wont hook to truck

[crash85]

when i go to hook to the truck to log or to load a tune it wont do nothing it says it is connecting but it never does and it says that its not responding what do i need to do ?

[joecar]

Are you connecting using V2 and laptop or using V2 only (no laptop)...?

What V7 and V8 build versions...?

What V2 bootblock and firmware versions...?

[crash85]

yea iam using a laptop bootblock 2.07.03 firmware 2.07.22 i updated it yesterday but i cant pull up the build versions to see if they got the updated loaded

What type of truck is this by the way?

[joecar]

[joecar]

Your PC freezes...?

See post #2: Hosting-an-Image (http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?3064-Hosting-an-Image)

[crash85]

yea it freezes up until i unplug the v2 then it will load up

[joecar]

Try this:

Start->All Programs->EFILive->V7.5->Tools->USB Manager...

in the mini-app that pops up, click Uninstall USB Drivers, then click Install USB V2.02.04.

I expect that the 2.02.04 drivers will resolve this issue for you with the V7 software.

ok i got it to hook up to the truck but i dont have half of my pids i used to i was going to check my balance rates and they are not on my list at all whats upwith that

[joecar]

Did you do Validate Pids...?

[crash85]

they are not even on the list to pick them

[ScarabEpic22]

they are not even on the list to pick them

Exactly, so you need to follow Joe's post and Validate the PIDs. Then they will be available in the list. Edit->Validate PIDs in the Scan tool.

[crash85]

ok i thought that he was saying i need to select them then i could scan it il try that and see thanks

[crash85]

ok i went and Validated my pids while it was hooked up and still dont have none of what i had. what am i doing wrong

[crash85]

i got to looking at it and i dont have any of my diesel pids at all

[ScarabEpic22]

Did you make sure you selected the proper controller when you went File -> Connect? Mine defaults to the FlashScan/AutoCal only option sometimes. Try it again with the E40 LB7 (03 Dmax) or E35A LBZ (06 Dmax) controller selected. Then click Edit->Validate PIDs.

[joecar]

In scantool, goto each of these and enter/select the info:
- File->Enter VIN
- File->Select Controller




Post a screenshot.

[crash85]

yea i selected the right one and went to validate PIDs and still didnt get nothing. i did what you said to do a screen shot and it wouldnt do it ill try again

[crash85]

ok i put the vin in and then selected the controler and validated my pids but still no diesel pids iam trying to get a screen shot but havent figured it out

[crash85]

could i uninstall efi and reinstall it?

When you post a screen shot, please include the entire screen. The most important info that I need to see is not visible. See the info circled in red in my screen shot, I need to see that. Better still, after you attempt to validate the PIDs, please select the menu option: File->Generate Error Report. Save the error report and post it here - or email it to me at [email protected].
