I am having a lot of issues with connection of my V2, I use it every day and have a list as long as my arm of connection issues that I just can’t solve so some direction and help would be a great as I am really getting close throwing my lap top across the dyno room.
Some of the issue are,
When reading an E38 it will connect and start reading but about half way through it will stop reading and lock the tune tool.
When trying to program after using the scan tool it goes through all the connecting stages, reads serial numbers etc but when it try’s to erase the ECU it comes up with the following message “not able to determine license status” (I have an unlimited license) I have to unplug the unit from the car and USB port for it to work, if I don’t us the scan tool in between programming I have no issues.
The scan tool freezes half way through a power run and restarts around 1500rpm later, other programs keep running at the same time so I don’t think its the laptop.
When programming a LS1 PCM around 50% of the time it will scan for the cable, recover V2 scan cable serial number etc but just before it try’s to erase the PCM it comes up with “no cable” I press enter and most of the time it will start over and then programme ok.
There are other issues but I just can’t remember them all at the moment.
We have two laptops both running windows7 we also have 2 V2 units and both have the same faults so i think it might be driver issue, I have the latest firmware and software, have reinstalled drivers, we have tried to run the FT cleaner but not 100% sure how it works so information on this would be great.
Thanks in advance for any info that might fix these issues.
