[Messages before/during reprogramming process]

mitsubishi-mut-3-reprogramming-25
a)“RPG data doesn’t apply to ECU”

Reprogramming stopped owing to the data in V.C.I. memory being not appropriate for the ECU.

?Note down the displayed ECU parts No. and ROM-ID.

?Restart V.C.I. by pressing Enter key, and confirm the matching of the data file No, which is displayed by reboot, and the ECU part No./ ROM-ID for reprogramming.

ECU Programming Tool same as VCI, CK for new data” (CK; check) Reprogramming stopped because reprogramming has been already done
