AE question!

Should my ae work on an obs powerstroke? I tried on one today and it would not connect. So I tried on another, same result! Am I missing something? I have the newer style connector with the three lights and on my truck I get a red and green light, on the obs trucks I could only get a red light. Also checked the fuse and verified power with the cig lighter. Any thoughts?

What year OBS? Does the port get power from the cig lighter on the OBS like it does on our SD's?

Also, do you have J1850 PWM and Non OBDII selected?

Both were '96. And according to the fuse label the obd ll and cig lighter are the same fuse.

Not sure on the J1850 ----. All I know is it works on my '01 and I thought as long as you had the 7.3 powerstroke option selected that it wouldn't matter what year the truck was.

What version AE are you running? I don't have an option for 7.3 powerstroke. Everyone always recommended selecting the specific vehicle type and non-obdII so there are less issues.

Try wiggling the proline connector to see if it has a loose connection. One of the threads I found at PSN had that issue.

It should work on a '96. You may not have as many options to choose from as your SD, but it should pull some basic stuff up.

Mine worked on my 96 but it wont work on a 94 or 95 without flashing the pcm to a newer version so if there is a replacement pcm in it ae may not work
