Can't find it either but found this on an Alfa forum that might help https://www.alfaowner.com/threads/9...ntroller-repair-source.1207668/#post-17793062

I have tried this page to set it up
https://forum.alfa145.com/index.php?showtopic=23196&st=20
At number 8 i get an error
Is not recognized as a internal or external command
I have it working on multiecuscan with the ports set up but it will only read trw2 if you purchase the full version
Any help appreciated

Hi, has anybody managed to get TRW2SCAN to work
Hi shaun,
Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. I'm sure you have read through it already, but just in case, the Trw2scan wiki points to another thread that is slightly more recent (last one Nov-21), than the one you refer to. In page 8 (2014-2016) the contributors go into some of the fine print of getting the Trw2scan to work avoiding some common pitfalls (including Chinese "knock-offs" odb with a CH340 chip vs the genuine FT232), and there are some members who claim success:
Perhaps there is some morsel of info in there that can sort it out for you.
Good luck, and keep us updated!

Never had to try but happy to try to help. Whereabouts are you based?
Your earlier error looks like an issue with extracting the utility earlier in in the process. If you're local to me I can wander over and look or I can send some ideas over...

I have a screenshot which flashes up quickly, it is the same message whether it is contacted or not

When you get that message are you just double-clicking the trw2scan.exe file? The output looks like what you're get if trw2scan isn't reading it's obd file. It's basically found your OBD adapter but then not had any instructions to process. What happens if you single click on trw2.obd and drag and drop it on to trw2scan.exe? As you hover the drag over trw2scan.exe it should show something like 'Open with trw2scan.exe'. That should give trw2scan.exe the file it needs to work.
If that isn't working then I'm driving from Bristol to Malmesbury this afternoon so depending where you are in Bath I could drop in

No problem, that's good news. I've never had to do this for myself so I'm on shaky ground giving advice. Is the ECU still in the car connected up or have you removed it. I ask because the errors seem to show an issue with the pretensioners' connections

I had a airbag light on when I bought the car and have removed the seats and clean the contacts and put them back in

Everything is still in the car. I have just reset it with no problems. Just have pretensioner side circuit interrupted
Careful!
From the wiki:
"Airbags should be replaced by 3.3Ohm "dummy" resistors for safety reasons in order to prevent the ECU from detecting the missing airbags. For disonnecting the airbags follow the workshop manual!"
"ATTENTION: It is strongly recommended NOT to use this software while the airbags are connected to the ECU! For disconnecting follow the procedure proposed in the respective workshop manual. E.g. disconnect the battery and wait for 10 minutes before disconnecting the airbag."
The chance for the airbags activating might be slim, but is it worth the risk? If they by chance activate, are you able to source new ones?

Thanks tjr, I took a chance and it work OK. Would the pretensinor side circuit on the passenger side be a bad connection as that is the only error now
