MS908 won't diagnose 2007 Toyota Yaris, it only opens vehicle information page.

     Hi all. I have a customers 2007 Toyota Yaris in today with an ABS light on. I connected the MS908 and entered the VIN (auto VIN didn't find it) and was taken to the Vehicle Information Page for the Yaris. I was unable to navigate to the diagnostic links for the cars components. The vehicle info page only shows some info but doesn't allow me to actually diagnose anything on the Yaris.
    I then connected the MS908 to a VW Golf and had no problems getting to the diagnostics page and running a scan. It's the Yaris it isn't working with. Does this unit support the Yaris?

     Thanks edge65. It's weird that it communicated and gave me the vehicle information page, but the option to scan/diagnose just wasn't available.

     I found out what was wrong and fixed it.
    Today I had another Yaris (2009) and also a 2008 Corolla in and I got the same result with both, ie no option to diagnose. So I picked up the VCI and by chance felt the cable connector and noticed it wasn't pushed all the way in and the securing screws for the cable were not tightened. I tightenened it up and tried again, and everything is working fine now. :)
