Keep getting this error when I try to read a guys 2004 GMC truck :

Can read the PCM with Tune Tool , just can't connect with Scan Tool .

You're connecting to FlashScan only... tell it to connect to the PCM.

May 19th update, testing on LS1B:
- scantool connects/logs ok in passthru mode (OBD-II stuff and DVT stuff works),
- BBL mode logs ok,
- Diagnostics displayed/saved ok.
- Clear DTC: V2 says "Error $0281" but it does clear the DTC.

? , I selected the correct PCM from the drop down list , like a thousand times before .
Was default set to "FlashScan/AutoCal only" this update ?

If FlashScan cannot communicate with the vehicle, it will report back to the EFILive software that only a connection to FlashScan was made. That has the same effect on the rest of the software as if you had selected "FlashScan only" from the list of controllers to connect to.

If you're not getting a connection to the vehicle, watch the [Console] tab page and note what is displayed when FlashScan is attempting to communicate with the ECM, PCM and TCM modules.

I just tried it again , and made for certain that the correct controller was selected , same error .
This is what happened , plugged to ODBII port , then Laptop opened Scan Tool , selected correct PCM controller , pressed the "green" button , Scan Tool appeared to load , hit "yellow" button and got the error reported .

The ignition is on right?

Press Ctrl+Ok on FlashScan. Do you get the VPW or CAN message in the lower right corner of the FlashScan display?

Does the right hand side orange LED flash when you cycle the ignition off then on?
