you need ignition full on (not just accessory) with engine NOT running.

ie two pushes of start button (or key full on) dont press clutch or in auto leave in park so engine does not start



only diagnostic mode can have engine running

Thank you for the tip. This did the trick! I was interpreting "key on" to mean "turn the engine on" instead of just the ignition. Once I pressed the start button twice (with the clutch out) it was able to read and write the tune.

Thanks again!
