Most serial to USB are shit and u will find it won't stay connected. Suggest a brand called Aten which also has LEDs to show if it's got an error or is connected. I found this out when I have tried 5 other brands and bingo hope it helps :)

Does the LED light up when its connected or when there's data transfer? Want to confirm 100% that its my ECU that's fucked
