Please Help To Connect 156 JTS 2004

Hi Guys Ive been struggling to connect my 156 ECU to Multiecuscan (free trial) and I'm hoping for some help.

I'm using a switchable blue VAG/KKL USB cable (bought from Ebay)

I have installed the drivers on the laptop, and checked the port setting (COM 3)

Every time I try to connect to the ecu it fails to connect.

I have tested the Latency in the program and it states Min Latency 16ms Maximum latency 17ms (from memory.)

Is there something I'm missing? Desperately trying to figure out why I get the Engine Control Unit fault.

Thanks for your time It is much appreciated.

Jarrad.

By the way, the key is in the on position, and it is a Manual car, not Sellespeed.

Hello

Which driver you have installed for this switchable KKL interface?
The drivers on the CD are sometimes outdated

Try to use this driver

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm


The latency time should be set to 1 ms, which is normal to 16 ms.

And should the test for MES / settings / interface / test

Be higher than 10 ms. bottom right of the frame should be set a hook at "high latency mode".

In some cases, it also helps to select a different COM port.

Just try the different proposals

Greetings Eddy

Hi Eddy Thanks for the quick reply. I will have another go with these new drivers, as I was using a driver from the CD that accompanied the KKL cable.

However I am unsure as to where to change the latency setting, where do I find that option?

Also I am using Windows 8. If it Makes a difference.

Take care,

Jarrad

Hi Jarrad

I do not know Windows 8
But on the home page of Multiecuscan is this that may Framework needs to be installed.

The latency time is set for other operating systems as follows.

Control Panel / Device Manager / comport / properties / advanced / Latency Time
Here, the value can be changed in a drop down box

Thanks so Far Eddy, Unfortunately Ive still had no luck in connecting to the ECU.

Here's what Ive tried since:

Updated to new Driver (64bit)
Adjusted latency to 1ms
Tried changing the com port (com port 1)

Still no luck.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks in advance
