J1850 PWM not auto detecting
Permalink  
 

Just a heads up to anyone that has the CRP123 with the latest software.

The tool will not auto detect J1850 VPW protocol for some reason, assume an instruction error in the software.

Found this when connected to my GMC truck. If I manually configure the tool for the vehicle by make, model, engine type, the tool can read the data stream and fully communicate with all modules in the truck. So the tool can read the data stream if told what to do, it just cannot auto detect the protocol/data stream.


I have notified Launch regarding this issue, hopefully the next release will resolve the problem?

Thought I was getting an upgrade from my old CreaderIV, but I'm having this same problem. Four different 03 GMC pickups, no autodetect... I can go in with vin specific scan, but that doesn't allow me to see global OBDII informations, such as IM Readiness monitors, something that is key when repairing a Check engine light problem, and readying the vehicle for State Inspection, or even verifying repairs. I"m disheartened to see that since July, this issues hasn't been resolved.

Just wanted to update this thread.

I had been wait for updates and was a bit confused at the download from the Launch site was still dated June of 2012.

What I did not realize is the download was not really and update, but the updater tool. Called Launch this wek and was told this issue was resolved with a Firmware update for the CRP tools.

I can confirm the J1850 auto detect does now work without a problem.

What was bit confusing was the update tool did work, but now requires a password. I was able to update the firmware but then the updater required a password. You can call Launch and they can reset or assign a password so the update can actually contact the web site and gather the updated manufacturer specific files.

There were many updates for almost all manufacturers. I did find a few minor bugs in a few modules and have sent them to support for future fixes.

I can also confirm that an update I did on about the 16th of November did resolve this issue.... ABOUT TIME I suppose the old CRP123 was saved from my home firing range target practice pile.

I was  wondering if someone had a similar issue. I found this out when I tried to have the tool read my vehicle info. It was unable to read basic VIN and Calibration info via the EVAP System tesgt
