CONNECTING THE M1 ECU TO THE PC
Printed documents are not controlled Page 11
1. Ethernet ports normally include LED indicator lights. Check if they are lit (they normally
flicker, indicating data traffic on the cable) when the ECU is plugged in and powered ON. On
some PCs and notebooks, rather than individual LEDs, the Ethernet connector is lit at the PC
end.
Example Ethernet port lights on a PC
► If the ECU is powered ON and they stay OFF, it most likely indicates an Ethernet wiring
issue.
2. Where Ethernet wiring is confirmed as correct and there is still no communication:
a) Temporarily disable, turn off, or uninstall any anti-virus applications.
b) Close M1 Tune and ensure that the MoTeC Device Discovery service is also stopped. To
check if MoTeC Device Discovery is running, display the active services as shown in the
following image. If the MoTeC Device Discovery icon is shown (as circled below),
right-click on it and select
Exit .
c) Restart M1 Tune and attempt to establish communications with the ECU.
Note: If turning off or uninstalling your anti-virus or firewall fixes the problem, then
your anti-virus or firewall application must be configured to allow the MoTeC
ECU to communicate normally.
If you have removed all anti-virus and firewall applications, and there is still no PC
communication with the ECU, continue with the following steps.
3. Ensure that the IPV6 communications protocol is installed on the PC (this is only an issue
with some Windows XP software).
a) Once any communication protocol issues are corrected, restart M1 Tune and attempt to
establish communications with the ECU, see ESTABLISHING ECU COMMUNICATIONS .
4. If all the above are addressed and there is still no communication, contact MoTeC support –
