Efi cannot communicate with Flashscan

[dieseldave01]

im trying to flash my stock tune in and when i try to it says, "Efilive cannot communicate w/ flashscan. Disconnect cables and connections and try agian." not sure what to do, ive got vista and have downloaded the proper drivers i believe, ive uninstalled and reinstallled, what now? thanks for any thoughts, dave

well i borrowed a buddys laptop that has XP and loaded EFI on it and tried that, and it actually got alittle farther, so part of the problem was my vista. but now it says it does not recognized the ecm. and it will not start now. ???? thanks

Make sure you are setup as the administrator when using Vista. This is the most common source of Vista issues.

For your truck, disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and then try and start it up again.

Please make sure you are running either the latest public release software 7.5.3 http://www.efilive.com/download.aspx, or if you are running BETA software please ensure you upgraded to the June 12th Release.

If you have upgraded software recently also make sure when you installed everything that you upgraded your firmware too (if you are using V2).

Then I'd switch everything off, and reconnect again. Start up PC, connect FlashScan (ensure you hear/see your PC accept the hardware - usually it's a dinging noise), then connect to your truck.

I am getting the same problems, but my USB drivers are giving me fits.

There are some changes in the latest BETA to fix ECM Locked and ECM Not Secured.

For drivers the next full installation will automatically install correct drivers. There will probably be one more BETA before the next public release, so it is getting closer.
