Re: A problem with an automotive trouble codes diagnosis device

Hi
Well in the device management any? Marks Showing next to the driver . If yes then you need to locate the correct driver once that is gone then you need to see why it's not communicating . Start with different cable.

Nope, for this point I actually haven't seen any since the first time I tried it, watch this video that I've uploaded on Youtube a while ago that shows everything I'm facing and for the device manager notice at first minute of the video at 00:42 that there's a drive known as (I+ME Actia XS Device) with no marks next to it !

elm thing is a joke .. ross tech is good as does programming but only for vag group .am looking at trying a Delphi for use with laptop pc next .

Clone Passthru is not bad at all as well, just giving You an advice to purchase the 2011 version and get some rework done on it for a stable and quick performance in a addition to a hex dump for the latest software version for PIC chip on the board and You're good to go !
Need more on that, talk to me and I'll give You the full guide.

as little complications as is possible . and late version . up to say 2016 should be fine ,i do have an all in one scanner but only a cheap launch viii that sometimes tells lies giving me codes for things that are not even fitted to the cars . and incorrect voltages and sensors output values ,

Launchs are actually known to perform better with asian manafacturers, for European and American cars You'd better go with Autel such as (MS906 - MS908).

Re: A problem with an automotive trouble codes diagnosis device

Could the usb cable be the reason behind it ? it's 4 wires black (ground) - Green (Data +) - White (Data -) - Red (5V).
My idea is to replace it with a Printer cable and have the red wire disconnected as this dude did before as mentioned in this link: https://cartechnology.co.uk/showthre...light=fantomel (Post #34).

after looking at the ds150e clones that look very similar some are reporting they wont work on 64 bit systems . maybe it could be that and needs 32 bit .

Here is my China unit, I chopped the original cable off and used an old printer cable, its been working OK, sometimes very slow connecting.
I will change the small parts on the PCB to see if it helps, will the CTX50-1P be OK or is it best I change it ?
Said that guy I told about.

I've kept it in mind as the vendor instructs to install it on only 32 bit OS.

So you are using the serial port on your computer now?

I mean the modern printer usb cable !

Re: A problem with an automotive trouble codes diagnosis device

o.k. so you have to have a bad cable or a bad USB port on the OBDII device then.

no, he cut the red so the computer does not power the device.
it's possible that it overloads some laptops - a desktop would have unlimited current.

then that would be good anyway no matter I kept the red wire or cut it ?

and how does this programmer power up without 5V and only have the GND, Data - and Data + connected? I don't understand that.

Interesting to see if there is a short between 5V and GND on that circuit board?

Re: A problem with an automotive trouble codes diagnosis device

will power up from the cars obd port
