evoscan not work and error codes

[c0xxy]

heya peeps.

i'v recently bought eveoscan and an ebay cable to try do some logging (got a kanji ecu now) before i (fingers crossed) have another go at wiring the map2 in.
iv never managed to get evoscan to connect since getting it
i have 2.7 and 2.8 installed. windows 7 64bit. have downloaded ftdi? drivers.
i keep getting told no repsonse from ecu, same message with flashy dash on or off

thanks in advance

What cable did you buy? Chances are you'll have to modify it.

Join me in chat, I'll walk you through it.

Did you get it sorted? Mine does that sometimes with a dodgy connection between the cable and the cars ODB2 port. It also does it if the com channel is configured incorrectly.

[c0xxy]

nope. stupid thing

Was working with Ash for about an hour with this, he's trying to use a VAG-COM cable on his 64-bit Windows 7 laptop, he tried EvoScan v2.7 / 2.8 but those won't recognise serial-based cables, and v2.5 has permissions issues opening csv files.

Ash, did you try the instructions outlined in this thread (http://forums.evolutionm.net/6913689-post9.html)?

[c0xxy]

was appreciated. yeah, followed instructions
now it asks for registered e-mail and serial number and then says they are incorrect

[foxdie]

You have PM

[c0xxy]

thanks buddy. will try that tomorrow

2.5 connects to log, so big thanks to jason/foxdie for the help!
will have to see how well it logs later in week.
still says no repsonse from ecu for error codes.
cheers for help

I had difficulties reading the DTCs with my VAG-COM cable, I think the initialisation sequence is different and bridging pins 1 and 4 together (in your case with the switch) is perhaps tampering with this.

You may find that it's not possible at all to read DTCs with anything other than either a genuine MUT-II/III or a Tactrix / OpenPort cable.

iv finally wired my wideband to out put to pin 5 plug 4 as nj told.
although iv said earlier it connects to log... it doesn't actually log anything! nearly every field is a 0. coolant and air temps are both 380 or something... bit tired now. lol
anybody any help?
cheers

Pin 1 and 4 need to be shorted

not sure what you mean about pin 5

[c0xxy]

i have a switch to short 1+4 on obd. it connects, tells me link engaged :-S but no values all seem to go to 0 and do nothing?
think you told me to put a pin in 5th position on 4th ecu plug to allow logging of wideband thru evoscan. at least that's the position i wrote on me piece of paper.

Yeah sorry now makes sense to me :)

pin 5 on socket 4 is the secondary o/2 sensor - you need to select the tick box saying you want to capture the info

[c0xxy]

have done that... its not capturing any info at all tho, on anything

[Nick Mann]

Have you got anything selected to log? Sorry, silly question!

[c0xxy]

yup. it saves the log files too... hundreds of zeros, nothing changes

[c0xxy]

have now tried with another laptop and same problem. connects but shows 0's
