Giacomo

 

Hi,
nobody is in a position to helping me?

thank you

Giacomo

 

Have a look for the site thread on OBD.

Also try Search on
elm327
autoenginuity

 

Thank you jagv8,
but I meant without the diagnosis instrument, only with ignition key position like as an example Chrysler.

Giacomo

 

Any data you could get that way is almost useless. Just buy an elm327 they're only about $20 on ebay.

 

Doesnt the ETM display DTC's?

 

Would you trust it not to be showing old ones?
And no freeze frame or live data.
Which does it show... where is it getting them from? Wanna bet on them?
All to save $20. You're kidding, right?!

 

lol, no way to truly know but I thought I read the ETM will give you all the stored coded in memory but your correct no way if those are valid ones or waiting to clear.

 

thank you
but what is the dealer tool ?
how much ? and where to buy ? I have seen autoenginuity it is not economic

Giacomo

 

AutoEnginuity is very cheap compared to the dealer tool (IDS), which will be thousands of dollars.
Plenty, including SPX, will sell IDS.

 

dealer tool is 3000 $
autoenginuity , cover the DTC of heater contro module ?
what is " Plenty " ?

Giacomo

 

Ask AE or read their web site.
Are you HONESTLY prepared to spend say $3000 because if so surely you can search and find where to buy it.
Please read the other data on this site and the web. I'm done.

 

sorry, but I do not understand
who is AE?

Giacomo

 

Ummm....You said it in the quote above..... AE is just an abbreviation for AutoEnginuity......

Are you really a paid mechanic? You won't spend a few hundred dollars on a tool for properly diagnosing someone's car???

Yikes!

 

thank you JOsworth,
now I have understood, sorry but I live in Italy and I do not know the english language very well.
I am home mechanic, therefore I was trying a diagnosis instrument not too much expensive but that it can cover the greatest park car.
