Laptop Wont Connect To AEM!!!!

[blageo23]

I tried to load a new MAP onto my AEM and it wont connect. I am using a serial connection and it was connected to the AEM and the computer with a solid connection. ECU has to be getting power because the fuel pump runs and the engine cranks over. I tried to uninstall the AEM software(I have been having trouble with it) but that did not work either. Anyone know what could be wrong or what to look for???

Do you happen to be using one of those USB - Serial converters? Some of them are worthless and plain don't work.

try disconnecting then reconnecting the battery.

Try connecting first to bring the ECU online, then try loading the map to it. I had an issue with this before as well.

This is what I have done. Its a serial connection not the USB. I read the USB thing. I tried yesterday AM then disconnected the battery and tried in the PM and same thing. I tried opening the MAP and I tried Opening just AEMPRO. Im going to try a new serial cable just in case today.

Check the pins on the cable for any bent ones, otherwise I would check your port settings on your laptop. Either that or the AEM is fried.

can the AEM be fried if the fuel pump runs? and acces come on?

Odds are the aem isn't fried. What version fireware are you using?

What error message is it saying when you try to connect?
