I ordered mine on a Monday night and didn't receive tracking until Thursday night.

Cool. I’ve been wondering about those guys.

Tech 2 arrived.

I hooked it up and ran the self tests and such, in the house, before going out to the Burb and playing with all the menus.

I think I turned my TPMS monitors up to 45 psi from the 32 psi it was programmed to originally, but I'm not 100% sure... lol

I set the front and rear tires as P metric standard and changed the pressure to 45 psi but when I go into view the data it was showing 148 psi. I'm guessing this is because I didn't drive the truck afterwards but not sure.

Any insight on the TPMS from anyone who has changed the pressure it expects to see would be great.

I also looked for the transmission oil life % monitor so I could reset it, since I changed all the fluid out but didn't have a way to view it or reset it before. I can't seem to locate that in any of the menus. Maybe the 4L60E doesn't have the % monitor like the 6L80E???

Do you have to purchase a TIS license to see that stuff on ours? And use Tech2 as pass through?

the tisweb license is $40 for 2yrs of programming (per vin), it's only for doing calibrations if one or all of your modules needs a update or if you need to calibrate a replacement module to work with your vin

I ask because last time I tried mine it wouldn't give me the options for the 07. I had bought it to set timing on my OBD-1 6.5

Been a little while back, I will plug it up tonight and refresh my memory..

OBD-1, wasn't '95 the last year for that? Does the Tech2 work on OBD-1?

The Tech 2 will do back to 1991 for some models. 1991 only pulls up options for a Saturn in my Tech 2.

1992 and up basically and everything is limited on vehicles before 1996 because they are OBD-1.

No TIS needed for what I was doing.

I just tried mine and i can get it to open and select but tells me candi mod not connected. Ran diagnostics on candi and it says pass but won't let me do any scans.

The connectors to the CANdi module and the Tech 2 cable can be VERY difficult to get together. I had to put a little lube on mine and work them quite a bit to get a good connection. Hopefully you can get the latch to latch; mine gets close enough to work.

I did double check the connection and they are latched. I will try a little dielectric grease later. I have had my fill tonight.. early morning coming.
