Question Error: No response from vehicle ECU

I just installed Evo Scan and read my DTC's, well....... after downloading service pack 2, .net Framework and Service Pack 3 it ran like a top. I checked my DTC's it pulled up a 0p500 Vehicle speed sensor so I clicked clear DTC's it did well I clicked data logger it started right up showing all the info and then the check engine light came on again so I went to check the DTC's again and it will not check them anymore or will data log at all it just says

>Initializing Vehicle ECU
>Initializing at 5 baud.....
>waiting for INIT response...
>Error: No response from ECU


Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Guys

I have installed Evo Scan 2.5 on not 1 not 2 but 3 computers and the ECU will not communicate to any of them. I even bought another copy and put in a different serial number for the last computer all 3 do the exact same thing as above

Anyone Please Help

have you checked the cable for loose connections? check all the pinouts and the slide connector.

I would at least try idling the car about 5 minutes and then trying to connect. crank the floor heater the whole time.

low ecu voltage and low ecu temps are notorious for making connecting difficult. it's worth a try at least.

I had the same issue with mine as well, but luckily I have a copy of ScanTech that I downloaded from the aktivematrix site. Try it... http://www.aktivematrix.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=15...you need an account though to get it, but it works rather well.
