Question regarding OBDII / ELM327 / AMDS devices: I’d like to perform the Clutch Bedding / Wear Index Procedure described in Service Bulletin SB-08-0315V4 (aka SB-07-0315V4?) at home myself.
Has anyone successfully performed this procedure without an AMDS? And if not, do you know if your OBDII scanner can read the ClutchWearIndex aka CluWearIndex PID? Preferably also the CluTuneKiss, CluRef, and CluStroke PIDs?
Are you using a Foxwell NT510 or NT530? Or an ELM327 dongle to iPhone/Android scanner app? If so, pls let me know which combo of dongle and app! Or are you using Autel MaxiDiag, Torque Pro, etc etc whatever other solution?

Ps, the SB calls out a bunch of preparation steps like making sure all software is up to date, all relevant problems are first repaired, etc. A mechanic who used AMDS on the car ~1yr ago did a bunch of updating, so for now I’m going to assume that it’s all sufficiently up to date (given that the SB is from many yrs ago). So fingers crossed that I can get away with doing this at home w/o AMDS...
Also, I’ll be first following the Flywheel Profile Data Learn Procedure for Relearning Misfire Correction Factors as described in the other Service Bulletin SB-30-0313. I believe the learn status flag 36-1 PID can be viewed by non-AMDS devices, and because my car is earlier than V8V VINs 13435, I should be able to reset it simply by disconnecting the battery for a bit.
