does the head connect to the computer properly first?

Attach the head to a vehicle using the OBD cable
? Select ?connection setup? from the ?Administration? screen.
? Select the appropriate head from the ?Free diagnostic heads? box.
? Select ?Connecting? to connect the head.

Spot on NUTLOOSE i had same error code with mine did same as you just wrote and all was good.

[johnjohn27]

thanks for the reply lads,

yes nutloose i have already done exactly as you described but i still failed to get comms. its also showing the bar fully green beside the gt1 icon on the top of the main screen.

im starting to think that in my rush to test this at the end of the day i may have over looked the state of the battery. althought surely it would not of connected in admin screen if the battery was to low in the first place.

anywho just to be sure ill try again in the morning on a fully charged battery and see how i get on

how does that sound?

[nutloose]

the battery voltage is usually detected after the model selection on the request for diagnostics and a (not so) "quick test".
The screen you get then just stops you progressing until the battery (or terminal 15) voltage is above 12.5v ?. Any way either start the engine or put it on charge and it should continue. remember most engine diagnostics should be carried out KOEO and fault clearing and service resets require it.

Oh, I just remembered if you use it in VMware it does all sorts of weird shit

[super1]

Just as a suggestion try going through a hub,I take it you are connecting straight:questionmark: to laptop?

[ezzaddin]

try to see IP address for the head and for the GT1
you can find the ip in the administration \ dignostic head

[teerak2uk]

Hi guys does the Gt1 require power into the red/connectors at the front or does it just use its power from the obd


many thanks

[nutloose]

power at the obd socket is mandatory.(you cant continue unless ignition switched power is detected)

I thought that the red and black sockets could be for voltage/resistance measurements (20v max), but I suppose external supply would be just as likely, most other diag heads have them


just looked at one and found a small green weatherproofed press switch next to the 9 pin serial socket and have no idea what that is either

[teerak2uk]

power at the obd socket is mandatory.
you cannot power up the gt1 head over the cat 5 UTP cable

yes i know but it has a red and black connector at the front of the head i thought may be to power the head up

[johnjohn27]

ok guys im still having the same problem error 200.168 my laptop shows the gt1 as connected. also i have tried it with obd2 cable and 38? pin cable. no difference with either. also it has been tried on 3 different cars. even when i click test when it is connected it says gt1 unit responding. starting to look life a faulty gt1 unit.

what do you guys think?

also i remember seeing on the forum v57 and programan installation on same hdd + install guide but cant seem to find it now does anybody have a link?

again thanks for all the replies

[Sir Pommes]

Here you can find the software.

cheers

cheers mate,

i think ill try a fresh install and if that doesnt work ill have to return it :-(

[jnp1908]

The error message your getting is normally a sign your DIS installation is faulty. ITs only a small error but it seems to always occur where the program leaves the platform and launches external comms with a vehicle.

AFter you power on laptop and you see the unix screen begin to load you will notice the USUAL SM Bus error message and then a couple more lines of data load ......

After that keep your eye out for a message within the next 20 lines of programming that follows - I would bet - there is a message the full length of the screen refering to a memory overlap error problem in segment -123xxxx -xxxxxx with segment xxxx.xxxxxx ---- this is usually in the memory segment relating to partition 4 which is your DIS AND TIS installation.. and must be at a remount position or something.

I would be 95 % confident you will see this type of message - and it nearly always creates this fault - and will prevent you from moving from Administration, the home screen or from TIS into that specific point where the head makes its initial Diagnosis connection in order to try and auto identify the vehicle - this is where the memory overlap occurs .
And it stops you from ever getting through to a vehicle
HOWEVER...

You will be able to program in PROGMAN with it, you will even be able to successfully set up a connection in administration, the head will show up as you expect it to, and so on. BUT you will never get a positive vehicle identification at the initial process of gaining comms with the car and it will then only let you in with a manual identification but there will never be a real connection from there on it.

When you have this fault you are as Admin also says'''' head is connected and can be reached''' and that is true. But the head cant make a call out to the vehicle in dis as the programming to tell it to is no longer there as its usually mangled up in that memory overlap segment.

Send the hard drive back and get another sent out - but mention the problem so the same does not happen again.

[jnp1908]

Oh and to get into PROGMAN and to check the you can still reset a module or something or go into key memory etc - when you power your laptop on - the IBM screen appears for a few seconds. start hitting return the second it dissapears - just a few times - then let the cursor keep flashing --- now BOOT: will appear -- type BOOTOS 3 and press enter

TO see the partitions on the drive type: BOOTOS ?
GO for the sending of the hard drive back as oppose to the image download - your just going to find it a lot easier and less painful that way - get a new one or pm me if you want a HDD ready to plug n play.

[antioqueno]

had the same problem error code 200,168

I solved by changing the hard drive of dis V56. the problem lies in that it could shut down the program incorrectly dis
sorry my English is bad

[gui62112]

Mine error is 200.166 ... when I click on diagnostic under diss v55.
message : Communication between operating unit and diagnostic head is impaired.

Anybody have got a solution for this ?

[rotvajs]

Hello

Please can someone help me , I cant solve the error 200.168 ?

Thank yoi in advance

[RReader]

Hello rotvajs , I have experience about 200.168 on my friend's original GT1, the remedy is simple , just reinstall the software right from the beginning ( GT1-Base-CD and DIS ) and the error should be gone then , I've done this for many friends here , it works every time .

gui62112 , the error code " 200.166 " was caused by the Yellow Diagnostic Head " DK-20 " , the problem comes from the hardware , so you need to send your DK-20 back ( to whatever it come from ) for a repair , better not do it yourself , it should be done by a professional , because the problem was cause by " firmware " , most of the time the repairing procedure is very complicate , and trust me , it is very dangerous to do this , you may found out that you have a useless DK-20 in the end .

Guys , Good luck you all

hi,

i have this particular problem with my gt1. along with other shit. The thing is that it has not always been this way, it just suddently did this.

Hello gui62112 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/members/140512-gui62112/)

The problem is the head if you open it up there are three SMD fuses labeled F1, F2 and F3 the fuse types are 391J they are very very small you can check the resistance on each fuse with an ohmeter. You have to desolder the bad fuse which is probably the F3 fuse and resolder a good fuse ie(391J) and that should fix your problem as I had the same problem and this fixed it.

[goldgear54]

My gt1 is not see all ecu how to check it.:celticparty:

[mbudisa]

Hi I have error from Gt1,

NO data could be read out of vehicle
This may be for followong cause

Diagnostic bus defective
No communication with the control unit

can anyone help

Thanks

[AvechuchoAxel]

Hi guys does the Gt1 require power into the red/connectors at the front or does it just use its power from the obd


many thanks


On CLONES, those black/red connectors are just DUMMY ones... not connected inside.

With your help we managed to fix it :beer:

Your welcome mate.

[tonyadams5]

I had the same problem.

The problem in my case was that the software was updated on the head. I have the original GT1 but with with old software V42. So i downloaded the old firmware onto the head but still got error.

So I upgraded the GT1 to V52 and subsequently upgraded the head. Bingo now works without any problem.

So conclusion is that after some upgrades (firmware), the head does not respond to older versions.

So better check your GT1 version and the head firmware. Try to get the latest one and use it.

[newdavid]

I have the same problem with modified Vag KKL with DIS V57. I can't find the OBD.ini in my PC. This file is nesesary? I can' tonnect the head and DIS give me an error -2 when I enter to Touch Screen Calibrate.

I thnik you must Programming new the IC in the GT1 from Long time I have seen this Dump but I don?t know where?

I know you must Change maybe the thisnk 29FXXXX IC and New Programming with the Dump than the connection is ok, is not problem the Software

hi mates, my question is if DIS works to program ecu's using KKL interface, on diagnostic it works but on programming I didn't tryed it and I want to ask before doing something stupid.

thanks!

Hi there can anyone help!!! I have a Gt1 works pefect but the only thing that doesn`t work is Resetting adaptions in DME i havent tried to reset autobox adaptions yet.It comes up with an error message.I run Gt1 though virtual machine. How do i find a fix for this or what error codes mean thanks Johnny:ridinghorse:

[mccabema]

Hi there.

Great thread !

Having a similar issue.

My DK head stopped communicating in DIS but works just fine in Progman/SSS.

When I try connecting in admin, it fails. green/amber led on head stays lit.

"head is connected but not acessible" etc.

It just stopped working all of a sudden yesterday.

I have a T30 partioned with SSS accessible via "space bar - bootos 3" command.

I have a copy of DIS V57.iso, but I have no idea how to re-install DIS on my T30.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

[albdiag]

must use those restore dvds

[holeshot]

i know this is a old one but I am lost. I got this from a place in china. I didn't but it the shop did. So now he is asking us for a photo of the error. I did give them the error number but still wanted a pic. The laptop came with the program loaded. It also has MB star on it. I am not 100% in the know with programing or should I say loading it. If it had a piston I could fix it :)

In short from what I am reading it's a softwear and hardwear prob so I have to send the head back and the HDD? That would stink. Anybody know of a reliable sorce that can get the GT1 up and running again? We had a problem orgionaly with the unit and sent it back once already. Very nice people but the down time is my worry.

Thanks in advance
