Ecu Error Code Readers

[Guest dcannon]

This may be a recuring topic however was unable to find any record of the issue.

 

Has anyone been able to sucessfully find a scan toll that will work with a 1993 405 Mi16?

 

Any comments?

I don't know anything about the ecu used on the 2 litre Mi but on the 1.9 you can do a lil trick with a bit of wire going to the diagnostic socket and count the number of times to "k" light flashes on the dash.

where is the diagnostic socket located?

In the black relay box, RH guard. It's green. Pull back the rubber cover, it's the connector with 2 wires going to it.

 

Here's how to do it:

I bought all the bits to make a reader for my old Motronic 309, I didn't realise the 1.9 Mi used the same diagnostic system. Better get the soldering iron out!

Soldering iron?! I'm pretty sure I only used a couple bits of wire.

There was a thread on the 205drivers forum about how to make one. Its got an LED, and a switch in, and you count the number of flashes on the LED. I'll see if I can find it...

Found it:

 

Fault Code Reader (at the bottom of the thread)

 

Though PeterT's way of doing it seems a lot better/easier

[KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars]

But I just counted the flashes of the K light.

[Jer309GTi 3]

Yeah, I didn't know of that method when I needed the fault reader. It was quite a long time ago.
