Use V157 Can Clip
During using the V157 Can Clip, the four indicated lights flashed at first. When I came to the diagnostic menu, the CAN indicator light off and the connection can’t be established. After consulting with professional engineers, I got two methods to solute the problems.
1 Try to install the software on another laptop, and do not connect with power.
2 Try to diagnostic car with K-line protocol. If it works, but can’t diagnostic car with CAN protocol. Turn back to factory for check is the best way.
