Driver Troubleshooting
When installing CDS G3, the software will check for a previous installation of the SmartCraft diagnostic interface cable, also
known as a Kvaser cable. If CDS G3 does not recognize the SmartCraft diagnostic interface cable, the CAN P and CAN H
status indicators will be shown in red on the CDS G3 screen, and the green power (PWR) light on the CDS G3 SmartCraft
diagnostic interface will flash. Follow these instructions to install the driver.
1. Close all running computer programs, including CDS G3.
2. Unplug the SmartCraft diagnostic interface cable from the computer if it is plugged in.
3. Wait a few moments, then plug the SmartCraft diagnostic interface cable into the computer.
4.
When the Found New Hardware indicator opens in the lower right‑hand corner of the screen, click on the indicator.
5.
The Found New Hardware Wizard window will open, and it will ask if Windows can connect to Windows Update to
search for software. Select No, not this time. Click Next to continue.
