Ah, yes I have looked at it. I just didn't put two and two together on the abbreviation

Okay, what cable do I need to buy to connect to a laptop? I know I've seen someone say somewhere, but a quick search of the forum didn't reveal anything.

Hi just looked through the thread. What do you need to plug the car in for as i understand you had an error code and cleared it.

What is not working?

The power steering cuts out at a certain speed and I was getting a speed sensor failure code.
varesecrazy was saying multiECUscan could give more of a clue as to where the signal is lost. All I've been using is a bluetooth ELM327 adaper and the app Torque, which I understand is much more basic.
