode switch on the interface to Engine Data Mode (Orange LED on)
6. Open the Woolich Racing Tuned software, go to "Tools" then click on "Test Interface".
