Technical Gearbox codes ODB reader

[Stevejohnjones]

Is anyone aware of a error code reader that will read and manage fiat 3.0ltr conformatic gearbox? I have an odb reader but just does engine. It's gearbox I am after. I have a BTooth dongle and the free copy of multicuescan on my laptop but it says I need ELM327 ODB v1.3 dongle and won't connect. Don't want to spend a lot but looking to increase confidence following a couple gearbox issues related to the brake switch. Thanks...

Hello,

you need another interface. Check on the multiecuscan website for the appropriate interface to connect to the van (search by model/year/engine). I know from the forum that Gendan offers good quality interfaces + adapters. I'm using a bluetooth adapter from Viaken, one for all modules.

EDIT: another advantage is I'm using it while stationnary on my laptop with MES and in needed on the road with the torque lite app on my adroid phone to erase errors if needed
