WiFi Setup times out

[JamesD]

Hello!

My T2 times out whenever I try Wi-Fi setup. I had it set up previously.

I updated successfully using Update Agent, but it still times out on Wi-Fi Setup.

Check for Updates returns an error message that lets me choose WiFi setup, which times out at Gathering WiFi Information.

Currently installed modules:

application-gui​ 3r07r
databases-gui
dbnames 2r01f
DCX-pid 2t01vg
DCX-tune 2t03fc
dte​ 2r01a 2r01a

Help!

fails on the same network each time, or have you tried more than one network?

[JamesD]

I've tried it away from all WiFi networks, and it still times out, but the situation has changed. Now. whether or not I'm in WiFi range, trying to access the gauges yields a screen in an endless loop, which states:

TURN IGNITION ON OR PUT INTO RUN MODE
DO NOT START THE ENGINE!
PRESS SCREEN TO CONTINUE

It's just not fair to get more problems when I haven't dealt with the first one yet!

and this is a new issue, the gauges have worked previously?

[JamesD]

Yes, I've been using the gauges for a year, and changing them occasionally.

I thought that it might be a communication issue, but the readiness test works.

could it be that something is touching the screen forcing it into a menu?
Might be good to call our team, 561-908-0040 and let them troubleshoot it.

[JamesD]

I've been using the same rear mount since I installed it, and there's nothing else touching the case or screen. I'm able to navigate through the other menus normally.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give support a call in the morning.

I appreciate your help.

Good news, everyone!

While browsing the Settings menu, I came across the entry "Restore Default PIDs."

So, for no reason other than it was there, I used it, and lo and behold, the gauge screen now loads and operates. So that's one problem resolved.

Now, I have to rebuild my gauge screens from scratch, and my goodness, you guys have been busy! There are many dozens of new PIDs that I've never seen.

In the past, I have gone through the PIDs offered and made my own list. That wasn't so bad when there were only a couple hundred of them. A typical record that I generated looks like this:

Code: Select all

Src	Dec	Hex	Basic/Adv	Desc					Heading		Sub		Label		Units	Warning	WarnM	Alert	AlertM	Lo/Hi	Min	MinM	Max	MaxM	Min	MinM
PCM	773	305	Adv		Voltage reading from Knock Sensor 1.	Knock Control	KNKSNSV1	KNKSNSV1	V	4.0000	-	4.5000	-	Hi	0.0000	-	5.0000	-	0.0000	-

So if there happens to be a list available, it would sure save me a lot of work!

I then had the thought that "Restore Default Settings" might make the WiFi settings screen work again, but that didn't work, so I'm still going to call support in the morning. Nice try, though.

pid list varies by vehicle and pcm type, so its tough to provide that

[JamesD]

I called tech support. A woman told me not to use WiFi on the device.

Truly an interesting solution.

Edit: Part of the conversation was on the order of:
"Why do you want to use WiFi?"
"Normal updates, for the sake of good order."
"Don't do that. There is no need for updates."
