I initally had problems with mine, it was all down to drivers and com port settings.  Im sure someone local will be here to help soon.  If not, try downloading the software from Rosstech and follow their step by step instructions.

i just smash the code in the search on here and see what comes up (most things are covered) or just google the fault code, you'll be supprised how many websites are out there..... Rosstech wiki does cover most but some aren't very detailed.

Good luck!
