VIDA/DICE won't read vehicle CEM/CDM error

[Nuddmann]

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.
