Unable to read module faults

Trying my GAPII BT out today for the first time, I tried to access various modules and got Fault codes and they were not available.

Read ccf Backup-Operation failed Code E0

SAS- Operation failed Code E3
Park Brake-Operation failed Code E3
RLM- Operation failed Code E3

The tool has the latest version software and has identified one fault which I am aware of and have a replacement to fit.
B1D97-492F Tilt Sensor internal failure

Are the above "E Codes" generic or specific to the GAP ?

Another question-how do you guys take a "Screenshot" of the GAP page on your iPhones/iPads and save it ? Relocated to Mid France from N. Wales March 2021

If all those models are on the same can bus e.g. mscan hscan
Then poor contacts on the diagnostic plug.

Hold Right and press left top I think ?

Thanks for the fast reply Pete-appreciated

I'll start by giving the OBD socket a good clean first but I remember cleaning it when I took the complete dash & console out earlier in the year to replace the upper dash which had cracked in the sun. Have visitors here this week so will try a quick clean with switch cleaner first and if that fails will delve deeper with the multimeter.
Will update with progress.

Does anyone use a Windows laptop with USB lead or Bluetoth connection to the GAPIIBT- would be handy for printing readouts etc ?

I've just ordered a new OBD2 connector, prewired, just in case it turns out that the one on the car is dodgy for £8

It’s usually pin size problems rather than dirt.
An obd extension maybe an idea.

USB cable is mainly for updating the tool

My Mongoose (JLR SDD) OBD adaptor/Interface works fine but maybe the pins may be slightly larger but it's difficult to measure the exact pin sizes given the shroud on the plug body.
I have a spare male OBD2 extension lead that I could adapt initially by wiring the socket I have ordered to it to check continuity.
Thanks for your suggestion-I hadn't thought of that

Sent GAP support an email outlining the codes etc and he suggests doing a hard reset and trying the tool out again. I will do that tomorrow and update GAP and here. Relocated to Mid France from N. Wales March 2021
