got my lead all made up and used it sucessfully, i then tried a couple of days later to use again and it kept saying no response from ECM so i tested the lead in the way the guide said "A very basic test could be done using hyper terminal (Start -> Run -> hypertrm.exe). Open a new session using the new virtual com port and (important!) set flow control to "none". Then shorten the yellow (pin 3) and the orange (pin 1) wires together using a straightened paper clip or something similar. Every keypress in the hyperterm window should be echoed immediately. If not, check if flow control is disabled and you're using the correct port" absolutley nothing, ive tred uninstalling and reinstalling, unplugging, changing ports, system restoring on pc but no joy at all. is it possible for the lead to die, they seem so well sealed i wouldnt imagine you could damage them in any way. but now ive modded the cable by chopping the end off i dont think they will be inclined to swap it for another one. is there any other tests i can do to find out if it is 100% the cable at fault |
