[Chalky]

I just updated. Using v7 scantool, all go well until I try and scan, I start the scan, but no gauge movement or any data recorded. when I shut down scantool, it asks me to save the data but I have tried to do that as I assume it is not even recording.

Any ideas?

[Blacky]

When the V7.5 software is supposed to be recording data, are the leftmost green and orange LEDs on FlashScan flashing?
Green = USB data to the PC,
Orange = OBDII data from the vehicle.

After you stop it recording (even if its recorded nothing), can you please generate an error report (File->Generate Error Report) and send it to me at paul@efilive.com.

Thanks
Paul

Good news. I deleted EFILive installed package, loaded up an older version and all was fine. May have been a bad install because when I treied to delete program, Windows would not recognize installed program.

I then reinstalled latest EFILive version and recording in scantool was fine.

Thanks for the quick response.

I "retired" from driving about 2 months ago dur to increased cost vs income,
so my v2 sat unused for awhile...
Is there a way to do a complete reset to completly clear out the unit and start again?
BTW.... 7 years and over 900,000 miles and all states except Washington and Oregon.

You cannot clear out the licensing oriented stuff (we'd go broke), but you can format the Config and Data filesystems to remove all content and start again.

Not sure what you mean by reset the device, but to get it back to as close to factory setup as possible do this:

1. Download and install the latest V7.5 and V8 software from here: http://www.efilive.com/index.php?opt...=48&Itemid=133
2. Update your firmware to the latest firmware available, read this document: Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->Documents->Upgrading Firmware
3. Format the [Config] file system using the [Format] button on the [Config] tab page of the V8 EFILive Explorer program
3a. OR to format the Config file system and clear all the config settings in one go: Power off FlashScan, wait 10 seconds, hold down the F1 key on FlashScan's keypad while powering-up FlashScan.
4. Remove any SD Card and format the [Data] file system using the FlashScan menu options: F4 Options -> F2 File System -> F3 Format File Sys.
5. Replace the SD Card (if you have one) and perform step 4 again to format the SD Card.

As Andrew said above, you cannot clear out the VIN licensing data.
