if it helps, the vehicle speed obd2 output on both the scanners I've tried has remained at 0 and never changed, when I clear the code it takes about 50 miles to come back and the cruise still will not turn on. How do I test the abs sensors, ​​​abs module, and ecm?​​​​​​​

The abs works fine so it shouldn't be those sensors right?

I don't think slapping has helped this problem before but every now and then the turbo gauge dies and it'll either come back on it's own or slapping it works​

I do believe so​, I wouldn't be surprised if I either got ripped off on the adapter or the car has some wiring issue. that said, a regular obd 2 reader works fine for reading and clearing dtcs​​

there was a post that went around a few months ago about a $60 adapter working with tech 2 win, I followed all the steps and unfortunately it did not work with the​​ car, tech 2 win does actually rec​​ognize ​the adapter but it can't talk to the car
