Your laptop doesn't work in his car. So what happens when you swap out your PL board on his ECM and try with your laptop? I just ran into this problem a couple weeks back in another guys car.

Post by: TurboCajun on September 09 2015, 01:47:42 PM: the CD that came with the new PL didnt have the drivers for the port, So I used my CD to load the drivers and had to dig thru my computer to manually initialize a port.
