Can you help me please? What should I look for?
Juzam: Hello and welcome to the forum.
Wow, I have never heard of those symptoms - I would like to know how you did that (it's an interesting effect)!
Whilst you may have lost your autoscan file (how did you do that?), I'm hoping that you still have your CodingLog.CSV and ApdLog.CSV files. Just look in the Ross-Tech/Debug directory on the laptop that you used to make the changes. As the names imply each of the files will contain a record of the code-string and adaptation channel changes. The records contain both the before and after values - just revert to the original settings

Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.
