I'm new to Multiecuscan & this forum.
Whilst trying to establish exactly which model/ ECU's I have, I noticed that it does not know the vin number or year of my Ducato. Any ideas why & if I can Input them.

VIN reading is not supported on all vehicles. Only later ones.
If you have your VIN code then the first 3 digits tell you what your model is. See: https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Fiat/DUCATO
You can then work from there by using the Vehicles Supported List here on MES site or you can select your Ducator Model in MES and use the Scan function.

So a Ducato 2014+
Probably a 290 or 295. Can't be sure.
Did you check the Vehicles Supported List I advised you to do. MES support the 290 versions so select Ducato 290 and your engine and see where you get with a Scan and actually trying to connect to once of the vehicles ECUs/Nodes.

Yes, done that thanks. It appears to be working ok, I have cleared a fault code & reset the service & oil change intervals.
Perhaps it's because it doesn't seem to recognise the ECU code?
00 03 40 79 14. Invalid ISO code

Don't forget todo the Engine ECU Oil Change Reset if you have a DPF fitted. This is separate / additional to the normal Service Reset.
