ECMSpy trouble

[scobbie001]

So, I got my cable, installed the driver, my device manager says it is under COM5, so I set ECMSpy to COM5. I get nothing, no error messages, nothing.

And yes the bike is switched on.

Any ideas?

click the button that has the keys after you use auto connect

 

[scobbie001]

I did. It just gave me a small table with TPS, WOT and other values...but still nothing. It said com5 opened at the bottom...that's all. If it's of any help, when I installed the cable drivers, everything seemem to go okay, but when I look at them in the device manager, it shows the driver as a ms driver and won't let me change it. I uninstalled them, but when I try to plug the cable back in it automatically recognizes it and loads the same drivers.

What is the Version of Windows you're working with? I've had massive problems with Vista and USB devices getting recognized. [mad] I Should've stuck with XP.

I use XP and have the same problem. I am going to try and get my I.T. guy at workto look at it but i would like to not have to bother him. Thanks or all the help in advance.

I dont see how you could have problems.. I use vista and first time worked fine. maybe you're missing a step..

Download this driver

This is the one I use and it works and its an exe so its way easy and works
for xp and vista

Bump my rep if I help good luck

Open ecmspy
plug bike in
Turn key on
Turn kill switch to RUN
go to options/communications
Hit auto detect and ok
hit the button with keys
info should fill the empty boxes

Should work for you

can some one plz. put up the link to downloading the English ecmspy program....thanks
i have try ed to download it and when i hit the English version it still comes up in german when the download is done.

 

[Stevenc150]

I used the following link, and downloaded the one at the top of the page and it was English. ECMSpy Homepage

 

[Trill]

I just went in the options tab and chose the english language. Was kinda hard to find with dutch language at first lol.

ok you say that it connects but you cannot get your eprom

did you go to maps and hit fetch maps? or fetch eprom? Try that.

If that doest work you might have to look at your plug and make sure the pins are seated correctly in the deutch connector

 

[Trill]

scobbie what year xb do you have?

 

[matter]

If you haven't already, be sure to click on "view" at the top and set to "professional" if you can't see the e-prom's, etc.

Matt

 

[Trill]

Thanks for adding that matter, I forgot

 

[scobbie001]

When I say connect, I mean the computer recognized the plug..not that ECMSpy actually did anything. I will try the view function...I haven't had much time to play with it...15 hour days will do that. Trill...I have an '03 9R

 

[firechickenXB9R]

I have a 03 9R to. may there is something with are bikes?
