Default EFILive Question

I haven't heard back from EFI Forum - thought I would ask here -

Restricted to: Personal Scan&Tune (no cable) ???


I can't get the cable connection to work - does the above "(no cable)" mean I am wasting my time?

I have tried reloading the com drivers - both kinds - and either it will crash the laptop or it will not recognize a cable connection !!

Getting very frustrated!!

Have you went to your device manager and made sure it's assigned to the right comm port?

PM'd

I will try to check the com port assignment - but nowhere does it tell you what com port to use - if you can only use one? It doesn't load the driver initially - until the USB cable is connected from the FlashScan V2 device - far as I can tell. So when you plug it in - on whatever com port - it loads the driver - at least that is what I have observed so far?

Thanks for the reply !!

If it's recognizing it when you plug it in, and self installing the driver, that sounds like it's working correctly.

Does it complete the driver install, and give you the dialog box which says so? Then what do you do, and what does it say?

I checked that it appears and has the proper Device Instance path in the Device Manager. • FlashScan V2: USB\VID_0403&PID_E4A1\FSV2

However non of the EFILve modules recognize the FlashScan - keeps telling me "no cable"....

The FlashScan V2 is connected to the laptop and has a menu screen showing on the device - but I can't get the software to recognize it...

We will need to try another FlashScan V2 unit...
after the tech folks at EFILive determined there was nothing wrong in the setup configurations.

The OBDII port has a fuse---If the fuse is blown you will get a "no cable"--or " no device" message--- GM hides the fuse--it's the cigarette lighter fuse----Many times with cell chargers and alike this fuse blows--
