AE Connection

I hooked up my AutoEnginuity last night, but it won't connect. If I plug in the connector to the OBD2 port without USB plugged in, it lights up so I'm sure i have power there.

The AE says it detects the prolink connector, but can't communicate with the truck.

I used the AE the night before on a 6.0 my brother was looking at, so it was working then.

Any ideas?

Protocol is different between 6.0 and OBS. IIRC you have to set up AE for non OBD2 protocol but don't know for sure as I don't have one nor instructions.

Bump you up for someone who might know for sure.

Do you have to set anything in AE to tell it what protocol? I thought it would auto-detect?

I'm new to AE incase you couldn't tell.

Thanks.

You MUST tell the AE to use non-OBDII protocol.

Good info here:

And you have to set it to non-OBD.

Open up scan tool, go to vehicle, communication settings or connections (not sure exact wording), the under protocol select like j1850pwm or something to that effect, then under that select non obd2 compliant. Restart the software and then plug it in and it should work. If you don't have total enhanced ford bundle it wont work.
