    [QUOTE=Rusty]Ok.. Another failed test. I do have the ALL selected on the PID tab.QUOTE]

    Along the bottom bar of the PIDs tab are three status indicators; Total PIDS, Selected PIDs and Selected Channels. You should have 24 or less selected channels showing (selected PIDs could be as many as 24, more likely a few less though). If you're showing 0 (zero) then you need to double click on some of the PIDs to select them.

    Also is your PID file "Default Metric.pid" ?

    On the PID tab at the bottom:
    Total PIDs: 303 Selected PIDs: 0 Selected Channels: 0 of 96 Maximum

    The PID File is Default.pid

    FYI: I slected all the rows in this table before logging last time. I did this by using cantrol-a. Please tell me that I am doing some thing wrong.

    Always happy to oblige

    No probs, the problem is you haven't selected any pids for the scanner to read, hence it's just connected...twiddling it's thumbs and giving up in a sulk

    You need to double click each PID that you wish to log, once a PID is selected it turns from a grey thing to a black thing (picture attached in a minute if it works...)

    ...So, in the photo above I've selected 13 PIDs and then sorted them to be all at the top of the list (click on the "description" column to do a re-sort), and they are shown with the black speedo Icon next to them, all PIDs below those are "available" to be selected, but won't be logged until they are double clicked.

    If you get it right then when you start logging (engine off) you should see your Engine Coolant Temp show something sensible (ie, not freezing or boiling), which is a very good indicator that you are on the right lines.

    Hope this helps

    Rusty,

    I sent Paul a pm on your behalf.

    Try what Jim said.

    On the PIDs tab, do the selected PIDs have no red X thru them and are they not greyed out...?
