(Solved) INPA Error IFH-0009: NO RESPONSE FROM CONTROL UNIT

INPA error IFH-0009 No Response usually means a break down (or lack of) communication between the vehicle itself, and the laptop. More often than not, IFH-0009 errors in INPA are caused by the following reasons.

The hardware for INPA can be:
BMW ICOM A2;
INPA KDCAN USB cable;
EDIABAS OBDII interface;

1) Poor quality, or incorrectly wired interfaces. IFH-0009 errors are the most common in D-Can+K usb interface leads. Often these low-quality can be badly constructed, incorrectly wired, or contain the wrong chip set drivers or come with no drivers at all!. Whilst not all Chinese interfaces are poor quality, buying cheap imported leads is a gamble and when problems occur the seller probably won’t be interested. It is therefore important that you buy an interface lead from a good quality, reputable Vendor.

2) Wrong or Incorrect Interface Drivers. Again, mass produced interfaces can often contain cd’s with the wrong chipset drivers or come with no CD at all. Without the correct (latest) USB drivers, your interface lead will not install under windows properly. Our software package comes complete with a popular driver which is compatible with most Chinese and Western produced USB Interfaces, which will often work if the one supplied from your interface lead vendor doesn’t or hasn’t been included.

3) Incorrectly configured interface lead. Again, one of the most common problems with USB type leads. When installing a D-Can or Usb Interface lead, you will need to reconfigure the Windows based com port settings, so that the USB lead, appears to replicate an old RS-232 serial port. To replicate the port correctly, you need to change the existing Com port setting of the USB interface within Windows to Com Port 1 and change the latency setting to ‘1′ and check any ‘Fifo’ box

4) Incorrectly wired interface. Once again, there is no set standard as to the wiring pin configurations used within D-Can + K interfaces, by the various manufacturers. Some interface leads have pin 8 disconnected, some have pin 8 physically linked (bridged) to Pin 7, and some have pin 7 & 8 connected individually with no bridge link. If you still have problems connecting to the vehicle, and still get ‘IFH’ style errors then you should open the OBD Socket of the lead and check the pin wiring to see which type of interface you have. You should consider trying your interface lead, with the following configurations….

i) Pin 8 joined to Pin 7 using a small wire link

ii) Pin 8 physically disconnected

iii) Pin 7 and Pin 8 individually connected to their own pins with no link.

More often than not, one of these configurations will work with your vehicle, I recommend trying it with pins 7 & 8 linked together first, as this is by far the most popular vehicle configuration.

Also don’t assume that once you have found the pin 8 solution which works with one vehicle, that it will automatically work with a different model. If you have more than one D-Can equipped vehicle, you may need to obtain a second interface lead and configure ‘pin 8′ differently.

If you don’t own a soldering iron, or if you don’t feel confident about soldering electrical connectors, then there are adaptors available which will bridge pins 7 & 8 together, without any need to open the OBD socket or solder.

5) Incomplete Versions of INPA. There are many versions of Inpa around, many of which are incomplete or simply lack the various configuration files in which to work correctly. If you try all of the above and the IFH-0009 problem still remains, then you will need to consider buying and installing the full version of Inpa which includes Ediabas and BMW Standard Tools

Real case solved by one of solutions above:
Background:
1. I have a 2004 325ci

2. I purchased the ebay cable here. It is an under-the-dash OBD to USB cable.

3. It came with what was described as INPA 5.02 and EDIABAS 6.4.7. You have to install BMW Tools first, and then update. (Updating INPA, it shows a check mark next to INPA 5.01 "update," and loading INPA, it says version 5.00 at the top bar.) I also installed NCSExpert.

4. I am using windows XP SP3 32 bit. Firewall disabled, no anti-virus. No other software is installed. (I've had the same problem using Win 7 and Vista).

5. C:\Ediabas\bin is in the path.

6. Installed the USB cable and set the COM port to 1. Latency is set to 1ms. There is no option to use FIFO buffer.

7. Ediabas.ini has STD:OBD as interface. It is also set so loadwinxp = 1

8. OBD.INI is in C:\ediabas\bin and \system32. COM port is set to 1 and hardware = USB (when hardware = OBD the battery circle is black even when not plugged into the car).

9. When loading INPA, I get black battery and ignition when plugged in and starting car.

10. I can successfully read the ECU. I can read and clear errors.

11. When trying to read any other module, I get the IFH 0009 No Response From Control Unit.

How to solved:
I took about the connector and pins 7 and 8 are indeed soldered together!

I verified that both pins 7 and 8 had voltage and that the connection from the chassis wires to the obd plug under the dash were solid.

I then looked closely at pin #8 on the OBD/USB wire and noticed that it was bent slightly. It was not lining up in the pin #8 slot! I straightened it out and it worked!

(Solved) Mercedes W203 EDC16C2 ECU problem not crank and not read on BDM

This post begins with Mercedes W203 EDC16C2 ECU problem that MPC556LF8MZP40 wont crank and ecu not possible to read on BDM, and finally solve the problem. To know how to solve this problem, go on reading.

Car model and year:
MERCEDES W203 EDC16C2 ecu 0281012451 A6461504091.
IT HAS EXTERNAL EEPROM EXTERNAL FLASH AND MPC.

Problem:
Ecu has problem with MPC556LF8MZP40.
It wont cranck untill you heat mpc little bit. Around 20C.
Also ecu is not possible to read on BDM. It cant recognize it.

What tool used to test?
Tested with FGTech Galletto and BDM100 ECU programmer

Detailed problem description:
So I found DUMPS on forum readed with DIMSPORT.
Because i am not sure that dumps are ok, i have to program them in to another same cu from W211 so i can test it on mercedes w203.
After programming W211 ecu with BDM100 in dimsport software i use external eeprom from W203 ecu and program it in w211 ecu.
I test it on car and everything went fine. Car start and no fault (checked with DAS).
After testing i use GALETTO and read w211 ecu and save files. So i have files that work.
Then i start to searcH for used MPC556LF8MZP40, and i found it in FORD FOCUS EDC16 working ECU.
I resolder it from ford ecu and re-ball it and solder it on mercedes w203 ecu. I connect it with GALETTO and finally i can connect it.
When i look better i saw that eeprom PROGRAMM and READ options are disable.
So i was thinking ok that was wrong dump inside MPC and i start with programming MPC. After programming MPC i restart the ecu and same problem.
OK i have to program also external FLASH and MPC. Maybe that could be the problem.
After programming MPC and flash i have still the same situation. Not possible to read and program external EEPROM.

Finally, Solved!!!
Problem was bad mpc. When i heat it littlebit i get access to the eeprom. i replace new mpc and now cor run smootlhy.

How to lower Jaguar X350 air suspension with JLR mangoose SDD

Here is the inscription on resetting air suspension value for Jaguar X350 with Jaguar and Land Rover JLR mangoose SDD diagnostic system or Ford VCM II IDS / SDD for Ford, Jaguar and Land rover.

NOTE:
Before re-calibrate air suspension value, you need to fit some longer rods to the height sensors and some shims under the mounting brackets of the height sensors.

Equipments:
JLR mangoose SDD OBD II diagnostic interface or Ford VCM2 IDS / SDD for Ford and JLR
A laptop running Win XP home

Instruction:
Well install Mangoose SDD software
Connect the mangoose cable with vehicle via OBD socket
Wait the SDD to read VIN automatically and display vehicle information

Run an though scan of the car, and go to "Service Function" program
Locate "Air Suspension calibration" option on the list

Turn ignition OFF
Turn ignition ON and start the engine
Wait the SDD levels out and adjusts the suspension, the SDD software will pops out "Air suspension leveling in progress" notice. The compressor will run and the shocks fill and bleed. Finally, it will level out the correct ride height.

Measure the distance from the centre of each wheel to the apex of the each wheelarch in millimeters using the ride height gauge 204-484 For example:. Front at 386mm and the rear at 373mm, write down these numbers.
If the car is not sting at this height, it needs to be calibrated to the factory settings. If it is correct set, you can start calibrate the suspension.

Follow the picture below to measure the ride height

If you do not have this tool, you can measure the ride height using tape measure from the inside edge of the wheel arch, this is not the same as the outside edge. Remove the center caps from the wheels. The growler has a line exactly in the middle if you turn it 90 ° which makes measuring easier.

The Ford IDS will prompt you to enter the front left ride height value in mm, to add the amount that you want to lower the car compared to the factory setting.

Example, if you want to lower the front by 15mm, to 371mm, and the front is actually at the factory height of 386mm, then enter 401mm into the VCM IDS. Measure the other side and add the same amount. After you measure 4 corners , the car will go through a leveling cycle and adjust to the new height.

Continue to measure all four corners follow the same procedure above.

Once again you have to enter values ​​into the IDS, by adding the amount you want to lower the car.
Follow the above reference, you should now be measuring 371mm, add 15mm to it & enter 386mm (factory value).
The IDS will report "The air suspension unit has calibrated successfully" when is completed.
