Direct Access Changes
The following files define some “custom” direct access tables we provide to our users that need them. They represent functionality that a few people need but that we don't feel warrants a new release and change to the core ECMLink application and code base. So instead, we provide direct access tables to make the changes for those that really want them.
Installing the file
To use one of the files below, simply download the file into the following directory:
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\ecmlink\resources\records
Windows Vista/Windows 7:
C:\Users\<username>\ecmlink\resources\records
Linux/Mac:
$HOME/ecmlink/resources/records
The directory should already exist, so if it doesn't, you may be looking in the wrong place.
Once you have one of the files installed, bring up or restart the ECMLink application. When you connect to your ECU, you'll have a new direct access entry that corresponds to the file you placed into that “records” directory above.
Simple binary files
Simply change the one cell in these tables to “0” to disable the corresponding function and hit Save to ECU.
