[s-cars] S6 Tach reading low RPM's

[Robert Rossato]

Maybe there's a problem with your interface cable.  Are you using a 3rd
party interface cable, or one from Ross-Tech?  If you have one from
Ross-Tech, e-mail Uwe.  They're very helpful.  If it's a 3rd party
cable, that may be the problem.  They won't work with the latest
versions of the software.
