I recently picked up the AUTEL AL619 due to an issue I'm having with my 2006 Dodge Sprinter.  It recently through a light on the dash for ABS.  I also have a SRS light that's been there since I purchased the vehicle.  After reading many reviews, I found this scanner affordable and the benefit of having a scanner that can read ABS and SRS. 

The same day that I received the scanner, I hooked it up to the OBD2 port under the dash and started using the scanner by trying out the engine scan first.  It made a few clicking sounds and after about 20 seconds I had a full menu of options to read and erase codes.   I then went to the ABS/SRS section and selected the car that was being scan (the auto detect didn't work), once that was all done, after a few seconds I would get a error that the scanner won't communicate with the sis or abs system.  It gives me a few problem solving lines - check if engine is in key 2 position, check if battery is charged and so on - all of those things are fine and if they where not then the engine scan would have not worked. 

Please anybody with a similar problem.  HELP!!!!

Did I waste my money buying a expensive engine code reader??
