    I don't think its a problem with the RC5 stuff. That why I made a new thread. I was having the same problem before the upgrade from RC4.

    Which vehicle (i.e. which controller) are you attempting to log data from?

    If you select an option that has a separate ECM and TCM (i.e. E38+T43) but you have a manual vehicle (i.e. if one of the controllers does not exist), then you will get a $0281 error. That is because FlashScan does not receive any data from the non-existent trans controller.

    If that is the case, then either edit the setting to remove the trans controller or make a new entry with only the ECM specified.

    Regards
