Hi all,

First, it looks like he is typing AT(space)Z
NOT ATZ (NO space)
Second, I THINK the ELM329 is a CAN only device!
Of course I have been wrong before, soo....

Doesnt matter about spaces, ELM devices ignore them.

And ELM329 is can based, but still supports same commands.

I have a elm329 Also but I don’t think that handles class 2 vpw?
To clarify, The device in use is a Ford branded elm327 ... and the OP also has an elm329.

Thanks! That’s what I thought:) but it just hangs doesn’t respond back with elm 327. I have experience with C I can write a program to parse the codes to enable the avt 852. I just don’t know where to find that info. Someone said the log file of the pcm hammer? I don’t have a old pcm to run it to get a log! Do you have a log file using a avt? That I can look at?

You tried pasting the ATZ command into PuTTY and it still does not return a response ??
If it doesn't, store it in the rubbish bin ...

On the AVT, some info is available on the AVT site, I have never looked but I've heard it's skimpy, it's my understanding they have their own "PuTTY" like program that has a scripting language, you need to look at the sample scripts.

That’s right. Perhaps I need to somehow enable echo return? It’s like the Ford branded elm327 isn’t sending any response back?

Yes I have avt852, efi live, elm329, mongoose pro and Ford elm327.

Could I use the vpw message sending program from pc hammer to “open” the port on the avt852? Then close that program and open the capture program?

Echo status has nothing to do with responses from the device, it only affects commands entered. (whether you see ATZ or not when you type ATZ) To prove, paste AT E1 to turn echo on, AT E0 to turn echo off ...
ATZ should return a response regardless.
You can try pasting other commands, each command should return at the very minimum a response of OK or ?

No, VpwDecoder will only work with ELM327 compatible devices, the AVT is not ELM compatible, it has it's own propitiatory language.
Try VpwDecoder on your ELM327 device ...

I took a quick look, is there any way to change what the enter key does in putty??

When I use termite I can tell it to send a carraige return(CR) or a linefeed(LF), or both.. I don't know the ford elm327 but maybe it needs a linefeed char AND a CR?? Might not be getting the message without it?
