Thread: P38 Diagnostics

This may have been asked before but which is the preferred ?? diagnostic tool for a 2000 model P38 ??? Regards

Kermit31,

For your Electronic Air Suspension (EAS)-

There is a program called "EASunlock" and is available from www.rswsolutions.com . Storey has a couple of video's on the site to help users.

I have just purchased the items I need from Jaycar to make the lead required, (unless you want to buy one from Storey)

Pt#.......... item.................................. Qty........................ Cost

WB1578.... cable (9wire) ......................3m ........................$5.70
PP0720..... OBD2 plug ...........................1 ........................$24.95
PM0808.... plastic backshell for D9 plug ....1 .........................$2.25
PM0804 ....D9 connector (solder type) .....1 .........................$1.95


And Faultmate MVS-2 Nano or Extreme is another good one for the rest of the car. Check out https://blackbox-solutions.com/shop/ .

Although I haven't got one of these, or a P38 either (yet), I have been looking into "the good stuff to get". Check other replies for recommendations and go from there.
