Haltech E11v2

[wasnt me]

so im having trouble getting my laptop to connect with my ECU. i have the correct program which i downloaded from the haltech website.

the connector that im using is a 9 pin from the ECU which converts it to usb....

maybe that is the problem....

what have other people been using any help would be great...

cheers luke

i had a few problems connecting mine...

restart your laptop and your ecu... when my battery went flat i couldn't connect untill i restarted the car (even after i charged the battery)

if you can try cranking your car...

So you're using a Serial RS232 to USB convertor?

Is the driver for the converter installed?

Which model converter are you using? Have you googled to see if it's a common problem using that ECU with that converter?

With the Haltech Software running, go to the "Setup" menu and then select "Program Setup" and finally select "Edit Com Port Details". You will probably find the default Com port is used by something else. Simply select the port you wish to use and you should be fine.

PS. Not all Serial to USB adapters will work. Haltech recommended a Dontronics to source a suitable adapter (ES-U-1001-R100/US232R-100).
