Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - VIDA/DICE won't read vehicle CEM/CDM error

Hi Alex

It's under the Vehicle Profile Tab. I've put the VIN number in the box, which it recognises, when I then click on the READ VEHICLE button I've got a steady USB com status light on the DICE.

The Vehicle Interface Status orange light flashes but then I get the error message after a few seconds.

Have checked the pins on the OBD connector and nothing obvious. It's spent the last 11 months in a drawer unused so I'd be surprised if it's that. I reckon it's got something to do with the drivers because the VIDA disks I got came with instructions to direct Windows to the DICE folder that came with the software. Trouble is, there seems to be no way of stopping Windows from automatically installing drivers, which don't seem to be the ones in the VIDA software.

I've got the right hump because it worked last year and I had to reinstall it yesterday and now it won 't work.

I've done a configuration test and it says OK

I hate this thing.

I'll probably buy a different reader, my blood pressure is no longer at safe levels
