    It's a stick shift car?
    Sorry, I am just kidding. I have done that before on a full inspection of a car. Took a few seconds to realize why I could not connect.
    What car is it and what is the actual issue you are looking to diagnose?

    Not all the tools can connect to the early TCUs ... even if they advertise so !
    Don't you have a TEXA ?

    Which TCU do you have ?
    Have you already connected the tool to your TCU before, or is it the first try ?

    You should be fine with any 360 TCU with ref higher or equal to 191701 ... including the CS TCU (196986)

    That is actually the second version then 3rd version on the Autel, as Eric says, upgrade the TCU and it will be fine and better. BUT make sure the clutch settings are recorded or if you self learn, it will give hard shifts or a flare between shifts.....and you may need to input the new numbers.

    Received a reply from Julia at Autel. The system currently that is capable of reseting codes: MaxiSys Pro MS908P J2534. Appears Autel developed a code interface tool J2534 that works with the latest generation software.
