CLASS: Getting MPSCAN to talk to the Chrylser ECU

[ShelGame]

That's the right cable. How is it connected to the SCI port?

I have your newer version of the SCI port so I plugged it in with the colors matching up.

either way, it looks like everything i see from what you posted is correct. to jumper that cable just insert a wire (paper clip?!) that connects the rx/tx lines on the 6 pin connector end. if that works it must be an issue with the sci connector/wiring on the ecu side. do you have a flashable smec? if so does mptune flash a bin ok?

Nope, I don't have a flashable smec, I've used the ostrich instead. I uninstalled MPScan and MPTune and reinstalled them and ran the updates for both. It still gave me the error message to turn the key off. So I tried the jumper wire and it started to record. So I tried plugging it into the SCI port on the car and it started working. Not sure why that is, but it's now functioning. Thanks for your help Morris and Rob!

great. i'ld like to have you post up the .txt files again now that it works just to see the connection data. did you have the ostrich plugged in at the same time the ftdi cable was?
