Hi,

 

It’s probably been asked many times before but I’ve done a search and can’t find much.

 

I can’t get my eBay cable to work with conzult. The cable is installed and showing at working on my pc but I’m still getting error 2 unable to connect no matter what I do. I’ve tried using all the USB ports.

 

Anyone got any pointers?

There are many cables that simply aren’t compatible with the ConZult software, have you had this cable working with ConZult previously? Have you tried to use it with other diagnostic software such as Datascan?

No it’s a new cable.

Check the comm port in Device Manager and make sure Consult is communicating with the correct one.

Yeh I’ve set comm port 2 in divice manger thinking I’ve done this right? Still nothing though.

I have a PLMS Cable from America and it had its own driver to work,Does the new lead you have not need one ?

Oh dear, this does not bode well for you been able to use the ConZult and understand it if you get it working.....:whistling:

Thank you for your infinite wisdom.....

Ah well the cd with the driver was broke in the bag.... Great. It seemed to install ok when first plugged in.

 

I’ll install Datascan and give that a go.

It may be worth taking a look at the ECUTalk website as you may be able to use their driver?

 

I'm far to tired to think to think to hard about it, but if i was trying the 'throw everything at it and see what works' approach i'd give this a try...

what is your cable model? you have to install the drivers that you find on the site nissan data scan, for the conzult software only the PLMS cable works, for the other cables you have to modify a protocol with FT prog

 

here is the method I used for my ECUTALK cable, given to me by Peter from ECUTALK

 

Here are steps to make it work.

 

> 1a). Install FTPROG - http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/FT_Prog_v3.6.88.402%20Installer.exe

>

> 1b). Plug in ECUTalk USB Cable (install drivers before you plug it in, if you havent already)

 

>

> 1c) Menu: Devices -> Scan and Parse. This then reads the ECUTalk USB chip.

>

> 2) Expand 'Hardware Specific' section, then click on 'Invert RS232 Signals'

>

> 3) On the right side, it will have 8 checkboxes - all of them wont be checked.

>

> 4) Check the one 'Invert CTS#'.

>

> 5) Menu: Devices -> Program

>

> 6) On the window that pops up, click the Program button. Click close, and close FT Proj

>

> 7) Close the program. Remove the ECUTalk cable from computer

>

> 8) Turn back on car - the USB port will get a new COM port probably (mine went from COM39->COM40) and install drivers again.

>

> 9) Try use conzult now, set the port in the settings, and tell me if it all works.

Cheers for that. I’ll take a look.

 

Haven’t had chance to look at it again yet.
