My flashpro won't datalog! Need help

Post by gyu »

Hey guys so I recently bought a used flashpro and I was able to flash my ecu so I know that it has been unlocked from the previous owner's car and locked to mine correctly but I haven't been able to get it to record data logs!

This is what I've been doing:
- Plug flashpro in
- Turn engine on
- Press datalog button on flashpro (have also tried holding for a couple seconds)
- Drive like I usually do
- Press datalog button again when I reach my destination
- Turn off engine

The yellow/orange datalog light flickers right when I turn the ignition and keeps doing this throughout and makes no difference if I press the button or not, it's not a solid light like you're supposed to see.

I even set the datalog to automatically save but still not doing anything.
When I go flashpro---> datalog in flashpro manager it still shows the memory is untouched.



Someone please help I am getting so frustrated!!!!

Hondata FlashPro Editor
Version 1.1.8.5
Windows NT 6.0 (build 6002)


I forgot to add, the yellow/orange light also flickers when it's plugged into the computer. I do not have a laptop so I have not tried datalogging with that, but the flashpro should be able to datalog without one correct?

I believe the problem may be related to the operating system you are using. Our software is only supported on Windows XP, Vista and 7. NT is not supported.

I am running windows vista, I downloaded the software off your site
Specifically here http://www.hondata.com/downloads.html
Production release - full install - all vehicle models included. 05/11/2011 27.2 MB V1.1.8.5

I got the windows NT thing from Help---> About since you said you guys don't support NT and I am not running NT it's probably not an issue.

Also, for datalogging I am not able to get the actual flashpro hardware to datalog that's the problem I am having so my computer should not be affecting that am I right?
Is it normal for the datalog light to flicker/blink automatically when it has a power source?
When the car is turned off but the flashpro is still plugged in, I see that the power and datalog light simultaneously flashes every 2-3 seconds and so I know what the datalog light looks like when it's solid, but when it is plugged into the computer when the car is on the flickering/blinking I see from the datalog light is weak.

Was this ever resolved?
I am having the same issue with mine.
It seems to randomly sometimes work, but lately i can not get it to record. It uploads just fine, eventhe second profile, (I think).
Btw mycar is an S2000 and I am running the latest version of software.

Are you datalogging using the button on the FlashPro or the Software? Download the most recent beta version from the downloads section of the website and see if that helps.

Same thing here. I get the power light on the FP when it's hooked to the OBD2 port (but not a laptop), but the datalog light never comes on no matter how I depress the button.

07 Civic Si, Vista, and whatever the latest Hondata download was. Ironically when I had the Flashpro hooked up to the laptop the datalog light was flashing. Sadly it never did when I was trying to datalog so I never knew if it was working or not.

FP-S2K-US-30228
2007 S2000
Windows 7
Flashpro: 1.3.3.0
Bootloader Version: 3
Main Version: 46

Yes I am able to load calibrations to the car, but I am unable to datalog with just the flashpro some of the time (sometimes it works no problem, but it seems like when I need to use it it does not work).
