Re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

what am i doing wrong? i have the gendan set ( eventually found it under car in garden, but thats another story), i plug in the elm set port same as in device manager set speed same as in device manager, did test and it was ok, then whent to do proxy alinement and it kept saying error check lead and port setting, dont think it needs adapter i tred them anyway got same message.
whent back to setting doubled checked them they seem right, tried to run the test again and it says timed out.

Re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

I have exactly the same problem Dave let me know if you work it out im using the gendan kit but it wont connect to our multipla cannot try it on any of my other five fiats as they all too old!

 

[Shadeyman]

I'm able to access Engine, ABS and Power Steering with my ELM but I too am unable to do the Proxy Alinement.

Edit
Shouldn't your Latency Timer be set to 1 and not 16 and port speed to 38400, mine is?

thats what some one said in ltf thread, yanni says i have to set port speed higher

 

[Shadeyman]

Port speed. Check my previous post.

 

[sixpotman]

Have you tried it on a different vehicle
as the vehicle socket may be faulty or
bad earths can disrupt the signal to the adapter

i changed settings test now works but got different error, yanni said maybe battery hasnt enough power, possible as car been sitting for months even though it starts up fine

I got a v1.4 elm off flea bay, opened it up and took out RO4 on the board as was suggested somewhere on here. Reads all the Can, engine, service, body, although some actions need the cars security code. Haven't got the lead for the ABS as yet but will get it when I need it. FES is a brill bit of kit to use.

Any chance you can tell me how, I can't link to the CAN and I have an ELM 1.4
However, I am able to link to the Engine, Power Steering and ABS.

Power Steering and ABS I can't do. I used a sharpe knife and took out RO4 and it linked straight away. Had to up the speed to 36xxxx

For PAS and ABS you need a 'patch cable' which swaps the K-line into different pins to allow comms between ECU's and software (i think fiat did it to stop people easily messing with vital safety systems such as steering, brakes and SRS) all info on the patch cables is HERE

the patch cables you can buy at Gendan not a bad price either i can only find the OBD connectors and terminals for upwards of £5 EACH and id need 4 + wires + making them and they would look no where near as nice as those

 

[malibu_2004]

What about support for

AUTOLIV MY99 - airbag for Doblo 2001-2009 ?

Great software!
Many thanks!

No patch cable needed, read the FiatECUScan How To Guide.

NOTE: You have to solder a short wire between pins 1-7-9 of your interface's OBD connector in order to connect to ABS and Power steering ECUs. Also, you need to have a connection on pin 3 of the OBD connector in order to connect to airbags.

Edit
Personally I'd leave Pin 3 alone. Messing with airbags should be left to the professionals.

 

[richydraper]

no offence shadeyman... im SRS trained for the next year then i need to get it renewed lol apparently i am a professional.

having issues with my eBay special ELM lead... it can read engine ECU fine no probs can get into abs, power steering and brakes but it comes up with ' ELM327->ECU Connection failed' when trying to reset service light, looking at dash or body comp...

 

[Shadeyman]

No offence richy, professionally trained you may be but you said, I quote:

For PAS and ABS you need a 'patch cable'

No patch cable is needed for PAS and ABS as I stated earlier.

Your post never mentioned:

ELM327->ECU Connection failed' when trying to reset service light

Try here for a solution:

EDIT
Removing the R04 resistor worked for me.

 

[richydraper]

tu shay shadey!

i bought a set of cables off gendan http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_FESCBL.html theres no messing with modding existing cables hence the 'patch cable'.

looks like ill be taking my ELM cable to pieces soon then! good link i had read it before i got hold of the cables but my tired brain never made the connection ('scuse the pun)

This interface is compatible with ELM 327 1.4! Should connect properly with all CAN modules.

just about to email the ebay supplier about getting a wiring diagram for the PCB inside the module as i cant figure out from the FES forum thread about modding the resistors.

 

[Shadeyman]

Take a photo of both sides of the board, I'm sure someone here will be able to help. You never know, you may have the same board as me, problem solved.

FES 2.7

Thanks Downloading it now.

Have also atatched a screen shot of the module scan results when connected to my Multiwagon.

I know this software allows you to "Clear Errors" which are reported / stored... does this allow you to clear the "Service Due"?
The garage I use cannot clear the message, and it's being quoted £60 from the Main Dealer to clear it on their behalf... tut tut

 

[Davren]

Yes... it will reset the service interval counter but you will need the ELM327 interface and a registered version of FES.

Earlier versions of FES didn't need to be registered to reset the service interval.
