Dashhawk issue/Flashing security light
Not sure if anyone can help with this but have had an issue with my dashhawk for a while, think I know how the problem arose but not on how to get it fixed.
Basically my dashhawk was working fine for ages but the cable connection was at times a bit loose and sometimes when I removed it from the car the screen would flash and it would be reset to that main screen where you have to accept five times etc. The last time the dashhawk was working, when I removed it the screen had a massive flash and from that point on when I tried to use it I get an error message saying CAN communication not found. I am not sure if this was occurring before as well, but my security indicator light is always flashing now (car with key light).
I know the dashhawk is supposedly not able to communicate (write?) with the CAN/ECU but is only able to read the information, but is it possible this loose cable connection has shorted something out in the car?
I have it booked in for a service with a Mazda dealership (groan) this Sat so you would assume they will know how to fix it, but am worried I will get charged through the roof for the privilege. Was hoping some one with more knowledge might be able to tell me if it is possible to fix this myself. I have already checked the fuses in the car and they look okay to me.
