Bad information is worse than no information in our opinion. We highly recommend using Forscan which is free and offers amazing DTC and service procedure support. They also offer a paid version which allows key recoding and various other features. They support J2534 cables just like us. https://forscan.org/download.html Regarding DTC reset they are reset automatically after a flash write. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turboidiot Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Does forscan work with the tatrix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Turboidiot said: Does forscan work with the tatrix? Yes & no. I've found the OBDLink EX cable works better & haven't used the Tatrix with FORScan for quite some time until you asked the question. I've found the Tatrix to be temperamental with later versions of FORScan & Tatrix drivers. You will need to make sure you have the Tatrix selected in settings & the correct settings for it to work. I've just connected to a BA RTV pcm using Tatrix & bench loom which is why you'll see a lot of fault codes. I have several other pcm's which I've just connected to where the Tatrix won't connect or if it does, FORScan doesn't recognise the calibration or won't read DTC's. The OBDLink EX will connect & read all these pcm's & will read vehicle modules. After making changes to FORScan settings, disconnect the cable from laptop & pcm, then restart FORScan. Sometimes you may also need to reboot before reconnecting cable. Edited March 12, 2021 by Bill Additional info 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland@pcmtec Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Thanks for the great info as usual Bill. As Bill said the Tactrix works ok however it does not support medium speed canbus, this means you won't be able to do some procedures and connect to some modules (eg the radio etc). The cheap ELM327 cables eg the one Bill recommended are actually better for this job than the Tactrix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
