For those forced to use newer operating systems:

: A loose chip or poor soldering on the main board can prevent the device from reading the SD card programs, leading to protocol errors.

: Try connecting to a common ECU (like a Bosch EDC16) to see if the error is specific to one protocol. Setup Menu

Based on user reports and troubleshooting guides (e.g., discussions found on obd365), these are the primary reasons for this error:

The "Protocol not found" error on a Kess V2 tuning tool typically indicates a of the internal microSD card or a software mismatch between the K-Suite version and the device's firmware . 1. Fix the Internal MicroSD Card

Ensure the SD card slot is firmly soldered to the PCB.

This error typically appears when you click "Identify" or "Read" and the software cannot establish a communication standard with the vehicle’s ECU. Before you assume your ECU is locked or your tool is broken, let’s break down exactly why this happens and how to fix it.
