No response from controller

mattbeef · 12-03-2008, 10:51

Righto just got VAG-COM and cant get it to work with the octy

Done the test as it passes but get CAN: Not Ready

When ever i try to access something i then get what it says below in the attachment

Anyone have any ideas?

I wouldnt mind but i managed to scan through my brother Ibiza last night with it fine

try disconnecting your battery for a while then attempt again.

mattbeef · 12-03-2008, 17:17

thanks for that will give that a go later on

Which flavour of Octavia are you using it on?

Tom_vRS · 12-03-2008, 18:39

Being CAN I'd guess a Mk2.

It could be a MK1... the test result will show 'CAN: NOT READY!'... which is fine on a mk1.

Let's start all over here...

#1 Which interface hardware are you using (i.e. what does the label on it say)?
#2 What do the 7th and 8th digit of the VIN say?

mattbeef · 12-03-2008, 23:06

Sorry its a MK1 so 1U chassis

The interface is HEX-USB + CAN

Theresias · 12-03-2008, 23:09

Then the CAN not ready is normal since the 1U doesn't have a diagnostic CAN. So the real question is why can't you communicate with the cluster? I assume you are able to talk to other modules just fine?

mattbeef · 12-03-2008, 23:17

No thats what i dont get.

I tried to do the auto scan and it fails. Try's 3 times on each and then moves on to the next but every time i go into test the interface it will pass

Theresias · 12-03-2008, 23:20

Ok, now we are getting forward.

What message (exactly) do you get when using Options > Test?

mattbeef · 12-03-2008, 23:29

I get as below

Port Status: OK
Interface: Found!
Type: Ross- Tech HEX-USB+CAN
Version:1.78
Status: Ready
K1: OK
K2: OK
CAN: Not Ready

Uwe@Ross-Tech · 13-03-2008, 01:59

That's fine. Since it worked in your brother's Ibiza, the logical deduction is that there's something awry with your Octy. First, check that the cable is fully seating in the socket.

mattbeef · 13-03-2008, 09:03

Well thats what i though as like you said it worked fine in an Ibiza (6K)

Ill check the socket as its in a stupid place and not the easiest to to secure properly

mattbeef · 13-03-2008, 13:46

Well i tried it again today and it works fine so god know what was happening with it

superfredin · 18-03-2008, 01:45

hi. i don't know but it seems to be a problem with vagcom licence. your cable is an 704 like mine... in the beginning my cable shows this and after that, the cable died...

(sorry for my language...!)

bye

If your cable was a copy and not a genuine cable then it may well have had a firmware update which killed it.

mattbeef · 18-03-2008, 08:33

Mine is working now anyway

OCTAVIA2008 · 02-05-2008, 21:27

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TOO

MAYBEE I DID NOT CONNECT IT PROPERLY

LAPTOP RECOGNISES LEAD AND THE LED LIGHTS WHEN I CONNECT TO THE CAR BUT IT SAYS ABOUNT THE CONTROLLER.

WHAT IS THE CONTROLLER?? IS IT THE ECU???

Please turn off your caps lock, it is considered shouting on an Internet Forum. Thanks.
