How Does Galletto 1260 Clone read/write Peugeot 306 HDI ECU Data

Here in this blog, i will show you how to read/ write Peugeot 306 HDI ECU with cheap ECU Tuning Tool Galletto 1260 cable.

Carry out this procedure at your own risk.

The main contents include 3 parts:

Part 1: Setting up the galletto 1260

Part 2: Reading the ECU

Part 3: Flashing the ECU

Car model: Peugeot 306 HDI

ECU Typr: Bosch EDC 15 C2 29f400BT

1. How to set up the Galletto 1260 tool?The best place to buy the Galletto 1260 ECU Chip tuning tool is obdexpress. This costs
   €13.5

To use Galletto 1260, you need a stable laptop computer with a fully charged battery. For best results windows XP can be used.

When you receive the tool you must first copy the contents of the disc(will package with the unit) onto your desktop. Next connect the USB cable to the laptop and allow Windows to automatically install the correct driver. The driver used will be an FTDI driver. If it does not install automatically you may have to go in to: Control panel> Performance and maintenance> System > Hardware> Device manager. In this menu you will be able to select the tool and update the driver.

2. How to read the ECU by Galletto 1260?If possible run an extension cable down to your car and connect your charger. Make sure there are no other programs running that could cause the computer to crash.

At first you should Remove the fuse box cover which is beneath the steering wheel. To do this you must turn the clip a quarter turn. Perhaps Need A large flat blade screw driver  to do the job instead you.
– then Connect the Galletto inferface to the car’s diagnostics port and Connect the USB side to the laptop.
-Open the program named ‘NEW_SERIAL’.
-Switch on the ignition key to two clicks (don’t start the engine) until the test lights illuminate

-NEXT Select Peugeot/Citroen, Bosch EDC 15 C2 29f400BT.
-Select ECU data. You will then see a code such as 0281010362. This means that the tool has connected to the ECU successfully.
-Now select read data. You can name and save the ECU data. The file format should be **.bin (e.g. Peugrot-edc-15.bin)
-When reading is complete wait for the message and follow the instructions: Switch off the ignition and then click ok -> Wait ten seconds -> switch on the ignition and click ok.
-Now You should have a copy of your original ECU data file on your laptop.
-This file can be sent over to remap.

3. How to flash the ECU by Galletto 1260 interface?You have to transfer remapped file over tolaptop once you received it. And It is very important for you to check the file size is 512KB, you must also check the consistency of the file using the check sum tool:

https://mega.nz/#!OFcDxRpB!7782GGlWFC5fSOnrlEHe0se-Bn5cGfE3bUSdGn4SUpE

-Connect the Galletto inferface to the car’s diagnostics port and Connect the USB side to the laptop.
-Open the program named ‘NEW_SERIAL’.
-Switch on the ignition key to two clicks (don’t start the engine) until the test lights illuminate

-Select Peugeot/Citroen, Bosch EDC 15 C2 29f400BT.
-Select ECU data. You will then see a code such as 0281010362. This means that the tool has connected to the ECU successfully.
-Select ‘Open file’, and then select the new remapped file which you wish to load to the ECU.
-Select download file. This step can not be interrupted, so Make sure there is no other software running and don’t knock the cable etc, it’s best to remain completely still to eliminate any possible risk.
-Afterwards, when the program prompts, switch off the ignition once the lift pump has stopped. Then press ok and wait ten seconds. You will then be prompted to switch it back on. Do as instructed and the process is complete.

How to solve Kess v2 ksuite v2.22 protocol error

Here is a customer solution of Kess V2 Ksuite v2.22 protocol error “Protocol not compatible with version FW”. Put it for sharing. Wish it helps anyone.

The customer bought SE87-C (kess v2 master v4.036 ksuite v2.22).
He got the error message“Protocol not compatible with version FW.”when trying to read a Audi 2,0tdi 2007 BRD engine. Ecu: Siemens PPD1.3 I
I have test software version 2.06-2.22 same problem.

Then the customer have successfully solved the Kess v2 protocol error himself.

He said as below:

“I have solved the protocol error myself.
Here is how: I installed the ksuite 2.06 full, then copy the ksuite 2.08 who is in the token reset folder that has the firmware's in update folder into my install directory. (like you do in the video for the ksuite 2.08)”

Bench cable or OBD cable, which for Kess V2 MB temic truck cables?

Any doubts about MB temic cables for Kess v2 tuning work? Bench cable or OBD cable?

There are some differences between the bench cable 144300K249 and the obd2 cable 144300K251:

You can not clone ecu from obd, for that you need bench cable.
Old boot cable works only on boot mode and does not support new continental ecu without flash memory.

So buy just two head (round + obd) Temic truck cable (with part number 144300K249). That is your choice for tuning.

This cable has been done on 200-300 MB trucks by a user, first in boot mode and after Kess v2 released OBD protocol.
Never had really any problems.

It’s easy to find with Google search seller from China sellers or other who sell euro clone Kess v2 or Ktag
But you have no this ecu tool now. Better to buy a Kess v2 truck version. It is a truck specialized version. Compared with other kess in markets, this truck version adds a lot of ECUs for trucks diagnosis and ecu programming.

Kess v2 truck tuning kit price: €64

Version: software V2.08/V2.22, firmware V4.024
