the tool we got is compatable with the car, it reads ISO protocols and the Nubira ECU uses ISO protocol... right? the socket itself got plugged on the OBDII port on the car and the box thing started to power up and flash and all but all the readings on the diagnosis software didn't read a single value.
we kept on getting this error: BUS INIT: ...ERROR

we followed the flow chart and reached nothing... actually i am begining to think the ECU protocol is not compatable with the tool but i am not qualifyed to say that, you know my electronics knowledge sucks.
what the hell is the deal with that tool? are we doing something wrong? is this a comptability issue? i got no idea and the frustration is sky high.

here is the basic data that you can use to help me fighure this out:
Car:
origonally had a 1.6 16 valve engine and it is running with one CAT, one O2 sensor and no cam position sensor... i don't have the code for that engine now but i recon it can be something like C16SED.
for the 2.0 swap we got a T20SED and we hooked it up to the 1.6 ECU so we still using one O2 sensor and no cam position sensor (as far as i understand we transformed the T20SED to C20SED... right??)
the scan tool:
an ElmScan ISO interface package:

we didn't have a serial port on the IBM laptop so we got a serial-to-USB converter to let it work, on every software used the connection is established but we got no readings whatsoever... only the BUS INIT: ...ERROR
software:
used various OBDII scans, diagnostics, readers, HP calculators and all gave the same error.
please help guys, we are running out of ideas here... we are going to try the scan tool on a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer to make sure it works, we found out that the socket on the Lanos is not compatable with the tool's cable (i.e. socket on lanos no like Nubira) so we are going to try a different car, also we are going to try it on a stock Nubira to see if this issue due to the different engine we got on the car.
please guys, any opinions or ideas are welcomed.
