can Forcan program 6.0 modules?

Hi, i have Forscan with extended license running on Windows PC, and using the generic ELM327 adapter. It will connect to the 6.0 ecu and show a general list of modules under the Vehicle info icon. However, when I click on the Chip icon for Configuration/Programming, none of the modules shows up on that screen at all. So is Forscan unable to program the 6.0 modules? Or could it be due to my generic OBD adapter I'm using? thanks

This sounds like an adapter problem. Especially if it is an inexpensive, newer one (lots of cloned chips). If you want to make any changes using Forscan you should be using a quality adapter anyway. The cheap ones are OK for reading data (sometimes) but don't risk anything else

OBD Link Ex or Mx work very well.
