Troubleshoot ECU Files
Frequent ECU Opening Issues
Missing TunerPro
When trying to open your ECU file, you get the error "Can't Open ECU File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have TunerPro for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your ECU with TunerPro, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: Another ECU-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Incorrect TunerPro Version
Sometimes your installed version of TunerPro won't support your TunerPro ECU Configurator Data file. You will need to download a newer version of TunerPro if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a TunerPro ECU Configurator Data file version that was created by a newer version of TunerPro than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your ECU file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening ECU files are due to having the incorrect version of TunerPro installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading ECU Files
Errors opening TunerPro ECU Configurator Data files can still occur even with the latest TunerPro software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening ECUs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for ECU
- The ECU file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Invalid installation of a ECU-associated program (eg. TunerPro)
- The ECU itself is corrupted
- The ECU is infected with a virus
- ECU-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the TunerPro ECU Configurator Data format
