VIDA/DICE won't read vehicle CEM/CDM error
Hi folks
The dreaded SRS light has made its annual reappearance, a few weeks before the MOT is due after I moved the passenger seat. I've got VIDA and a DICE, which has previously worked OK and read the vehicle. Got it all plugged in today and now it says the vehicle's not responding when I click the READ VEHICLE button. It gives a number of reasons, vehicle pre 1999 (not), ignition not on (vehicle running) or CEM/CDM error. Anyone got any ideas? I did have to do a fresh install of all the software and drivers today, won't bore you with why, but it's detecting the DICE, loaded the drivers but DICE won't speak to the car. The orange Bus interface light flashes but won't stay on. It's all been in a drawer for best part of 12 months so have no idea why it won't play anymore Don't really want to have to fork out 60 quid getting the mobile man to come out and reset it again.

I've spent about two hours trying to sort this. It's doing my head in!
I suspect it's a driver issue, because the software I've got, in the installation instructions, says not to let Windows install drivers automatically but to choose drivers that come with the software from the Program Files "tree". Trouble is, I can't seem to stop Windows from automatically installing it's own System 32 drivers and when I uninstall and delete these drivers then direct Windows to the Program Files/Vida folders I still seem to end up with the same bloody driver that Windows automatically installs. So frustrating as this didn't happen when I originally set it all up.

Don't forget to check the pins in the OBD plug, i recently had a scan tool not communicating, it turned out to be a bent over pin in the plug !

When you say "read vehicle" button, do you mean at the very beggining? Or later on, under the diagnostics tab?
If at the beggining, then DICE cannot read the VIN of the car. You will have to manually enter it in VIDA.

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

Hello, if that help I work with my vida one week and reinstall whole computer 7 times, and that software works offline but when I tried connect to car, that wont work.
Reason is simple, with device come dvd with installation quide video and they also give cloud-side with same WRONG video. There show "select point 6_volvo" thats all but You must also select "point 1_dice" after that, the software read fine and connect to car.. I dont know why they spread wrong video also thats clear ofcourse all that software required - win7 professional 64bit. - min. 4Gt ram - min. 40Gt hdd - Netframe 4.0 MAX - ie 9 minimun. - time/date "20.12.2014" After 7 years reinstall all again and before install set year "20.12.2014" Thankx |

don't forget to disconnect the battery. or more fault codes will be flagged . did you remove the seats to clean the carpet? if yes this is more than likely the cause of your srs warning light. vida or other good reader should be able to narrow down the cause of the problem.
