Connection Error

Post by b00sted »

I have been getting the connection error. i have tried it with an older laptop that has serial. it would connected for a second or two but then the connection error pops up. I also tried it on a newer laptop with the keyspan USA-19HS USB to serial adapter. It does the same thing. It connects for a second or two then the connection error shows up. I'm still able to display the ECU stuff like serial number, boost option, 3 step, and the datalog. Does anyone know what i might be doing wrong? Thanks

On the ECU button make sure you have it selected as OBD1 V3.

i checked the ECU tab and it's on obd1 V3. i ran my laptop on a friends s200 and it works. in my car though in the error box it flashes between 8-10 errs/s. i dunno what else it could be.

What is your serial number and is the light on the interface box flashing or solid?

The light is still solid and the serial number is s200-03772.

You say it will work on other s200s. Are they in the same ecu or the same car? HAve you tried this interface box with a different ecu?

we tried it on two different P72 ecu's. the one out of my car doesn't work but the other one in the other gsr works fine. Does it have to deal w/ the boost option because the one that works doesn't have boost. Does it erase anything if i switch out the interface boxes??

Try switching the interface boxes, it will not erase anything.

Not if all you are doing is testing datalogging.
