other information regarding the vehicle interface. As each step is
completed, a checkmark will appear next to it. When all four check-
marks appear, the software will retrieve onboard test results data
from the vehicle.
If the Connection Status window doesn’t go away, either your
serial/COM port can’t be opened, or the vehicle interface type is
incorrect or cannot be discovered automatically. You may be
required to manually configure these settings to proceed.
If the Opening COM Port or Connecting to Vehicle checkmark
don’t appear, you may need to open the Communications Configu-
ration window and enter the correct settings manually. To open the
Communications Configuration window, click the AutoEnginuity
logo or select the Options menu and then select Communications
Configuration.
Serial Interface
There are two ways to configure the serial interface: 1) Auto
Detect; or, 2) Manually Set. Auto Detect is slower, but allows the
computer to find the serial/COM port for you. If the serial/COM
port is not automatically discovered one minute after trying the
Auto Detect setting, then try setting the serial/COM port manually.
To manually select the serial/COM port, first determine the
serial port that the OBD-II connector is connected to, then change
the COM Port value to reflect the correct serial/COM port.
Be patient, the connection process can be slow.
