Posts: 3,788 Thanks: 382 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: How to scan the car Hi, No it won't work at all. The 3 pin interface is not OBDII compatable. You need Multiecuscan (MES) www.multiecuscan.net with a KL / Vag-Com interface and 3 pin adaptor lead. An example is https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diagnosti...N/271891117741 (I've used this seller) Check your exact model of Punto here http://www.multiecuscan.net/SupportedVehiclesList.aspx You will need to register MES(50 Euros) and need a windows laptop (XP or newer) Robert G8RPI.

If its not working why would they sell it then ? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2018...539202203.html The lead they are selling will work but only with a KL / KKL / Vag-Com interfac and software that specifically supports the older Fiat 3-pin protocol, e.g. MES. You are better off buying the kit from UK diagnostics than Aliexpress

Posts: 3,788 Thanks: 382 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: How to scan the car Not quite. The KL / KKL / VAG-COM interface is an early OBDII interface used mainly on VW-AUDI vehicles. The OBD 16 pin interface can support various interfaces including KL (K-line) and CAN (Controller Area Network). These interfaces then have various communications protocols. The Fiat 3-Pin interface is electrically compatable with KL but the protocol is different. As the VAG-COM KL interface is "dumb" it can be used with the Fiat 3-pin protocol. The "smart" interfaces like ELM 327 work with OBDII (16 pin) KL but DON'T with the 3 pin. Confusing I know but it does make sense. Robert G8RPI.

The red clip goes to a 12V supply e.g. battery terminal. Robert G8RPI.

It certainly not as good as MES but it seem that it can do the job. It can show datas from the sensors and also errors codes... thats the only thing i need for the moment ....

I've not used the IAW software but it's designed for the 3 pin interface so worth trying. It should work with the same lead and adaptor as MES. Robert G8RPI.
