Default PLX>>>EFIlive problem

I was working on a car today but could not get my PLX M-300 to read in EFILive, said that it wasnt a valid PID. I had the PLX wired to the battery, I tried running the white wire and grey wire to port C and E on the EFILive cable, neither worked. What is the proper way to hook it up? Thanks.

Did the PLX PID have an X thru it? If so, right click -> more info and a dialog box will come up and tell you the additional supporting pid's you need to log.

Yah, I did that I am just unsure of which wire goes where on the EFILive box. I never had a problem datalogging with my LC1, but I had instructions on which wire goes where.

gotcha. you'll have to get the plx manual to verify the signal and signal ground, then you can use the pin-out diagram in the LC1 tutorial. I don't recal the alpha designations on V1, but signal ground is the center terminal, left or right of that will be aux1 and aux2.

I think I am just going to have to mess with it. The "manual" that came with the wideband doesn't go into detail about it one bit. There is a power, ground, and 2 (0-5V) voltage output wires.

From the PLX web site (about half way down):
http://www.boostcontroller.com/index.php?item=263

White wire connects to one of the signal inputs on Flashscan, grey wire, to the other signal connection or not connected.

In this case, you would not make a connection to Flashscan's signal ground.
