Help with version 1.6 and M.1.5.5

Hello,

Congratulations on this exciting new software. It looks very good and I'm happy that it now supports M.155 ECUs.

But not for me, at least, not yet. So please help.

I tried to connect to my Alfa Romeo 2.0 TS 16V 1999 with a M.155 but it keeps disconnecting everytime I try to read the sensors. I can see the ECU data information and error codes but as soon as I try to read the sensor data or erase the error or reset the actuator it disconnects. I lowered the COM port latency time to 1 but it didn't help.

Also, there are 2 different M.155 ECUs to choose from, one says '98 and seems to work. If I choose the other I get wrong ISO code when I connect. Which one is the correct for my car and how do I know?

Cheers,
Marcos

Hello!

Many thanks for this great soft, especially with free version which looks much better than Unidiag.

But, (there always a but ;) I've got the same problem like BR-Scan, in almost every detail (I've got Alfa156 1.8 TS 2000).

I suppose i shouldn't use definitions which tells that ISO code is invalid, obviously.
That '98 defs connects without any errors but if i only mark a parameter to check it disconnects.

What's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Maser,

I fixed this when I started to use the ELM327 interface, no more disconnections, works like a dream with my 156 2.0 1999. My ELM 327 is a clone, not the genuine chip, but even though it works fine. If you don't have ELM you should get one, it's worth, and I recommed the genuine one, which I'm also getting.

Cheers!

Hello BR-Scan!

Thanks for explanation and guidelines!
I've got VAG-KKL cable only.
I read that ELM327 is for newer ECUs - cars made after 2001. Also heard it doesn't work with Alfadiag and Unidiag so I've just bought VAG :x

Now, I'm looking for an answer, maybe I'll find it.

Cheers.
