"No response from controller"

BIGNOAH · 01-30-2005, 05:36 PM

I'm using the serial port on a Dell Latitude laptop. The test seems to work, but I can't actually do anything. I'm getting "NO RESPONSE FROM CONTROLLER" whenever I try to select a control module.

Anyone know how to fix this?

BTW, I'm trying to use this with my 2001 A6 2.7T Quatro.

Thanks in advance!

What brand and model of hardware are you using? What version of VAG-COM. What exactly shows up when you Test on the Options screen?

VAG COM 409-1 (though I did try an earlier version as well to no avail). The test results are for Com 3:

Port status: OK
Interface: found!
Type: Serial/Pass through
Opto/Iso: Yes
Ross-Tech Design: No

The cable is just a third-party cable that a friend is no longer using (he swears it worked on his VW). Once I get this working I'm going to buy the software and probably the kit as well.

THANKS!!

No...I'm using the serial port that's built in to my laptop. I've tried the auto-scan feature as well as the individual modules for engine, transmission, locks, and radio...all have the same problem. VAG-COM makes 4 attempts and then reports "NO RESPONSE FROM CONTROLLER."

You'll need to use Release 311.2".

OK...so do I need to uninstall 409 before loading the earlier verison?

THANKS!
