obd11 systems

[Aaron]

for checking/erasing fault codes
which is a good system but still fairly cheap??

[MiDnighTcLuB]

ELM327.. bout £15 from the bay :)

[Aaron]

can u link me to the one you,ve got?

does it say the code on the handheld screen ???
so u can find out what the fault is?

can it remove codes? eml light and abs lights etc?

[MiDnighTcLuB]

it's not a handheld code reader bud, it's a usb to rs32 converter that you plug into your laptop/pc then you use whatever software you want to remove mil, abs etc etc :)

Just search elm327 obd2 into ebay and you'll get loads of results, all do the same thing tho :)

[Aaron]

whats difference between elm 327 and 323??

i have a 51 plate 3 plug ecu car?

[MiDnighTcLuB]

get a 327 mate, 323 is only for a certain protocol.. i think CAN something... 327 is more universal and should work perfect :)

323 or 327 will be fine with a 3 plug car.

Anyone used elm327 on a 3 plug vts? i have elm327 1.4 version from ebay and 2001 3 plug vts,can read and erase faults,but from engine sensors only thing that works is RPM gauge:wacko: i tried all softwares Pcmscan,scanmasterELM,proscan... and nothing:n:

That's all you can do to Saxos with OBD1/ 2.

Need the proper Pug/ Cit daignostic geaer for airbag, ABS faults etc.

I thought you can read some other sensors,like inlet air temp,pressure,water temp and stuff like that,tnx for info ;)
