You need to provide a little more information such as the ECU's BCC, its mask ID and the hardware you are using to interface with the ECU.

I am not familiar with your 16196395 ECU but usually you cannot read the calibration out from the ECU directly using TunerPro. It is more common to put the EPROM or Memcal (with an adapter) into an EPROM/EEPROM programmer (such as the Moates Burn1/2) and then use TunerPro to read the chip's contents via the programmer.

I would do that but I have the xgpro TL866IIPlus Programmer and this wants to know the exact type (firm and type) of the eprom. So I thaugt I read bin with tunerpro and then programm it on a SSt 27SF512 ,that way I have it in spare and can play on the eraseable 27sf512. I can't find the maker of the original chips!

The EPROM type is listed on here https://xtronics.com/wiki/GM_ECU_eproms.html but not the manufacturer (I would not have thought that would have made a difference). The EPROM is probably soldered into a Memcal so you will either have to unsolder it or use an adapter such as the Moates HDR1.

I know all these sites but nowhere you can find the maker of the chip.
After a lot of trial and error I could finaly download the bin.The chip was a Philips 27c512
Thank you for your assistance.
