| Step | Action | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Check Device Manager | Plug in the CDP+. Does it appear? Is there a yellow warning? Does it disappear when unplugged? | | 2 | Install the Main Software First | Ensure the Autocom/Delphi software is installed before connecting the device. The drivers are often included in the installation. | | 3 | Manually Install Drivers | Use Device Manager to manually update the driver, pointing it to the software's driver folder as described in Part 3. | | 4 | Consider an Older Software Version | If using a clone (SN 100251), try a proven version like 2013.3 or 2017 Rev.3 instead of the latest release. | | 5 | Apply External Power | Connect the CDP+ to a vehicle's OBDII port or a 12V power supply while attempting USB communication. | | 6 | Test the USB Port and Cable | Try a different USB cable and a different port on your PC to rule out simple physical faults. | | 7 | Check for Hardware Faults | If you have soldering skills, inspect the USB socket connection on the PCB for poor solder joints. Resolder if necessary. | | 8 | Search the MHH AUTO Forum | If all else fails, use the forum's search function. Your specific problem has likely been solved and documented by other users. | autocom cdp- usb driver software - MHH AUTO - Page 1
