Just purchased an OBD II Scanner from the US, seems to work okay on my DII

Reads and clears any faults

Well you know what the first question is going to be ..... how much was it?

ladas

AU$80.00 including shipping, which I thought even if it didn't work on the DII I haven't wasted a great deal, and could sell it onto someone who had a car it did work on.

......but as I said - seems to be working fine

Do you know anyone with a 2002 or later model TD5 Disco to try it on?

Dunno yet, I need a few vehicles to try it on, but the manual states

most 1996 onwards usa
most 2001 onwards rest of the world Petrol
2004 diesel EU makes

I'll try and find a 2002 TD5 to test it on.

No Diesel Landys to USA,I wonder if its just a matter of getting it "patched" or similar.

Just been looking through the manual and it does look promising.

Hi All
Please let it work on a TD5 I will order one the next day. Its not the $115 to reset the codes its the 2hrs + to get to the nearest dealer.
Regards
Doug

Well if anyone with a TD5 is in spitting distance of me - we could meet half way and test it.

in about 2-3 weeks time I will be wheeling past sydney on my way to ipswich (dont you read all the threads?)

I was thinking then if you dont find someone sooner


the plug in a TD5 110 deefer is at about the front right of the driver seat, looks about the same size as a db15 joystick plug.. but different

As said no Td5's in USA. However it may still work with the Lucas ECU. The unit is CAN-bus and OBDII compliant with European cars (meaning ISO as apposed to SAE OBDII codes). What it most likely won't do is talk to BCU, SLABS or EAT ECU's so all you will get is any engine fault codes.

The main thing most of the US vehicles need a unit for is to clear the Engine Service light.

Only one way to find out....

I'll be interested to hear how it goes.

It has I/M testing - and whist there were a few things it didn't couldn't read there were many they it did.

Give me a mo and I'll see what it does test.

ladas
30th January 2007, 09:54 PM
We that didn't take long.

The protocol it connects to mine is ISO, and apart from reading, and giving you the ability to erase the fault, it goes into I/M and on mine it read/checked the following

Misfire
Fuel
CCM ??
CAT
EVAP
O2s
HO2s

It does not seem to read/check

HCM
2AIR
AC
EGR

Sounds like it only talks to the Engine ECU then. Still it obviously does more than just list/clear the fault codes.

No idea what CCM is :confused:

I'm all TLA'd out today though.

I have asked SWMBO for one for my B'day. It will at least work on her ford so if it doesn't do the TD5 it's not a total loss.
