Power logger com port error
I hooked up a power logger scan tool finally tonight. Put it on the ecm, plugged it into my computer through the usb port, and installed the software. Everything seemed okay, but when I start the car and try to "monitor", I get a window pop up that says "com port error". Why? I was paranoid about cleaning the gummy stuff off the connector, but did I maybe not clean it enough?

Re: Power logger com port error
When you did the driver install, did it designate a comp port? Mine defaulted to com port 6. I went to the set up page for PL and changed it to 6, hit monitor and I was up and running.
What OS are you using and did you install the drivers for that OS? I am actually using Vista with PL in XP compatibility mode with no issues. I have read that PL does not work with Vista - not the case here!

Re: Power logger com port error
It didn't specify a com port, however in the config page of PL the com port is set for com port 1. Thanks for the idea, I'll change ports on that page and see if anything happens.

Re: Power logger com port error
Mine is on 4. You can check the com port by going to control panel, then system, then click harware, devise manager, then push the + on Universal Serial Bus controolers and looking under there when its pluged in and turned on it sould say what com port it is. I'm just trying to remeber how I found mine. I don't have mine plugged un right now so this is just a guess. But its how I think I found mine. Unless my mem is failing
 Let me know if this is right or if i missed something Paul

Re: Power logger com port error
I went under the F3 config and download tab of the PLC. The first thing on the left side is Select COM Port. I left the LSB cable plugged in and went through each COM Port 1,2,3,4......and repeatedly hit F8 with each change until it connected. I ended up on COM Port 4 as well.

Re: Power logger com port error
Found it. I'm on comport 4 as well. Having other problems now though. Not logging anything but flatline and getting trouble code errors. Is this for another thread?
