Periphery Configuration


The Evo ECU has a number of flags, or bits, that control certain behavior of the ECU; everything from disabling certain tests that throw OBD-II codes to changing how the ECU applies timing in certain instances. To access this data, you need to make a few additions to your EcuFlash configuration.

First, this page assumes you are running EcuFlash version 1.35 or newer; older versions do not have support for bit-level editing directly, and require you to edit these fields much differently.

On windows, assuming your copy of EcuFlash is installed in the default location, run notepad. If you have an Evo VIII or earlier, open the file:

C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\mitsubishi\evo\evo7base.xml

If you have an Evo IX, however, open:

C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\mitsubishi\evo\evo9base.xml

Once you've opened the file, add the following text, just before the line at the end that says </rom>:

Once you have done this, open EcuFlash and load your ROM. You should now see a new section labeled "ECUPeriphery", with the new data you just added.

To change a bit from 1 to 0, simply select the number, and press the [ key. Similarly, to change a 0 to a 1, select it and press the ']' key. Typing = and entering 1 or 0 may not work, due to a bug in some versions of EcuFlash.

That's it! Enjoy your new-found control over your ECU, but take care to understand the changes you are making here; you can render your vehicle completely inoperable, or cause a great deal of damage, through misconfiguration of the periphery bits.
