–

I bought an EAS cable one week ago. I have tried the free software dozens of times to unlock my EAS. However, when I click the “Initialize” button, what I got back is “80”. The status is “No-Idle”. I tried all the delay settings, no difference. Can you help me figure out the issue?

Thanks,

The good news is that you are gettinga  response from the EAS computer. So you have already put some of the most common obstacles behind you.

 

The EAS computer is power cycled as a part of the communications protocol. The EAS computer is power cycled and the communications begin within a set number of ms after the power cycle. If you are getting 80 or 28 from the EAS computer. Either the power cycle did not work properly or the timing was off. When the power cycle happens, the dash will beep the “Slow 35 max” message and you will hear a clicking under the left hand seat. Try to observe both next time. IF you are getting the power cycle, then you can begin to adjust the Idle delay. Try adjusting the Idle delay in increments of 10. First above 75ms to 85, 95, 105, 115,etc… Then try below 75ms; 65, 55, etc…

 

Let me know if you have any more questions or problems
