The dongle is the USB security key that has to be plugged in with the OBDII adaptor. There will be a number of sensors/PIDs on the list that the 7.3L trucks don't have... like coolant temperature. What are you trying to read?

I'm noticing a surge of people who can't read many of the vehicle sensors. It's making me wonder if there's a bug in a recent version of AE.

The only "upgrades" (that I know of) are to add more "Enhanced" bundles. I would suggest contacting AE directly to let them know what you are experiencing.

Ok everytime I hook this thing up it pulls a little more info.
Truck info. E99 , only mod is air filer removed the box and put a rechargeable on the big inlet. Almost 300k miles. What I can't pull.
any O2 info, cylinder rotation, cylinder misfire, wont do a buzz test KOEO.
maybe the next 3 or 4 trys the rest of the items will start working.
The only code is p0470 exhaugst back pressor sensor.
I did have a low turbo code but cleaned the tube that runs fron the sensor to the exhaust manifold.

Rich...
Those of us who recently purchased our AE bundle... did not get a Seperate security dongle...
I think its built in now.

The bug thing makes sense... but i have not experienced any of the symptoms described yet other than the occasional loss of connection due t o my laptop being ancient... and held together with bubble gum & bailing wire...

My computer data link only has 6 wires running to it. A schematic I found has 8, there is two wires not connected that run parallel to the 6. There is a tag that says something like refer to body builder before powering. ? As of now I haven't been able to find the info that covers this. I did find an old post same issue, they didn't post how it was resolved.

6 wires? 8 wires? I have a USB cable to the interface... I'm lost here. Are you running the laptop on battery?

No I use an extention cord. My AE is Rev7c ST05 ( off Ebay discussed earlier in this thread). The truck side is the Computer Data Link has the 16 pins of which 6 pins are wired. A schematic found of the CDL has 8 pins in use.
Any other e99 F350's have this issue?
PS, thanks for the thread!

So professor, haven't noticed any new lessons in a while. Has class been dismissed & this is now a discussion thread? Any summer school a person can sign up for?

My last adventure was a recording of live tuning... I can't share much there. My next adventure is cups in Seattle, with BWST and woodnthings, we might get some data. The problem I have is that my truck is 100% repaired and modified... nothing to see here folks. I'd like to see some data from trucks with woes and we can sort it out... or at least a request of how to look for something.

I had a recent thought: I noticed some 4R100s are slipping with the torque converter engaged. It would be a good idea to look at "Torque Converter Slip Actual" on anybody's next AE run. You'll find some interesting numbers until lockup (if all is well). If you have a problem here... this is a huge MPG robber and heat generator.
