    Default Cannot Communicate with Flashscan

    Yesterday and I updated a tune and updated my PCM. Did some logging and made some changes to the tune-up. Uploaded that change to the PCM. Following that, I could no longer log and data. I was getting a 2031 error, which I posted under scanning. No suggestions so far.

    last night I updated to the newest USB drivers. As of today, I could not even log onto Flashscan. getting a no communication error and of course, I cannot log either.

    I re-installed EFIlive and restored original drivers fro USB. Still no luck. The cable shows the USB and OBDII lights flashing.

    Outside of the forum, what is the best way to get tech support from EFILive?

    I have two emails on the matter from Blacky. Niether fixed the issue. I was hoping for a quicker fix. We are sending and receiving one email every 24 hours.

    The only option I can figure out is the possibility of a bad fuse for he OBDII connector. I checked my manual and reviewed each fuse and could find a bad fuse or a fuse specifically fr that purpose.

    Any ideas? car is an 02 Z06

    I'd double check the USB cable where it connects to flashscan. I had that issue a while back and it looked like the connection was fine, but it wasn't plugged in all the way. Needless to say, I felt rather dumb for a minute or two.

    My notebook has 3 USB ports. I tried them all. Notebook is recognizing USB EFI cable. I have split the EFILive cable and the USB cable, I have tried rebooting the notebook, I have tried numerous times to verify the connection at the ALDL. I have unloaded almost but the most necessary programs that normally run in the background. Something changed or failed yesterday after my last tune upload.

    If it recognizes the cable then it seems like the problem is with the vehicle.

    Can/Have you tried another vehicle?

    Notebook recognizes USB cable from EFI. Problem is between USB port and car. Maybe ALDL but I cannot find a bad fuse.

    I only have one GM car in family.

    EFI popup refers to possible trouble with OBDII connect. I am assuming they are referring to ALDL.

    I just checked the lighter. It works fine.

    Someone on another forum had the same problem but in a Camaro. ALDL was on same fuse as lighter. Just wonder if Vet is different.

    I just saw this thread and your email. I am stumped on this one. If you are taling with Paul on the matter he should be able to get you all fixed up. :(
