autotuner simos 18 write obd patch failed

Possible solution:

1. Change software version. Do a software update/downgrade and then tune to new file and try again

Click write from server, and pick one version newer (upgrade) or one version older (downgrade).

Use 007, its pretty ok version for tuning.

 

2. If that doesn’t work, use different tool (Flex etc). Some users reported they also have no luck with 0010 version using autotuner.
