I have a Harbor Freight 60794. Identical to the Autel MS609. Takes the same updates. Last update was 12/25/2013. I bought it used because it was supposed to read ABS codes, but of course it wouldn't read (or wouldn't *properly* read) the ABS module on a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer, falsely claiming 'no codes stored' when Autozone's reader could read it.

I also have ForScan, which I've used pretty often to program new keys. It works with the VCMII clone I have from ChinaCarDiags. They quite frequently put out firmware updates for it, which is surprising. I expected it to be one of those 'throw it on the market then do squat' things like cheap Chinese Android tablets that never get updates.

I cleared the KAM in the ECU but that changed nothing. Probably should do the P1000 drive cycle but there's nowhere around here that's ideal for that. Would be nice if there was some place that had a dyno, or even just some rollers to put it on to run it through that.
