View Full Version : ODB-II reader?
I've searched, and not really come up with anything, perhaps because it's known that the VR4 needs a MUT reader and an ODB-II reader is pretty useless for them. However, that's not the case for the UK spec galants.
ODB-II readers/reset tools are pretty cheap on ebay. Is the ODB-II port standard (ie odb-II is odb-II, regardless of make)?
I might be inclined to get one...

ODB-II port is a standard
All cars after a certain date must have one within 6" of the steering wheel and all output the same coding ( something like that)
I keep meaning to try our works diagnostics on the car to see if it works

The VR4 is not a standard obd 1 or 2 , it was a hash attempt to get something out for ( i think ) the US market .
The only tool I think work 99% is the evoscan and stuff that Aderc found
John- remember that I want it for a UK spec galant, which is ODB-II I believe.

Ah yes your a GDi person now , so in that case ignore me like everyone else :d
I never was a VR4 owner (other than in my dreams and GT4)... small matter of mortgage to pay...

Hi Isaac,
I've got a 2001 UK-spec V6 (OBD-II) which works quite happily with the cables and diagnostic software mentioned in previous threads (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20121). The only thing you need to do different with our cars is ground an extra pin on the OBD connector.
Do a search on eBay for VAG KKL (http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=VAG+KKL) and you should find a load of cables that will work fine.
I've been using MitsuLogger and OBD Scan (http://www.aktivematrix.com/forum/dload.php?action=category&cat_id=13) with one of these cables with no problems.

Handy! I did search for odb and various permutations on obd-2, obd-II, etc but didn't find that thread somewho. Cheers for that.

I've just got one of those cables with the view to having a bit of a play around - hopefully aderc can use his kit on my motor at the weekend as well!
I've just ordered the cable also... see what it brings!
Ok, I've got the cable, and got it up and running... will post more in the other thread.
