Fiat Punto Mk2 - KKL VAG - Airbag ECU - COM Port Error

Post by FPunto »

Hi guys,

I've got a KKL VAG - USB lead and the coloured adaptor set and I am trying to connect to the airbag ECU of my Fiat Punto 1999 1.2 8v.

I have the latest drivers installed from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and I have changed the latency to 1 in Device Manager as advised. I am running Windows 7 and Multiecuscan is being ran as administrator.

The adaptor is connected fine in Device Manager and when I scan for interfaces in the settings of Multiecuscan it finds my adaptor on the correct COM port as listed in Device Manager (COM5).

I have ran a test once the adaptor has been found and all results complete with no errors.

The KKL VAG lead is connected to my ECU using the correct red adaptor.

When I have selected my car make, model, airbag and airbag type I then press "F10" to connect and press "Y" at the adaptor message then I get the following error message:

"CONNECTION FAILED - The port 'COM1' does not exist. Check your cable and serial port settings!"

As stated, all settings look to be ok in both Device Manager and Multiecuscan settings and the test runs fine so what could the problem be?

If you could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Ben

Hello

["CONNECTION FAILED - The port 'COM1' does not exist. Check your cable and serial port settings!"
]

These display I also from time to time, then I prefer the interface to the USB and then on again.
Then I start Multiecuscan new and works properly thereafter.

Hi Eddy,

Thanks for your quick reply!

I've actually just tried the whole process again on a 17" laptop as I was using a 9" netbook and for some reason, on a netbook even when you maximise the settings window in Multiecuscan it doesn't show you the "Ok" button which you have to click to store the COM port settings before connecting to your vehicle. Using a laptop it showed all of the buttons and it worked perfectly first time.

Thanks again for your help.

Kind regards,
Ben
