REV MS3 PNP Enhanced - No USB/DB9 Connection- Need Help
Hey Everyone, NooB here needing some assistance. I have been working on a new MS3 enhanced PNP from Reverent and running into some issues with the FTDI Serial cable. I've tried an Amazon one and the DIYAutoTune cable with the same result on the connection- "Failed!" I've been screwing around with this for a while, even tried wiping all drivers using FTDI tools and then reinstalling, as well as wiping my entire PC and reinstalling the cable/drivers both with Windows Update and also the supplied drivers on disc, as well as the FTDI sites driver packages. The MS3 won't auto discover and manually it won't make the connection, either. Here is the setup and result:
2001 Miata NB 6spd VVT Fab9 COP kit Engine is stock with healthy compression Innovate Wideband (LC-2) MS3 has a strong glowing red light when given power, I can see it emanating from behind the factory plug- not sure if the constant red light is good or bad fuel pump primes fine, for just under 2 seconds battery is 6 months old fuses are healthy dashboard lights come up, everything seems ready to proceed except I can't get connection with the PC using the cables I get a pretty strong IACV hum which I understand is normal and I'll have to adjust the frequency to reduce the hum but it tells me it's sending power. I removed cruise control prior to install but I don't think that would affect the ECU's ability to establish a connection... Otherwise I'm at a loss why I keep getting a failed connection. I've used the Device manager to report the COM port and used that port using TunerStudio. I have the enhanced version, whatever the Ultimate version is called of TunerStudio. At this point any and all advice is helpful and I am worried I may need to flash the firmware but I'm not going to just jump into that unless what I'm saying constitutes needing to do so, at which point I'll need some direction on how to perform that task as I've never done it and can't seem to find much on what the exact steps are. Anyway, thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to read through this and help me ID if I'm missing anything or what else I should try to get this up and running. |
Open the unit, there is a physical USB port inside which uses a standard USB type B connector (the "square" plug found on most PC-to-printer cables). Use that port, and let me know if you can connect with that.

Yes, it's alright.

Thank Rev,
I get connectivity without the serial cable using the A to B cable. I get two results when scanning: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...5c31505a26.png after selecting the first option, which I think is correct, I get this option: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...9a1312752a.png Can you guide me on the steps here so that I don't brick it? Thanks! |
Hey I managed to get into the ECU with the chassis off. But how can I tune it going forward without using the A to B cable? I did order a dedicated serial laptop to tune with. I figure I should have one anyway, so maybe serial to serial will work best. Anyway, let me know if you have any other tips, etc...

And just did a loopback test with the serial port and it passed fine. Thinking maybe time to reflash firmware?
