INPA Error IFH-0009 NO RESPONSE FROM CONTROLUNIT.....

[Drexellake]

I installed the INPA software per instructions. I can get into the software and the battery and ignition lights are black as they are supposed to be. When I go to E83, Body and select Airbag I get this error. The cable is the K+DCAN and the light comes on all the way up to the point where I select Airbag, then goes out with the error above. The ignition is like it's supposed to be. Using Windows 10 64 bit. The COM port is set to 5 and verified in the .ini file. I also have the ISTA software but haven't installed that. Not sure if it's required or not. All I'm trying to do is turn of the passenger occupancy airbag light on the dash after installing a bypass circuit.

I see a lot of people have this problem but can't seem to find a thread with a fix. Any help would be appreciated.

It's very important to post the production month and year of your car. Its on the driver's door jamb.

You need to bridge pins 7&8 of your OBD cable, and try then.

Says AG08/06, so I'm guessing Aug 2006. The cable is supposed to work as is, but I can try that.

You definitely need to bridge pins 7&8 for your 2 car models.

No go with pins 7 & 8 being jumped. Different error now. ZAE, BAE, ZAE2.... etc, etc. Waiting on another supposed plug and play cable with software.

I received a new cable and software disc today. Installed the INPA software with cable drivers and received the exact error IFH-0009. I then tried the old cable that I jumped the 7 & 8 pins as suggested and still had a problem. I checked the ODB.ini file and found it was set to com5, so I changed it to com1. I also had to copy it to the Windows directory because it wasn't working from C:\IDAIBAS\BIN. I also put a copy in System32 just to be sure. Everything works after doing that. I do get a pop-up saying language mismatch or something like that, but I can get in a do what I need, though the error is in German.
