Thank you for the information. Just to clarify when I say there isn't an ECM present I mean a GM e38 or other GM ecm. The Mast ecm is hooked up and running when I am trying to get this to work. The ignition switch is on but the engine isn't running. I hear the fuel pump fire up and the CEL light comes on due to no oil pressure (its not running
When I hook up the flashscan 2 to the OBDII port it starts up and is getting 12 volt power on pin 16 and ground on pins 4 and 5. But when I tried to read the VIN or try to read trouble codes I get a no vehicle connected error and I get similar errors from the EFIlive software if I hook my laptop to the flashscan 2.
However when I use my laptop and the same flashscan 2 connected to a bench harness ECM plugged right to the transmission at Corvettes of Westchester we can program the transmission just fine.
So your understanding is that the Mast ECM has a 120ohm resistor to terminate the CAN bus? My next step was going to be to continuity test the high and low can bus wires from the obdII port all the way to the wiring harness on the transmission. the transmission shifts based on signals from the Mast ECM so I believe the high and low can bus wires from the ECM to the transmission are working but there could be a problem from the OBDII can bus wires to the ECM. In the mean time I am searching for an e38 ECM I can make a bench harness with.
THANK YOU!
