Do you have any more info on the turret as I would imaging it needs a bit more than just a 2s of 0v unless it just indexes one station at a time?
To call a tool in Turn there is no need for the M6 although you can use if you wish, the Tool call however is TXXYY where XX is the tool number and YY is the offset. For example T0101 would be tool 1 offset 1, T0802 would be tool 8 offset 2. Normally you would have the tool number and offset the same but if you have more tools that you can put in the stations you can set them all up and thus call them without having to reset the offsets. On my lathe I have a front and a rear turret both have 6 positions so I have T01 to 12 but offsets go up to 99 depending which tool is in the slot, see screenshot below of my tool table page showing different tools for different offset numbers.
