It works on my 03 diesel to read temps, torque, boost etc, but when I run diagnostics it comes up with 'No faults found' which may be because I don't have any faults, but alternatively could mean its not picking them up! Helpful I know!

As you say, you probably don't have any faults. Try unplugging something whilst the car is running. You'll soon see a result then and know 100% that it works

it would be working if it says no faults found ,if it wasnt reading the car it would come up as no communication
