Connecting LC1 to V2

[joecar]

Copy mr.pricks Settings.dat (unzipped from Settings.zip) to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\EFILive\V8\Config...

and then start the S&T software, goto F6: Device Settings,

Goto the tab F8: Serial I/O tab and check these settings:
- set Com Port to Wideband,
- set Wideband to Innovate,
- set Format to 1st or Both,
- Set Data Display to AFR and Lambda.

Goto the tab F6: BBL (Logging) and check these settings:
- set Automatically log external digital pids.

Then click Save to save to file, and then click Program to program these settings into your V2, and close S&T.

Then connect V2 to vehicle and to LC-1 (via serial cable with null modem adapter);

On the V2 keypad/LCD navigate Scantool->Data Logging->Display WO2...
you should now see wideband AFR and Lambda being displayed in real time.

I did exactly as specified in your instructions with no luck. It is so frustrating.

I found the Config folder under C>ProgramData>EFILive>V8>Config
That is the only different thing i did from your instructions since my PC is not layout the same way.

I did program the V2 at the end and all the settings i set under F8 was reflected in the V2 settings.

It still says W02 not found.

And you have the null modem adapter installed in between the LC-1 serial cable and the V2 serial cable...?

You have V2 plugged into vehicle OBD-II port...?

You have laptop disconnected from V2...?

You have the LC-1 null terminator plug (looks like a blanked out stereo plug) plugged into the LC-1's SERIAL IN jack...?

You have the LC-1 serial cable plugged into the LC-1's SERIAL OUT jack...?

If the LC-1 is transmitting serial data, and FlashScan is receiving it, then the second from the left orange LED will flash about once per second to indicate that serial data is being seen by FlashScan on the serial line. If that LED is not flashing then you should check the cables, connections, wiring and LC-1 configuration.

Yes i do have the adapter between the LC1 and V2.

Yes i did plug it in OBD-II Port while the car is running.

The laptop was not connected to the V2 at that time.

Im attaching a picture of the Null Model i got.

These two points are confusing me:
1. You have the LC-1 null terminator plug (looks like a blanked out stereo plug) plugged into the LC-1's SERIAL IN jack...?

2. You have the LC-1 serial cable plugged into the LC-1's SERIAL OUT jack...?

The LC1 have two cables (Out & In) as well as two analog signals wires.

I had the stereo plug out of the null modem connecting to OUT. I'm assuming that the signal is coming to the V2 from LC1 through the OUT LC1 plug. The other side that is connected to the null modem is going to the V2 RS232 slot.

I dont know what do you mean by connecting the LC-1 serial cable plugged into the LC-1's SERIAL OUT jack?

Here is another photo showing the plug that i usually connect to the LC1 OUT and the other side that goes in the RS232

From the LC-1 Manual:

6.2 Hooking up the LC-1 device to the computer
1. Connect the Serial OUT connection with the included 2.5mm stereo to DB-9 cable to a serial
port on your laptop.
2. Connect the terminator plug (2.5mm male plug with no cable) into the Serial IN connection of
the LC-1.

Do you have the terminator plug connected to the "IN" cable? If its not present then the LC-1 will NOT send data to FlashScan.

Maybe I'm not understanding what a terminator plug looks like.
Are you saying that both IN & OUT from the LC1 should be connected at the same time, one to the Null Modem going to RS232 and the other going directly to the PC via serial-stereo 2.5mm plug?

I only have one serial to stereo 2.5mm with the kit.

Connect like this:

LC-1 SERIAL IN <-- 2.5mm stereo terminator dead-end plug.

LC-1 SERIAL OUT --> LC-1 serial cable --> null modem adapter --> V2 serial cable --> V2.
