FREE to try Fiat diagnostic software

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

That would be great! Stilo airbags are a common problem (as I have recently found ) so that would be a fantastic feature!

I know your software is freeware, but I think you should have one of those paypal 'Donate' buttons on your site. I'm sure plenty of people would be willing to donate a little if your software helps them to trace a fault with their car (I know I would.)

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

You can do Stilo airbags already with SanderQV's KWP71 diag and also alfadiag.

No matter what software - you will need to modify your KKL interface to do this. ABS is on Pin1 and Airbag on Pin3 of the diagnostic connector, so if you want to communicate with them you can either merge pin 1,3 and 7 together or fit a switch to select between them.

Saying that the interface in this new software is excellent, maybe you could look at taking the data from some of the unidiag/kwp71 definition files and adding them into your program yani?

Brilliant! Need to get to the bottom of this airbag fault ASAP. By merging the pins, will it not affect any other functionality?

When i search for SanderQV it often refers to Unidiag... are they the same thing? Will unidiag do airbags?

Unidiag does do some airbags - but not the stilo ones so KWP71 diag works on those. Join the unidiag group on yahoo (its been mentioned on here a few times).

Merging the pins together shouldnt cause you problems as the control units attached to each pins have different addresses so you wont get conflicts when they are initialised.

See here http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/UniDiag/ - if you get stuck PM me..

BTW - sorry for taking this off topic - Back to FiatECUScan

I already have the data from another source. It just takes time to add the data for each ECU.
Also, speaking about airbags - they use another protocol for communication, so I need to implement it first... Anyway, I will do it, it's just a matter of time...

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

Current version works only with K-line cables (KKL, VagCom).
ELM 327 is not supported.

Just bought a cable but no luck with my JTD (non OBD compliant).

Not sure if this is due to a non supported ECU but the Gendan software works fine on mine.

Can anyone confirm success with a JTD ?

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

Dropping the FIFO buffers down to the minimum can help with connection issues, it in the driver properties for the virtual com port in device manager.

I know Johnson550 has had it going with his mjet sporting, not a non-eobd compliant JTD granted.

Make sure the plug is all the way in as well, as the quality of these devices is often a little flaky. To test the serial side is working okay connect the interface to the car, open hyperterminal (at any speed) and if the device is powered when you will get the characters echoing back. If not the KKL interface isnt getting any power.

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

It works on my Marea JTD 110 at least Ive done errors I havent fathomed the rest out yet but it connects up first time everytime.

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

My 1.2 does nothing when trying to connect (Bosch ABS 5.7) and then the software gives up. Bridging the pins lets me connect for a brief second before the software says 'Reconnecting,' and at the same moment, the car comes up with ABS, EBD, ASR failure until i unplug the interface. Unidiag works fine straight away but the scaling is well out... can't find a compatible def file for the 1.2 16v stilo

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

erm Ive got a problem with connecting it to my stilo. Ive cable, picked right 'com' the msg is saying connecting to ecu - in bttm left corner its sayin 'connecting...' and after about 10s 'disconnected' what to do?

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

The author has released a new version, might cure some problems?

11/29/2009 - Version 1.3 - Added Magneti Marelli IAW 4AF/4EF/59F/5AF support
- Added Magneti Marelli IAW 49F support
- Added EDC15 support for 2.0, 2.3, 2.8 engines
- Rebuild user interface. All functions are accessible through keyboard shortcuts.
- Added interface latency detection.
- Improved communication protocol, more stable connection.

This is shaping up well by the looks of things, just Motronic 731 please please please

does anyone know if you can reset the service indicator with this software?

No it can't, but it's on the author's list of "What to expect next".

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

Hi guys,

I've had a trawl through the forum trying to get an idea of what's now available for reading the Abarth ECU's but I'm struggling a bit as things keep changing all the time.

Could someone give me a brief "heads up" of what software can do what with the Abarth engine ECU and Selespeed ECU? I've just ordered a £10 VAGCOM KKL cable and I'll see what's what when it arrives...

I really want to control the Selespeed ECU so I can carry out tests once I swap my Selespeed reservoir...

Cheers!

Theres nothing mate, not at the moment. I have a *cough* special copy of alfadiag which will talk to the ECU, but the actuator tests and calibration routines dont work on the CFC-209 thats in the Abarth(alfadiag supports just the CFC-208, and 218), and the author of Alfadiag says he has no plans to support it either.

To use alfadiag you just need the cheap KKL cable that you have got. It think as it stands alfadiag is as good as it gets, does ABS, ECU, will get DTC's from the selespeed ecu and does the airbags as well.

The real deal costs 60EUR though, not too bad and a 1000x better than Gendans italiacheck.

re: FREE Fiat diagnostic software

Cheers for that Dan, it's gutting about the Selespeed ECU... I'd really like that. I'm loath to do any work on the reservoir myself without being able to run the Selespeed actuator through it's paces once I'm done I don't want to have to pay a garage to change the reservoir either...

Actually, I plan to add selespeed support to FiatECUScan.
It is not a problem to add support for the CFC-209 version as well. It is a very rare unit. I see in my source data that it is used in Stilo Selespeed only, and that explains why noone has plans to support it.
I think I can add support for all selespeed verisons in my program at the end of this month or beginning of January.

That would be brilliant if you could. I think all Stilo Abarth owners would be extremely happy to see that feature pop up! If it can control the actuator and run the system through it's calibration routines, then I certainly would!

Hi Yani,

If you need any testing doing I am more than happy to help, also if you can get the actuator tests and EOL calibration routine in there for the CFC-209F I will make a nice donation to your project. Rather line your pocket than that of my garage.

Totally agree, Dan! Especially about the garage part!
