(T) FiatEcuScan diagnostic software

Hi guys,
you can check this FREE program for reading ecu errors, reading data, actuator tests, etc.
www.fiatecuscan.net
It supports Stilo JTD engines and Stilo ABS.

Johnson550 told me about this the other day - You need a KKL interface, a cheapy vagcom 409.1 cable will do the trick ~£13 on ebay. Either than or a homebrewn serial one.

Looks like a good program, just get us some selespeed CFC-209 and ME731 support for us non-sludgeburners.

What to expect next:
- Airbag SIEMENS MY99 ECU support.

Aaaaalright!!!! Is this what's in my Stilo then? High hopes.

Yes, it is the Stilo airbag....

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...

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.

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.

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


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

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.

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.
