According to the datasheet on the FT232R, Plug+Play should only be enabled for devices which are common and use their own drivers, such as serial-based mice and modems. Enabling plug-and-play will cause the computer to search beyond the USB-TTL adapter and look for further hardware. Since the ECU does not fall into this category, Plug-and-Play should remain disabled (saves some CPU cycles).

I did, however, reprogram the cable (just now, not prior to testing) to set it to "self-powered" mode. This causes the +5V Out line to become dead. Since we are not connecting current to our ECUs, I feel this is more efficient. It still does not fix my problem however.
