Default Hondata S300 not stayin live

So when i go live to datalog, it only stays on for a little, random times it will go off, i have it set to manual switch and always on selected.

it will go live for a little than randomly shut off. A honda guy i know said his S300 does the same thing

im running smanger latest version. tried the older version still did it.

any ideas?

I have tran ground thermostat ground and a VC ground. though it was a electriconic thing going on.

Try another usb cable or laptop. Also try running the module in a different car.

Use resistor spark plugs for the best result according to hondata.

You need to use a usb cable with ferrite cores

I think your major issue is your usb cable.
