Hello to everybody,
I have an alfa 159 1.9 JTDm 8v with multiscan regular license, but when i try to work on it, it give me access only to the engine ecu! for all other ecu it says:
"ELM 327-> ECU connection failed!"
how can i fix it? if i check all the cu, it finds me only the engine.
Thank you!

Regular license means registered?
Did you try the Adapter Cable A1?

1) Well, for some modules your car NEEDS A1
2) The free version only reads Engine and CAN info
3) Any other doubts?

thank for your kind answer:
1) i have a registered version
2) i need to reset service message but it gives me the failed connection.
Have i to buy the adapter cable even for the service? because i read that elm 327 was enough but maybe i'm wrong
