Hello all, having hell of a problem connecting my S60 ECU to the computer and I am in need of some help in doing so.
It was working well until last week (no computer updates and have check USB driver) using prolific chip set
The ECU has been back to DTA and checked out, All is good.
But I am still having problems getting the computers to connect
I get the program to open V78.01 and then after about 5 sec I get a message saying
ECU not responding, please try again.
and
reading map
on the bottom of the screen in red is
downloading map block 3 check sum errors 0
thanks
mark

I had a particular laptop that would drop the usb when on battery, when running from power supply it stayed connected fine. I also used a Prolific cable, but was connecting to a different brand ecu.. Something to consider.

Check the serial cable between ECU(15 pin) and USB adapter(9 pin), maybe one(some) wire is lose.

Yes, check for continuity between pins 1-5, pin to pin between either ends of your serial cable.
Then check that you have the correct driver installed for your serial adaptor, sometimes Windows automatically updates to a newer one that wont work. do a full uninstall then re-install adaptor as per DTA instructions on the website download.
