Did you try it several times and each time it just kept saying waiting?

Might seem dumb but make you have it plugged in firmly. I had a issue with my Xcal 3 programmer once and turns out I just didn't have it plugged in right. lol

Disconnect the battery for about 1/2 hour and re-connect CEL should be gone ...then if it sets another code try to read again.
