Ran into a few issues while playing with the scan tool that hopefully someone can help me with.
I hook up my v2 and turn the key on, click the "connect to vehicle button", choose my ECM and it connects. That's when I ran into a couple issues that I can't figure out. I'm sure I'm missing a step or something. Anyhow, the first one is with the OBD II tab. I click on this then the DTC tab and then I press Shift F8. Most of the time this doesn't do anything even though I have a check engine light illuminated. The "engine" buttons are grayed out as well.
2nd, what is the keyboard shortcut to open up the predefined pids list? Half the time I open the scan tool it's up there and the other half not. I'm not sure what I'm doing to prevent it from coming up automatically.
3rd, when I go to disconnect, the program locks up... every time. I have to disconnect the v2 by unhooking the cable otherwise it will just sit there saying "disconnecting". I can't close Scan V7.5 at all without disconnecting the usb from my v2, not even by going to windows task manager and forcing it to close.
I upgraded to V7.5.7 Build 209 and V8.2.1 Build 200 before doing this. Also updated my firmware and bootblock. Laptop runs Vista 32. Any help is greatly appreciated.
