    Solus EESC310 has no communication

    I have a Solus EESC310 that powers up just fine. You can load the diagnostics for the vehicle you are trying to scan, but when it goes to communicate with the vehicle to read codes it just jumps back to the previous screen and nothing happens. You can then go to stored codes and it states there is " no communication". I have tried different keys and adapters to no avail. I have taken it apart to look at the motherboard and can't find anything that looks bad. Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the Solus EESC310 motherboard? With a wiring diagram I might be able to trace where the problem is or it might be a software issue. Any help in this matter would be very much appreciated.

    Maybe could take a good look at the pins on the OBD II connector and pin out check continuity of the cable before opening it up

      I have another Solus that has 6.2 update on it and the cable and related adapters work perfectly on it. The one I'm seeking the help on has 10.2 update. It just won't communicate with vehicle. Hoping someone has a wiring schematic for this series of scanner so I can trace out the problem. I read somewhere that the motherboard may have an onboard battery. Can someone point me in the right direction to find this battery? Looking at the motherboard I can't make out a battery at all.

        Hi Buzz, after talking to Snap On technical " help " I got told my back up battery had possibly died ���� and knowing that a computer backup battery would be a 2CR2032 type of battery, I can state nothing like that is on a Solus motherboard, however, I also know ( as I used to be a Radio, Television, Audio, Video & Satellite technician ) that a ' backup battery ' can also be a special type of capacitor, usually 100 or 220 or 470 microfarads at about 6 volt.

        After emailing their ( no ) help technical, four weeks later I still have no idea on component value or location.

        Snap On really do themselves no favours with their absolute lack of care or assistance for older platforms, and remember the latest ( more expensive ) model is also going to be " obsolete " sooner and definitely not later !

          Rumor has it that, Jack Meihoff was given his walking papers after he tried to smuggle out some old motherboards, screens, classified technical data sheets and schematics, and copies of unsecured final version software he was told to dispose of and destroy. The MPs escorted him from the building while others tended 3 smoking burning 50 gallon drums of unused spare parts in the parking lot. The original Solus motherboards are still Classified since they were once Military surplus from the x15 ,B58 Hustler, and Atlas rocket projects of the 50's, and poor last surviving Grey guy from the area 51 crash was forced to help develop sh@t for NASA. Meanwhile Jack Meihoff got sentenced to a couple years of hard labor in China to do software optimization in China to better baffle folk with BS until once again most special functions require the newest J box protocol of a Pass Through Pro 3 and a purchased OE subscriptions.
