The error "Failed to Sync Baud Rate" is typically caused by harness issue either with the pinout or installation, this accounts for about 90% of the cases that we support. There are a few other possibilities which are detailed here, this is a pretty easy checklist to run through so please take a few a minutes to review this information before creating a Support Ticket.
1) Harness issues
- Verify that all of your wires are fully inserted into their connectors by gently pulling on them and checking whether they move or not. If they are able to move from the connector housing then they are a likely cause of the problem. You will need to unlock and locking tabs on the connector, re-insert the pin, and then lock the locking tab on the connector again.
- Look at the front of the connectors to ensure the wires/pins are fully inserted, are not bent and that they look like other OEM pins/connectors if applicable
- This should be checked for ALL of the wires connecting to the ECU (bike or bench harness) as well as the wires going to your communication interface (Log Box or USB).
- Perform a wire continuity check using a multimeter on all the wires and verify that you have continuity end to end on each individual colored wire.
- Verify pinout and compare your installation with the photos in the installation guide, you can also send us photos so that we can verify the installation is correct and the harness itself is correctly assembled.
2) PC related issues
- Shut down your PC, let it sit for a few minutes and then restart it. It's important to do a full shutdown, sit for some time and then restart as opposed to a simple restart via the software. This approach clears all contents of RAM which may include configuration or temporary data that may be conflicting with the
Woolich Racing Tuned software..
It is also worth trying the following:
- Try a different USB cable
- Try a different USB cable in a different PC
- Try a different PC altogether
3) Interface related issues:
4) Power Supply Issues
- If bike flashing, turn the key on and kill switch on but do not start the bike. Measure the voltage directly at the battery and confirm you have 12.9 VDC or more. If 12.8VDC or less - put on a tender and let it charge for a while then retry later with the tender still on.
- If bench flashing, check your power supply with no load attached and ensure you have 12-14 VDC. Please check your power supply (if able to be completed safely) and verify your current is between 1-2A.
If you get to this point and none of those have helped, then it is very possible this ECU has been reflashed elsewhere and locked by that software that last flashed it.
