The Hp Tuners Mpvi2 is a powerful tuning device, but some users experience connection problems and even device failure. One user reported their MPVI2 initially worked fine, scanning and flashing vehicles for a week. Then, intermittent communication loss occurred, followed by complete failure. Different USB ports, laptops, vehicles, and cables were tested, but the MPVI2 remained unresponsive, with no power light.
HP Tuners support promptly provided a replacement after confirming the device failure. However, the replacement unit exhibited the same issues after just two days and was subsequently replaced as well. This recurring failure raises concerns about a potential underlying issue on the user’s end.
While HP Tuners’ quick response with replacements is commendable, experiencing two failed MPVI2 units in quick succession is alarming. This situation prompts the question: Could there be an external factor contributing to these failures? The user expressed worry about potential damage to a vehicle’s ECM during a flash if the MPVI2 were to fail mid-process. This concern is valid, as a failed flash could leave the vehicle inoperable. Furthermore, the previous failure resulted in a poorly running tune, emphasizing the urgency of resolving the issue.
The user is seeking insights from others who may have encountered similar problems and identified a root cause. Possible culprits could include issues with the laptop, the vehicle’s OBDII port, or even electrical interference. Determining the underlying cause is crucial to prevent further MPVI2 failures and ensure reliable vehicle tuning. A faulty MPVI2 not only disrupts the tuning process but also poses a risk of leaving a vehicle stranded with a corrupted ECM.
