How to open ECU file?
The most common problem when using TunerPro ECU Configurator is that a specific ECU is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ECU files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ECU file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install TunerPro
The first step is to check if the computer has the TunerPro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TunerPro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ECU.
Programs to open ECU file
Remember to download programs supporting ECU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TunerPro with ECU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ECU file to open in the TunerPro application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TunerPro application as the default for handling the ECU file.
Step 3. Update TunerPro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TunerPro program, it is possible that TunerPro ECU Configurator requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mark Mansur website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ECU file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ECU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ECU file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ECU file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ECU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ECU files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ECU file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Mark Mansur, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ECU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ECU to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
