DDEC II for Series 60 - Nexiq Pro Link help needed

Pablo, as someone said the cable I ordered as linked above will work, correct?

 

Does anyone know where I can get a NEXIQ 201007 DDEC I/II cartridge for a low price? I see them pop up occasionally. I was considering the Allison application card VS the Allison cartridge. Thoughts?

 

Some strange things went on today. I tried again and got a little farther, but not enough to do anything.

I will get the following messages:

"MSPI COPY RIGHT 1996" With the logo
INSERT PC CARD (Even though its inserted)
"BAD COUNT = 122 1st" and some other jargon

I actually had it plugged in and recycled the ignition and started the truck, it began to flash diagnostic codes on the dash CEL. As far as I can tell, the following codes flashed, all non-related to the MSPI and were probably past codes stored.

AT one point, I got into the menu before it shut off. I believe I was at RS-232 serial port. Another time, it asked me if I wanted to start a new session. Then, after 5-10 seconds the screen shuts off and it starts beeping at me. What gives?

22 - TPS Lo Volt (With the engine running and the reader plugged in, throttle was disabled while it flashed codes)
35 - Oil pressure
42 - Synchronous Ref Sensor
43 - Low coolant level
54 - Vehicle speed sensor
61 - Injector response time long
62 - Injector response time long
63 - Injector response time long
64 - Injector response time long
65 - Injector response time long
66 - Injector response time long

I'm editing a video now showing just exactly what happens:

Beeping and no display: http://youtu.be/JD_pnT-MM30
Shows boot screen, insert PC card, shuts off and starts beeping: http://youtu.be/FPtkqG_mmhs
CEL flashes at one point: http://youtu.be/aDadBpYpwDA
Error message displayed on Pro link: http://youtu.be/YAbsFJnXEKU

Attached is a picture of the error message.

I'd like to add, I checked power from the end of the connector which is fed by the cigarette lighter, I'm getting a good ground and a steady 13.70 volts from the connect. With the cigarette lighter unplugged, I found one pin with 4.7 volts I believe and another pin with 13.70 too(not from the cigarette lighter, it was unplugged), I also have a ground wire if I recall on the OBD1 12 pin plug in FROM the truck. I tested the power from the end of the serial cable that plugs into the Pro Link 9000 itself.

I was going to go to a truck stop, but decided to wait and find a repair shop that has a pro link who may be able to lend a better hand. Does anyone have any clue what is going on? Or what the red button the side of the Pro Link is for? It never came with a manual, and I'm unable to find one online. Thanks!

 

I just ordered this cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nexiq-Proli...694&&clkid=6491092934519615182&_qi=RTM1303752

I will see if this makes any significant difference.

 

Why not, well the connector that's on there should work. There are other trucks out there with the same one. There is no guarantee splicing a 6 pin circular connector will even work.
