SS AFC V.2 help

[Metallic36]

Update on mine: everything went great, I set my com port thing to 4, then connected it to the AFC and with a little help I learned how to load a map and write it to the ECU.. worked great. Hopefully SS will be able to figure out what's going on with yours.

worst comes to worst they will tear the unit apart and redo it

Sorry to resurrect an old post but Im having the same problem. Now when i go into device manager it says: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

Now when I try to install drivers it cant find them. Im using the serial to usb connector. The cord came with cd which I put in which I thought should have a right install driver?

In device driver it has a big yellow question mark.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

try port 8 on the program for your comp. the last port on the list...mine wouldnt connect either until i tried that and it works everytime on that port number!

Having same issue. I am positive the wiring is correct b/c I checked the wiring 3-4 times during install. I connected them all, after connecting I went back through the instructions to check connections over and over. I then wrapped them in electrical tape for now. I am waiting for everything to work successfully then I will solder them.

I connected cable to laptop and afc, computer found driver and installed successfully. I did not do goto device manager and check com ports b/c the only one that would actually have the 10 second timer appear was com 3 and then the error came up. I turned the car on but did not start engine. The cable I have came with the AFC as the previous owner used on his.

Below Ken mentioned that if the unit is installed the car will not start if it's a defect correct?

Any suggestions before i go back out and try? I may make a visit to my buddy Sean's to see if his cable will work.

Mine did the same thing on 3 but wouldn't.Connect until com6.

 

[blueprotegelx]

I went into device manager and found that the com port was on 8. I then proceeded to change my comport setting on AFC to com8 and clicked connect to ecu, it then counts down from 10 rather slowly compared to before when i had it connected to Com 3 (Wrong comport). So I figured that was a good sign and it was connecting. I then received an error: "Unknown Comport error #8018"

Thinking about trying a new cable and going from there. Any advice? I'm doing a search on google now.

well sorry to bring this post back but I also need some help, i know my afc is powered up and everything because i did get it to connect and i have been driving the car with the afc installed for a couple months now

my problem is that when i connected the very first time i did not pay attention to the battery life of my laptop so my laptop shutdown while connected to the afc and now when ever i try to connect now it will connect and then about 2 seconds into being connected my laptop blue screens and restarts!

any insight on how to fix this would great.
