    You should start from the basic steps:
    1. Check the ECU sticker, Google the model number and check if the unit is compatible
    with your vehicle.
    2.if the unit is the right one for your car try to disconnect the battery for at least 15
    minutes then connect your diagnostic machine to the car.
    Make sure to use VIN detector first, if the same problem occurred then try to choose
    the car model manually by selecting the model, if the problem still exist it might mean
    that your car is remapped and the programmer has locked the ECU, in this case you
    need a new ECU and your data should be cloned from the old ECU, or if you can find an
    ECU specialist who is able to flush your existing g ECU and restore it to the default
    values.

    Best of luck.
