Daughter Board Communication Error

Post by Ironraven »

I did a quick search and didn't find an answer... Here's my setup:

- Kpro ECU
-Stock Greddy Turbo 440 16 ohm injector calibration
- 2002 Acura RSX-S
-Greddy Turbo kit w/ cat and 7 PSI spring and FMIC
-IBM R31 laptop

My CEL turned on, but when I went into Kpro to view the engine error code, all I get is the message "Daughter Board Communication Error". The car basically runs fine, although I'm having trouble datalogging because the Kmanager software keeps randomly showing the ignition as "off" and I have to unplug and replug the USB cable in. Here's what I've tried:

1. Yes I did move the ground wire to the engine block.
2. Changing USB cable.
3. Changing laptop.
4. Yes I did check for Kmanager updates...

I bought Kpro about 3 weeks ago, so everything is up to date; I'm lost. Anyone have any ideas?

lol... I just saw the exact same thread halfway down the page... but there's no information in it that helps. So, I guess I'll just e-mail hondata and see what's up.

What spark plugs do you have? The Greddy kits comes with non resistor plugs.

I'm using NGK BKR8EIX resistor plugs, so I'm sure they aren't the problem. Thanks for the reply though.

Use a choker coil...(the little oval things on the USB cables that usually loops once or twice around it.) I installed a pretty big one, (about the size of an ice cube, looped the cable 3 times around it, and its worked great since.

a friend of mine recommended it to me and it stopped going off-line.

try it...

My cables both had the static isolaters on them on both sides... I guess I'll have to send it back to Hondata.
