Don't think so. It does this when it can't communicate with the ECU, such as when the ignition is off.

Ok guys. I finally got one back to test, and it did in fact replicate the issue. If you are having the Error issue with yours, please send the reader back to us, and we will send you a brand new (tested) one in return.
Sorry for the trouble. We are trying to find some rhyme or reason why some simply do not work.

Read this whole thread. Basically, aside from one person, all the folks with bad readers so far are the ones who received on with no serial number on the back. Those of us who got one with the serial number have working readers. I have one of each, this theory holds true for me, I'd be curious to know how the returned units turn out.

Just got my "new" Creader back and it still does the same thing. Launch - E. It's getting power, Chris can pull codes from the port.
Got any ideas?

No it doesn't. I sent my old one back and this is the one they returned to me.
But then that's kinda been my luck with this car. Somethings work right off the bat, some need the bat to work
I wonder if they returned my old one after they tested the new one by mistake
Smoggy, how's that car running?
