ALDL cable failure..HELP!
ALDL cable failure..HELP! Im trying to figure out whether my cable is junk, or I dont have it hooked up in the port correctly, or my comp. port isn't setup correctly...Anybody have any tips? Im just trying to read the car, then upload a file...hopefully to datalog after that..Car is in sig.
Using an USB port cable, OBD1. I also downloaded a USB driver off of the Moates site, and the laptop recognizes that the USB cable is there, but it still says "No message sent-cable failure", whenever I try to read the PCM. Anybody?

I've tried comm port 1, 3 and it didn't effect anything. I using a Flash program to read the car..
Buffman-I dont know for sure if it uses that chipset or not. I got this cable from an ALDL cable site a few years ago..so.
What is this "ALDL"test that you speak of? Where can I check that out at?
And I'll double check the cigarette lighter fuse as well..The lighter/socket has been removed for years, if that matters.

If you're stuck, call ALDL cable. That's what I did when I had problems with setting up my cable/software. They're good guys, and they'll walk you through step by step to get everything working. www.aldlcable.com

Verdad Gallardo UPDATE: I tested the cable using that test from TTpowersystems, and it passed every test that I ran. I adjusted everything so it running off the same COM port,etc. Now the message Im getting is "No message from PCM", wtf? Did I do something in the wrong order? Do I have to start the car, to get streaming data in Freescan? I was just trying to read the pcm, and I got that message. Anybody?

Which software program are you using? I'd suggest Datamaster. It's a free download, and you get 20 tries with it before you have to register and pay.
I had the same problem when using WinALDL. But when I switched to Datamaster, no issues.

It was a flash program I got from a non-sponsor tuner. I was just trying to read it first, then I got the "no response from PCM."...Going to try the datamaster this afternoon, and will post back, the new "message" i get,lol. thanks guys.
yeah and free scan has worked great for me and as it states...is free..also make sure your key is in the run position for a a few seconds before you try to read ..mine sometimes throws a fit if you try to read quickly after ignition is turned on.
k..Tried Datamaster, just a little bit ago, nothin'. In the serial data acquisition box, or w/e..It says something like.."No connection to pcm" in a yellow box..no streaming data, nothing..wtf?
