  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I purchased and received the tool, I have not yet used it. Does anyone here have any experience with the tool? I purchased it mainly for the issue im having with the front parking sensor hoping it can fix it or tell me what is causing the issue. Im planning on using it sometime this week.

First, you need to install software on your laptop, and then connect the OBD cable between the car and the computer.

start the software, and then click "auto vin". If you want to find fault code from engine & A/T &aircon, then select "engine" "a/t" "air/con". and then click "fault code searching".

So I tried connecting yesterday and could not get the tool to talk to the car. It connects to the laptop and the program sees it. No communication to the car. I did install it on a toughbook with windows 10. I have an XP laptop that I will install the software on.
 
I installed it with winxp

check the VCI indicate light.

Those lights are on. The vehicle com light does not come on at all. It is getting power from it when connected to the ODB2 port but no data.

Does anyone know how well these will register misfires? I am having a hell of a time tracking one down, it's very intermittent and torque/etc is useless for an occasional misfire
