G code to fix Quick Change Tool Post not accurate

I have a mini lathe and have all the tools set up. The problem in that when I run the intercon program, I realized that the tool post is not accurate to relocate the tool properly.
Is there a way to add G code to move the post to a 0 0 position so when I put the tool on I can see it is in the right position?

I tried adding the Gcode with intercon but would not respond to my position and test the position.

I'm Lost.............. Help

I'd say set your G28 to move the tool post to the position that you want for a tool change.

You can also edit the G-code in a text editor and see if G28 is called, if it is not, it is easy to add the call.
