It sounds like you have not actually connected the scan tool to the car itself. When you connect it will automically find the PIDs available for that vehicle. You can override it before you connect, but connecting is much easier.

Try this, go to the PID tab, go to the System option and select "All" and make sure to check the "Supported" option located left of of the system. This will show only the supported PIDS for that specific vehicle. That way you know they will work. Another tip; click on the "Description" tab so you can sort them alphabetically.
I noticed there are duplicate PIDs, but are used for different vehicles that are also supported, so maybe you clicked on a PID for another vehicle. Hope this helps.

When you say datalog do you mean with the Flashscan only in the car? No laptop? Have you configured the pids for the flashscan it'self for "black box" logging? I hope this helps. I'm not sure if I understand your question.
