    Default RR is failing as soon as it tries to update realtime data

    I'm in OLSD mode right now TRYING to tune my VE table. RR allows a read/write, but when I put it in realtime mode and it starts to update, it fails immediately stating it can not comm w/RR, locking the pc until I reboot.

    Has anybody experienced this and how did you fix it? I am using a direct cable not bluetooth.

    what version of firmware is installed on the RR?
    do you have the latest driver installed?

    I think its 12.14.R. I will go out and check. Also, I have build 64 of EFI Live, I guess thats the latest.

    I just got a new RR today. I used the same software and setup to use the old one w/out problem. The only diff is I installed that blasted bluetooth driver. I wonder if somehow that is a problem. BTW, I am not using BT.

    your symptoms of a dropped connection and frozen PC are what i got
    way back when i first got mine,
    it had the old (12.13.R) firmware and an older driver.
    upgrading both of those stopped the locking software.
    make sure your firewall is not the problem,
    mine tends to not tell me that it is blocking an application or port
    unless i have it running in the back ground.
    other than a hard reset that`s all i can think of.

    I looked at Firewall (AVG) and that doesn't look like a problem.
    Ver = 12.14.R
    I don't get the hard reset. Just flip it to flash mode, write the bin, then go back to EMU?

    Default More Problems--surprise

    Answer = Take RR apart, direct hook up to mini-onboard USB. worked flawlessly after that. guess I have to catch up
    on using BlueTooth technology.

    with ignition on, toggle from emulation to flash and then back to emulation.
    sometimes you need to download the tune to the RR to make it reboot.

    Thanks, I went ahead and did that as an added precaution.
    I think its working ok now.

    I took a drive in 101F earlier and no failure for 30 mins straight. I ended up completely disassembling the PCM and removing the round pin connector. That apparently is a possible source of problems according to Craig M. I then went directly to the RR pcm board's mini-usb.

    Now, for a whole new problem. When I use the Exclusion filters and add
    "exclude" "greater than " 60% tp, the RR stops working at idle. As soon as I click it off, on comes the RR again. I wonder if thats programmed correct...

    You got a reply from Craig on this issue..well...aren't you the lucky one..Lol!
    I got '0' support on this issue and it's obvious I'm not a 'one off'.
    Quite a few have had this issue.
    At present I have a USB extension cable connected to the RR USB cable (still plugged into that round plug) and then to the USB port on my laptop.
    When looking at the flat RR USB plug....it looks like the pins are slightly narrower than the other USB cables I have. I tried everything and it used to either drop out as soon as it started updating or 5mins down the road.
    Nothing else has issues in the USB ports on my laptop so it's not the ports.
    I might pull the PCM open and connect an RJ45 plug inside it and run straight to that.

    Let us know how it goes.

    P.S. You don't need to reboot when it locks up. Pull the USB cable and just plug it back in. Then start the RR again.

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

    I have not had a failure since I plugged in to the mini onboard usb port on the RR. The RJ45 sounds like a good idea too. The problem I have w/the RJ45 idea is this same path is causing the problem w/data transmission, so it is possible you will still have data problems. Bypass this w/the mini-usb.
    I could not get the bluetooth to work, but Craig stated data transmission errors were reduced w/it too.
