Woolich Racing provides hardware and software solutions for writing tune files to the ECU, thereby modifying the vehicle performance. This all relies on our Woolich Racing Tuned software being able to communicate with the ECU via a communication interface like a Log Box or USB. If there are problems with communication it is important to be able to quickly test the interface and its basic functions.
This guide explains how to test the Mitsubishi USB / Log Box / Log Box Pro v2 interfaces.
In the Woolich Racing Tuned software in the "Tools" menu there is an item for "Test Interface", this allows the basic interface communications to be tested as shown below.

Note: The following only applies to the Mitsubishi USB / Log Box / Log Box Pro v2 interfaces as shown in the images below. If you need to test a different interface, please use the links at the bottom of this article.



To Test Flashing Mode
1. Ensure the interface is NOT plugged into an ECU.
2. Ensure you have the Interface powered with 12V connected to pin 5 and Ground connected to pin 8 on the Interface.
If you have a bench harness to suit the Mitsubishi Interface you can connect the 8-pin Molex connector and power supply.

If you only have a power supply you can connect to the interface as below.

3. Connect the USB cable from the Interface to the computer.
4. Move the mode switch on the interface to the right hand side position to the Read / Write mode (red LED on).
5. Open the Woolich Racing Tuned software, go to "Tools" then click on "Test Interface".

Voltage Tests on Mitsubishi v2 Interfaces ONLY
Use a multimeter in a DC voltage setting to perform the following tests.
1. Connect the USB cable from the Interface to the computer.
2. Move the mode switch on the interface to the right hand side position to the Read / Write mode (Red LED on).
3. Connect the Interface with a 12V DC power supply either by the bike ignition with an on bike harnesses or with the 12V DC power supply using a bench harnesses connected to the 8-pin Molex connector. Ensure the interface is NOT plugged into an ECU.
4. Measure the voltage between pin 3 and pin 8 on the interface, this should be 11.5V -13.5V when in flashing mode (red LED on).
5 . Measure the voltage between pin 4 and pin 8 on the interface, this should be 14.0V - 16.0V when in flashing mode (red LED on).
The plug pin out schematic above shows the 8-pin Molex socket on the Interface
