Strange AFR from Serial ZT-2 -- OFF by Factor of 10!

[mr.prick]

From the picture it looks like there are 2 null modems connected to a gender-bender.
Try using one null modem and the V2's serial cable to the DB9-RJ12 adapter.

BTW your V2 appears to be faded or are the blue now?

For some reason my V2 did not come with the DB9 Serial cable????? I thought it was suppose to?

As far as I am aware the Zt2 does not provid e fuel pressure signal, unless you are using the USER defined values in the Zt2-s data stream.
If that is the case FlashScan does not currently log the USER defined values.

Yeah the fuel pressure is a USER input into the Zt2. So yes its in the USER defined value of the data stream. Oh well, maybe someday.

You need a null modem adapter not a gender bender.


This thread explains why two DCE devices (or two DTE devices) cannot be directly connected without a null modem adapter:
http://forum.efilive.com/showthread....hat-goes-to-v2

PC = DTE device
V2 = DCE device
WB = DCE device

So, the following connections work:
- PC -> V2
- PC -> WB
- V2 -> null modem adapter -> WB

A null modem adapter says "null modem" on it.


Your cable looks over-engineered... look at post #3 in that thread... or cut up your cables and solder them together with the Tx/Rx pins swapped.

The black piece is a female-female null modem connector, the other two are just gender benders. I think I need to get the smaller null modem in that other post, which is a male-male connector

If bought new, it should have. -> Spare Parts

Looks like I had it backwards.
With the pinout above can you just plug the zt-2 cable into the V2?

Yeah I need the third cable down on the "Spare Parts" page.

The Zt2 cable physically plugs into the V2 but in order for it to work you need to swap the two pins, hence the need for the null modem connector and the serial cable shown above.

The serial cable was removed from the parts list for FlashScan about 6-9 months ago.
It was been re-introduced as standard about 1 month ago.

In the US you can purchase spare serial cables for EFILive's distributors, listed here:

Correction. The serial cables are being added back into the product in the September 2011 shipments from EFILive. So the boxed product with serial cables will start to filter out to Resellers/Customers after that.
Sorry for any confusion. I should have checked my facts before posting...
