Xcal4 wont communicate with ECU all of a sudden

[amurray7777]

Hi:

I use my XCal4 to watch gauges like water temp and alternator voltage and IAt temps. I usually plug it in before starting the car. 2003 Cobra.

Today I er. To plug it in as usually, and it says device connection error. Wtf? It’s worked perfectly for years. So now I have no extra gauges. I like to watch them when I’m driving. I am updating my Xcal4 as we speak. No way I set it back to stock. The. When it doesn’t work the car will be a a paperweight. As it is, the car has the aftermarket tune in it and runs fine, I just can’t monitor the extra gauges the programmer provides. I filled their instruction on SCT and nothing seems to work. Any ideas? I’m going to have to call them on Monday. Really annoying.

buy yourself a $250 moates quarterhorse and you can use a windows tablet to watch all your gauges in tunerpro.

with the qh you can never be locked out

@amurray7777 stick with one thread. Stop making multiples asking the same questions.

Updated the software and got communication back. It took forever to upload tune revisions for canned tunes I don’t even use, but it’s back in action. It keeps printing me to use Wi-Fi to update tune revisions, but it’s already been done, so I am just going to keep it plugged in. It goes I to standby or sleep mode and doesn’t draw much current. I guess problem solved. What a royal pain in the ass.

Did tuner lose capabilities after update?

I have a older Diablo, guys who updated lost functions. Like with o2 settings?

Idk. The tune is already in the car and I just use the box to monitor water temp and voltage as well as IAT’s. Once I did the update, it started reading again. I didn’t not set the car back to stock because I wasn’t flashing anything and the tune that is on there isn’t changing. I like the way the car runs. Doesn’t need a new tune. So random that it just stopped communicating out of the blue.
