Kpro & KManager not connecting... KPro Not Reading anymore..

[SkareKrow]

I am having problems running KManager to connect to the ECU now... I Accidentally been working on my girlfriends ep3 for the last 2 months and well when I jumped on my ep3. I had a CEL... What I did was pull the 15AMP fuse from under the hood to reset the CEL... (I had forgotten that I had KPRO) Then when I realized it after I had put the fuse back and everything I ran to get the laptop. connected the USB Cable to the KPRO Ecu and well it didn't read anymore... Is there anything I can do?

Any help would gladly be appreciated... I'm very lost and confused as of right now. I feel that I ruined my KPro... I can provide pictures as well.


Any help would be greatly appreciated... I've tried emailing hondata a ton of times... Bunch of Horrible Customer Service that they have.

I even bought a new USB Cable nothing....
here is my ecu:

Hondata don't give a shit. Nothing but horrible customer service there. I would say see if you have a freind that has kpro. See if it works on ur ep3. I wouldnt think resetting would caus damage. I unplug my battery all the time , heck its unplugged right now lol. Check the usb port on your kpro for damage
This is Gona be hondata advise to you.... " make sure you have the updated version of kmanager"... And then if that doesn't work there gona tell u its broken. They don't give a Fuck

Yeah that is all they told me over email... Ive got no local friends that have kpro and the people I know out here in socal are haters and they want to charge you an arm and a leg.. I might as well buy another k pro with all the people around... Any advice or :bump2: for some nice people to help me out locally. I honest to God know a guy that has an ekhatch with a k20z1 with kpro and he lives 3 blocks away. But he is always too busy. :mfrown: Anyways. Thanks for the advice.Ill keep my search going...


:msad: Sometimes... I wish I lived on the eastcoast...

I would start with the usb port. If ur car still turns on and drives the ecu has to be still good. Try a different laptop too

Yeah I think I need to clear up the entire registry. Ill probably pick up another laptop for black friday. What do you think could be wrong with the usb port?

I just remember about a guy who had the same issue as u. Turned out a piece inside the usb hole in kpro was missing. After that he was all set.

Interesting because it was working all good before... What did the guy do? Did he send it in? I do remember I did an update to kmanager on it before I tried to plug the Ecu after I pulled the fuse... But honestly if anything ill send it to Hondata and upgrade the KPro version to the newer ones. =) I think its 75$ or so... Might AS well do that. :thumbu:

It's on the hondata forums somewhere. It was like a black piece or something. His buddies s300 had it and his didn't. He found it in his packaged box and it fixed it. Did u try manually going into kmanager and seeing what happens? Trying searching/ posting on crsx. Someone else has had to have a similar situation as u

[WhiteComet]

yeah...Hondata's customer service is pretty shitty. Everytime I've called them, the techs just want to get rid of you asap.

SK your girl has a ep3 too? Unplug your ecu, and plug it into her car and try it.

I would really think that your car would not run if your kpro was ruined. If it runs, its most likely a software issue (or your laptop). You could always try to uninstall kmanager, and re-install.

Do you have access to another ep3
Do you have access to another laptop?

Or you can always run a long ass extension cord and your desktop machine to your car. Which would be a total pain in the ass. It could be that your USB drivers are messed up on the lappy, or a number of other things.

Yes my lady has an ep3 aswell. I have already uninstalled k manager. I'm trying to figure out the usb drivers etc... Any help with that would be best.=)
I sadly don't have access to another laptop At the moment.

I was going to pick one up this past weekend for black Friday but we ran into a small issue with one of pugs. The boy was going blind From one eye and well Black Friday money went to saving the pup.

Well if you know anything about the usb drivers I wouldn't mind skyping At all. Let me know. =)

Can you try any other item you own that runs on USB? Like a camera, PS vita or anything? Something where you can at least test to make sure its working on the "other" item?

I would really try to swap your kpro ecu with her stock ECU.

Ill swap ecus no problem. my usb that I put music in works on the laptop. I'm thinking its honestly something on the registry and I'm not trying to screw it up since I don't know much of it. :-/ I uninstalled the drivers for the usb and reinstalled them. The mouse thats usb also works... Any other advice?

Yeah, I know its a pain in the ass, but use another laptop OR your desk top (which means running an extension cord from your house/garage to your car) to run Kmgr.

If you determine it is infact your laptop that is screwy -- you can always do a full system restore. Or better yet, before you do that, see if you can do a "go back" to the LATEST possible date (like a month or two ago?) You should be able to do that. So here is what I would do next if I were you in this order:

1) perform a "go back" on your laptop to the earliest date possible. Then install your kpro mgr. fresh again
2) if that dont work - hook up your desktop OR another laptop to your kpro. If your kpro works - you KNOW its your laptop, then if thats the case:
3) full system restore on that laptop.

Seriously, I think one of those 3 options will get you going again SK.

Ok Updates. I will be trying to the Desktop Trick. I just got off the phone with Matt @ Hondata Help... He said that the ECU might be messed up. It's a 50$ Charge to just ship it to them. And another $250.00 just to see what is going on... So in other words another $300.00 To get it back up and running... Hopefully... Thats what he is telling me. I don't understand how it could have messed up on me...Everything has been grounded correctly... Anymore help would be appreciated. Thanks very much in advance for anyone helping me...

Update: Tried my buddy's laptop the one that was always busy actually had a minute to help out yesterday evening. Well it showed that there was a USB Portable Hardware trying to connect. He already had KManager since his Brother has KPro in a K20Z1'd out EKHatch... But It wouldn't read the drivers to KPro... I am guessing that I might have to actually send my KPro in and I might as well do a KPRo Version III(3) Upgrade... That would completely cost me about $375 Roughly or so.

What else do you guys think before I start racking up the money to send the KPro in....

[ep393]

I just had the same exact problem today, so to solve the solution I need to send it in to hondata to get the latest version upgrade? No other way to fix it?
