speaking of toaf, whilst doing a service reset on the ipk of my ZT, i noticed after completion that i had the airbag light come on.
Disappeared after the first restart and never returned since.
Wondering if there is anything in toaf re bleeding the brakes via abs.?

Ok, following on from this, I have the same issue. I have a cd with the drivers on but i've just realised my laptop i'm using doesn't have a cd drive! I see on the TOAF downloads there is a driver on there but its a .rar file. Any idea how to get it installed?

The .rar file is a compressed file, you'll need an extraction programme to open it, and then run as normal. I use Unarchiver on my Macbook, there's a Windows version of the same programme, Google it.

Just download the free winrar, it will unpack this and almost every other file archive you can find .
I use it all the time

Airbag light? According to your profile you've late model 75s so will need the small Autoliv programme available on the same Toaf website. The programme won't run with XP, needs Vista or later.

Right, so i've now unzipped the driver folder from the TOAF website and got a number of files........what do I do now? TOAF isn't finding the coms port.
