cobb Firmware: 1.2.6.x

aldine · 07-19-2008, 10:14 AM

I just upgraded my access point's firmware to 1.2.6.x. Now the live data and mpg screens do not work. When I try to access the live data screen it says "communicating with ecu" then goes back to the live data screen. When I try to get to the gas mileage it stays stuck on "communicating with ecu". Before I updated I installed the latest version of the accessport manager. Has anyone else had this problem? I have a 06 manual xt.

i know this might seem outlandish, but call cobb and see what they say.

We have found a communication issue with the 1.2.6.7 firmware on the 2006 FXT MT. Many of the data monitoring features on the AccessPORT have issues communicating with the ECU. We have a beta firmware that you can download and apply to your AccessPORT that should fix the issue. Keep in mind that this is a beta firmware. If you notice anything odd that you think we need to address feel free to email me. Please post back in this thread to let us know if it fixed your issues.

You will go through the same process as you did before to update your firmware. Here are the instructions just in case. Just replace step #2 with this file:

Seems to have done the trick. It is a great upgrade. Thank you.

I'm glad to hear it is working.

The 1.2.7.0 Beta firmware resolved the basic comm problem with my 2006 FXT Auto, however, if I leave it plugged in, turn the car off and back on, it will not automatically reconnect (just sits there with the spinning cogs indefinitely).
