for correcting the problem are as follows:
• Check all connections between the PC and the ECM.
• Check that the Communication Adapter is receiving external power. The product being serviced must have the key switch in the “On” position to receive power unless it is connected directly to the battery.
• Under the Settings menu, select “Preferences” and verify that the correct port is selected. Also verify that the correct Communication Interface Device is selected.
• If the error displays again, verify the correct cables are being used for the application.
• If a serial port is being utilized, verify that the PC Comm Port is set up correctly and is not in use by another device (for example, a modem).

Try using another Comm port, if available.
