Scan parameter warning

[Chriskaw7r]

I get this warning when I first tried to start the scan tool. Any ideas how to fix it. Manufacturer enhanced OBDII parameters have not been loaded. It says my VIN is not supported.

Try going File->Enter VIN and enter a GM style VIN.

Look at this (red ink): showpost.php?p=116755&postcount=73 (http://forum.efilive.com/showpost.php?p=116755&postcount=73)

That is in the file C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration\sae_generic.txt.

Ok, locate the file sae_generic.txt in the folder C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration and open it with Notepad...

near the top of the file you will this (except for the red text):


# ==================================================
# VIN/config files
# ----------------
#
# This section determines which additional config file(s) should be loaded
# based on the VIN detected in the connected vehicle.

*VINCONFIG

#VIN Config file
#---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
1G......... gm_enhanced.prn (USA GM)
2G......... gm_enhanced.prn (Canada GM)
3G......... gm_enhanced.prn (Mexico GM)
4G......... gm_enhanced.prn (USA GM)
5G......... gm_enhanced.prn (USA GM)
6G......... gm_enhanced.prn (Australia GM)
6H......... gm_enhanced.prn (Australia Holden)
........... gm_enhanced.prn (ALL vehicles)


Copy/paste the line that is in red text after the 6H line...

Save the file and exit Notepad...

Restart the scantool.
