    Default Connection drops

    Since the last update my precious V2 looses connection to
    the PCM while logging for unknown reasons.
    This is unpredictable and quite annoying.
    Am I the only one going through this?

    No, there have been some other reports of this also. We still don't know what is causing it.
    If you are able to reproduce it consistently, please document the conditions so we can try and reproduce it here.

    I thought I could reproduce it, but I can't.
    I happens sometimes and sometimes it does not.
    All I know is that it start immediately after the new FW.

    If I power off the V2 then reconnect it will be fine.

    Any news on this?
    Can I go back to the previous FW without consequences?

    I can't log balance rates anymore.. Not sure if it was after the EDC16 DSP updates or not.

    I've had this happen before on my earlier version,but I put it down to the small lap top going to sleep. It was a very long log though about an hour an a half.

    I have been trying to get a scan on a 97 lumina 3.1 I had given to me.
    but it will not allow me to see the standard pids. for example when i try to access the vss it is listed as not currently valid.
    Also when I try to get DTCs it stalls the car. this battery is so bad it will not start the car again without a boost.
    I'm posting to this thread as I'm pretty sure the cause is the bad battery which I need to replace. may or maynot be the cause of some disconnects some have had.
    Any thoughts

    Alex,

    Did you validate pids after connecting to the 97 Lumina...?
