Faulty Vin Error with NCSE and ISTA???

drmjm1 · 09-26-2017, 02:34 AM

Had no problems with OBD and using NCS Expert and ISTA both D&P on my old 2009 (build date 03/2009).

Totaled that car and got a replacement, 06/2009.

Connect the OBD and laptop to code the newer car and I get an error. Added the screenshot from NCS-E.

ISTA is unable to read the VIN.

Same cable, same software and laptop, car is same model and year but 3 months newer.

Any suggestions?

Solved in seconds by Levan. Serious props where credit is due, he's the man!

Took him 2 minutes to set the com port up in Device manager and OBD.ini so they matched at Com5, and set latency in device manager to 1.
