Boot Mode Probe: Test Probe

Boot mode flashing enables direct communication with a controller by opening the controller housing and connecting directly to specific points on the circuit board. This method provides the highest level of access, but it requires precise and stable probe placement to ensure reliable communication.

The MPS 1 SW HIRSCHMANN T&M Measuring Tip is a precision probe tip designed for accurate electrical testing and signal measurement on tightly packed circuit boards.

It features a fine, rigid needle point that allows you to make reliable contact with small pads, vias, pins, and test points without slipping or bridging adjacent components. This makes it especially well suited for ECU and TCU work, including boot-mode access, voltage checks, continuity testing, and signal verification on modern automotive controllers.
