Fix YANHUA ACDP Module 2 FEM "Operation Timeout, Retry" Error

Issue & Fix: A YANHUA ACDP Module 2 stopped USB polling during FEM preprocessing and, after waiting about 20 minutes, displayed the error "Operation timeout, retry".

Diagnostic / Action Steps

1. Identify the FEM through OBD. 

2. Check whether the recognized version and code are correct. 

3. If both are recognized correctly, proceed directly with key programming. 

4. If the recognized information is abnormal, restore the following options on Mini ACDP:
