"Incorrect Checksum" Problem with EFILIVE V5 I just recieved my EFILIVE V5 today and was hoping to be able to do some logging, well it didn't work out that way...
I'm using hte ATV2.0.1 cable on win XP and thru the edgeport usb to serial adapter. the software connects just fine to the software, i can check DTC's and use the control panel to do things to the car, and it responds accordingly, so i am led to believe that the hardware is fine,
my problem is that it will not log, every time i click the "Start Real Time Data Display" , it prompts with a save file box for some reason, reguardless if logging is on or off, "the little green square". if i choose save, it gives me an error every time saying "ATV2(V2.0.1) ERROR: $03 INCORRECT CHECKSUM" and it will not start logging, and if i click cancel, it doesn't do anything either
Please help, i have searched everywhere and have seen no mention of my particular problem <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: "Incorrect Checksum" Problem with EFILIVE V5 Thanks,
I have noticed that sometimes it will start to logg and work ok....maybe once out of every 100 attempts....if i stop logging, it will not start back. But the car always stays connected and the control panel works fine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
is this a possible hardware problem?

Re: "Incorrect Checksum" Problem with EFILIVE V5 Could be an electromagnetic interference problem. Is the cable your using shielded? If not, get a shielded cable. Are you in a place with alot of flourescent overhead lighting? That can contribute to intereference. Also I dont know if you can do this with EFILIVE/LS1EDIT but can you turn down the port speed any? (try 19.2k then 9600)
An incorrect checksum is the check the communication protocol does to make sure your getting the correct data across the cable. HTH.
