I don't blame you one bit. I got suckerd into the latest and greatest discontinued unit.

They released the newest Zeus scanner 1 month before you could even get a software update and the Zeus came with the new software. While I dont care for the Zeus platforum, It irked me that they no longer sell the verus right after that. They are also trying to force everyone to go online with the newest scanner lines and maintain an active software subscription. I almost did the same thing. I wanted to Pack it up and say come get it. I am done with you guys.

I likely won't update it until the last software release and I will never buy or recommend there scanners to any one in the field again. I will however point out every flaw and encourage people to save their money and purchase other devices and work with those flaws instead.

In a manner of speaking I changed fields. I work on cnc equipment now rather than vehicles. You still take a similar approach but I have weekends off, A lot less tools needed and the company I work for supplies the basic tools I need. Anything heavy, the customer is responsible for.

The nice thing is, you don't get sent home when it's slow.

Isn't P0068 MAP/MAF - Throttle Position Correlation

Have you done the following:
Checked for leaks
Inspected air filter
Checked the MAF sensor for contamination
Tried swapping known good MAF with yours

Mine was bad on my 06 with Flex fuel. Kept throwing bank 1 bank 2 lean codes. everything appeared normal But drive it long enough and it would throw that lean code.

Last ditch effort, I borrowed one from another truck and problem solved. Still on there now as a matter of fact.
