i was thinking this as well. these things are cheap so i might have to go exchange it.

 

E Launching could mean Error launching as in error launching the application.

 

i have the creader as well, and it works like a champ. i leave in the glove box and when the SES light pops on i pull it out of the glove box and plug it in, once it reads the code and erases it i unplug it and put it away. are you plugging it in when you have a code. try waiting till your SES light comes on then plug it in. it will flash a 1- then 2- then 3-, after that it should show the code, and do that about three to four times and then it will erase the code. i got it from my friend because i kept getting a p0137 code after installing my exhaust. i've only gotten the p0300 code 2 times and it is always at idle. try what i said and maybe it will help you out

 

not trying to sound like an *** but, y the hell else would i have bought this thing? of coarse the SES light is on.

all this Creader is saying is as follows....

E LAUNCHING - - - -

AND THATS IT!!!!!!!! its not saying anything other than that. and yes my SES light is currently on while im pluging in this creader

 

i wasnt sure if you had it plugged in without a light, like you said your creader may be defective. have you contacted the place where you bought it? maybe they can exchange it for you. the creader is a good tool when its working, hopefully they can get you a new one

 

the place i bought it was called Harbor Freight. if u know of it, its a cheap tool store. they have a few there in stock and im sure they dont sell out of them, so today after i leave work i will go exchange it for a different one. i mean this is really the only thinkg i can think of. sucks that this code is really taking us 03 and 04 owners for a ride. making us spend money we shouldnt have to.

 

the same always happens to me. dont let the defective one get you down, you will like the creader alot when it works properly

 

i sure hope so.

just so i know, please go through the steps that u follow when u throw a code. and tell me exactly what the creader reads. thanks

 

you got pm

 

ok well i exchanged the creader for another one and the same exact thing.......

E LAUNCHING - - - -

thats all it is saying. its not finding the code, its not clearing it, its not doing anything.

so i went to autozone and cleared it and it ran like a evo again.

im so ****ing sick of doing this. im about to start a collection amongst us all members, and about to hire some sort of electric engineer or something to find a way to delete the parameter. i think it would be worth it to all us evo owners to have this **** taken care of once and for all.

is there any actions we can take against mitsubishi or something?

o and btw, i left the Creader in for the whole 5 mile ride to the gym. the code never cleared.

 

I get on every once in a while. Not enough for me to worry about or even relly care. Soon the ECUFlash gurus will find a way to diable it in the ECU and no more cade for good
