    Car ECU Chip identification, and find pinout

    Hi There,

    I'd like to read/write the contents of the chip. This is a 1995 vintage FORD ECU and IMMO controller.


    Unfortunately, I can't find a circuit diagram or pinout on the chips.
    The serial number uniqe, not factory?
    Can you help me identify the chips or pins?

    many thanks!

    top chip (28pin) has a crystal connected to pins 5 & 6 so it's a microcontroller.
    not sure what microcontroller texas instruments made in 1995

    the lower 32pin chip *may* be an eprom or flash,
    if you had the equipment you could lift it and try to read the electronic ID - but i suspect if you could then you would already have tried.

      Dear STJ,

      Thanks for the reply.
      Yes the goal would be to read the bottom eprom.
      I haven't lifted the chip yet. I'm afraid I would be hurt or I couldn't put it back properly. Its functionality would be important.
      And I have a hot air gun solder. But I haven't used it yet to change chips.
      This is new information for me: that the bottom of the chip can be an identifier?

        the numbers are useless,
        car ecu's always have custom numbers on everything.

          I'm sad to hear.
          I leave the topic open to see if anyone who has already encountered this chip live is coming for it.
          It was fitted to many Ford in the ’90s: Escort, Mondeo, Scorpio,

            hi, Stavi
            You will not be able to find any information about this type of device because it is controlled by the manufacturer and they will not release this information to you

            I have tried in the past with industrial equipment and was told because it was specially designed for the vendor that they could not release any information about the specifications of that part number but would answer questions about product that were not made for any other vendors which I was able to find a comparable part number that would probably work

              the N81c66 microcontroller is a standard part,
              the datasheet will have pinouts and you can trace them to the suspected memory chip

                  That seems like a good idea. I'll try.
                  Thank you very much

                    Dear Jumpstart,

                    Thank you very much for your help. This seems like a good solution. I see the RT801f + PEB-1 eprom reader does not know this type of chip, I need to get another type of eprom reader.

                      ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
                      by DynaxSC
                      Hi

                      I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
                      The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
                      The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
                      The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

                      I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

                      Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
                      by acedogblast
                      This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                      There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                      Canon printhead eeprom chip identification, and find pinout
                      by stavi
                      Hi There,

                      I'd like to read/write the contents of the eeprom chip.

                      This is located on the print head of a Canon inkjet printer.
                      It is likely that this disables the head after printing an xy copy.
                      Unfortunately, I can't identify the chip, so I can't read it either.

                      That is written on it: TO2 (T null? 2), KU
                      Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

                      Many thanks for help...

                      by danielgerman681
                      Hi, Im trying to find the area on the chip that contains all of my laptops information, but I havent found it. The laptop won't turn on anymore. I was updating the BIOS, and it was supposed to reboot itself, but it wouldnt turn back on. I ve tried every possible solution, every alternative on Lenovo forums, everywhere; I ve taken it to technicians, and no one has been able to fix it. I've already read the chip that contains the BIOS (Winbond 25Q128JSVQ) and searched for my laptops data, but they're nowhere to be found. I only find scribbles and lines of text indicating errors. Has anyone had a...

                      Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

                      A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

                      Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

                      A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

                      The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

                      Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.
