Diagnosing "Failed to unlock protocol"

Most of the time ECU flashing works without a problem but there is always the small chance that something could go wrong.  ECUs from different manufacturers all have their unique characteristics as well as potential problems too.

The Woolich Racing Tuned software is used to read/write information from an ECU and uses different communication protocols based on the specific ECU.  Sometimes there are problems with the communication and an error like "Failed to unlock protocol" is shown in the software.

This error can occur on ECUs from different manufacturers.

If you see this error when working on a Harley Davidson ECU, please see this article: Diagnosing Harley Davidson "Failed to unlock protocol"

If you see this error on a bike/ECU which is not a Harley Davidson, please Open a new Support Ticket so that we can assist you further.
