AlfaOBD

I contacted tech support for my Android tablet, and they said the issue was with the app on Google Play, and NOT my tablet. They told me to email Alexey about the problem (which I did--again) and to report the issue in the Google Play store.

I find that hard to believe, I would bet it's a google play issue. It's up to the play store to update the app, not the app it self so Alexey probably can't do anything about it.
I would uninstall the app and reinstall the latest version, that would be the easiest way around it. I don't think there is anything earth shattering in the newest update so don't think you are missing much of anything?

Yes, and the I change that back to 117 liters, the problem now is that my ABS and my CHECKS engine lights are on now, I don't know if I trigger something or not but I did everything that I was suppose to do, you know to change one thing and back out and wait 5 minutes before you mess with it again, but I have an appointment next week at the dealer to get that taken out.

Now from what I understand that you had a bigger fuel tank install in your ram did you ever get that work out so your truck can read the right amount fuel tank?

I haven't changed my tank, I just grabbed the setting from the shared config data out on the Google Drive (Access info is in the first post of this thread). The Check Engine and ABS lights should not have anything to do with the tank settings. Have you done a regular code scan to see what trouble codes are causing the lights to go on? Alpha can check codes or if you're using the MX dongle the software it comes with is decent as well. Let's see what the computer thinks is wrong.

I've uninstalled the app. When I return to the Google Play store, it wants me to pay another $49!.

Are you signed in to the same google account you purchased under? Apparently it doesn't think you are authorized to own it that's why it wouldn't update. If you are find the receipt for purchase and contact google.

Yes, I am signed in to the same account. All my other apps update just fine. What's strange, is AlfaOBD doesn't show up under "My apps" even though the icon is on the home screen.

I got a reply from Alexey, and the problem has been solved!

Awesome. Sorry if I led you down a rabbit hole, that was a strange one?

Great, and thank you again for your help, I figure that it didn't have nothing to do with the ABS and the CHECKS engine coming on. The code that I was getting was dealing with the fog lights and the rear license plate light I put some led's bulb in but I did went into my alfaobd and have the to read it with the led's.

I clear all of the fault that I was getting so now pretty much I'm letting it alone until I can take it to the dealer Tuesday and after that I have some highbeams led's that I want to install in my projector headlight.

I had made an appointment with the dealer about two weeks ago because the engine is making some winding noise so I'm that they can take care of that.

So when I get it back from the dealer and I want to install those led's in my highbeam where do I go from there in my alfaobd I know that I go to car configuration but after that do I find LED's HEADLIGHT HIGH BEAM to change that to led's is that correct?

Great, I love it when things get resolved, so what did he do?

Just so you know- if you have a check engine light illuminated, that means there is a fault in the engine module or abs module. When you are connected to the body computer with AlfaOBD, and you scan for faults, you are ONLY scanning the BCM. That’s why you only saw a few “B” faults that had to do with lighting, which don’t set off a check engine light.
You need to connect to each individual module one at a time, and scan each one for faults. Start with the engine module.

22 alpha obd support? Should I yank my bypass harness out of the 18?

And there were at one time three of the 'B' fault and when I click on one of them to take that one out it took all of them out the same time but I haven't recheck it to see if there were any others ones.

Don’t connect to the body computer to scan for faults. Those faults in the body computer are not causing the check engine light. You need to connect to the engine and read those faults.

 

[Bigdaddy]

Oh, okay thank you, I miss that one but I will go and do it that way.

I was sent a special link to download the update, then had to request another activation code.

 

[Bigdaddy]

This is good to hear that they took care of you.

Okay today I went to that menu like you mention and I had three code or faults it was P2509, P0501 and U1412 I was able to clear all of them but the U1412 fault, I did try two times but it's still there. I clear the faults last night and I disconnect the Neg. battery and left it up hook all night hoping that it would reset itself.

It's still there but I will keep trying until I take it back to the dealer Tuesday but by Monday I will take out my bypass cable and put it back when they get done.

Implausible wheel speed.
Now, connect to the ABS module and scan that for faults. Clear those, then go back to engine and try to clear that fault again.

 

[Bigdaddy]

Okay so how do I connect to the ABS module, Body Computer, Car configure and then? I can go and do that right now but I want to do it right.

 

[Bigdaddy]

Oh Body Computer, dodge 2018, connect and go to the car with the open hood and clear all? Oh okay instead of going to Engine I will go to ABS and go from there?
