⚠️ Caution
During the ECU data [ReFLASH] operation, DO NOT remove the Flash Editor from the vehicle's OBD connector until 'PLEASE IG OFF' is displayed on the operation screen.
Removing the device before 'PLEASE IG OFF' is displayed can damage the ECU and render the vehicle inoperable.
- Connect the Flash Editor to the vehicle's OBD connector. Turn the ignition ON and wait for at least 10 seconds (do not start the engine).
- From the MENU screen, select 'ECU ReFLASH', then choose 'Custom Data' or 'Normal Data', and finally select 'WRITE START'.
