yay ! FiatEcuScan software is looking good..

[EI4GGB]

It seems someone has taken the time and started to work on modern diagnostics software for FIAT's, Alfa's and Lancia's - its called (for now) FiatEcuScan and can be obtained at http://fiatecuscan.net/.

maybe the software has been mentioned on here before, but I have been doing some testing with it and have to say its a fine piece of work so far. Its written in .net so will work with XP, vista and 7. It works with a simple K-line interface (buy or build one), and will work with normal com-ports and USB serial port cables. It looks like it needs a fairly fast machine to run (1.5 GHz processor quoted) due to .net and timing requirements.

I only have diesels to test with, but it communicates no problems and reads fault codes and live data, and does actuations on my ECU's and airbags. there seems to be good support for all of the older systems (even the TD100 is covered and works fine), so if anyone has the interest, knowledge and time to try it out it would be worth doing, and maybe let the developer know how it worked. there is a forum on the site for this. It doesn't look open source but maybe in future it will be..

Hope it doesn't do actuations on the airbag.

There's already two long running threads started by yani on this, here:

Hi everyone,got my self the fiatecuscan, and had a quick look in the fusebox beside the steering wheel, but could not see where to plug the cable into, looking on e-learn it looked like you have to undo 2 bolts to remove the fuse cover, and unclip part of the fuse box to gain access to the port to connect the cable. Am i being totally thick or is this what you have to do. Fingers crossed TA
