If the scan was successful, clicking on Connect will establish communications with the COMMAND ECU. A successful connection is indicated by:

  • Port Connection Status = Connected,
  • ECU Connection Status = Connected,
  • ECU Authentication Status = Success

If Level COMMAND fails to connect to the ECU over the chosen COM port, a warning will be displayed as shown below. 

If connection fails:

  • Confirm the correct COM port is selected
  • Check USB or serial connections
