Scan Gauge II Help!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I the best gift from my wife this year, a Scan Gauge II I was extremely happy to finally be able to get my baby back to tip top shape but only to find out that these little sucker are kinda difficult to figure out. I went they the set up after not being able to get it to connect for about an hour and now i cant get it to read any of my codes. I no that I have them because I have my egr unplugged and just last week on my Diablo Predator I finally got the p0611 ficm code. What am i missing or doing wrong?

Go through the manual and make sure you set it up the way it needs to be.

Key needs to be in the on position. (which you probably have, just saying)

Sometimes when we are playing with this tool, we need to unplug it for a moment. Resets it. Then plug back in, turn key on. (this also gives the OBD2 port to re-connect to the SGII)

It should start reading for you.

When entering your Xgauges, triple check your entries. I have entered quite a few Xgauges, and I still screw up. Then I recheck my entries. Yes, I had something wrong.

The SGII is getting better at scanning for codes, but not sure if they have gotten it there yet.
