[Solved] ELM 327 Interface Not Connecting to ECU: Focus & Vectra Compatibility, ScanMaster, ScanTool Issues

As in the topic, the interface works, but it does not connect to the ECU. The Focus and Vectra cars are the same. What is the reason if these cars cannot be diagnosed with this module? and the programs are scanmaster, scantool. Help.

Maybe so. I would like to check this interface first. Which cars should work for sure?

oki outside oplami yeah ?? My point is that I bought a complete interface and it does not work as it should, however. I would like to make sure whether it works or not. Is it that it does not connect to the ECU is the fault of the interface itself or the car to which I connect it.
and this is the scanmaster log:

maybe I would like to make sure if everything should work on xp? can it also be a problem and the interface is on usb (no coma in the lapciak: /)

I also see that you have a Ford in the picture I have a focus 2000 1.8 TDDI, you can use this ELM to gozdjagnozowac and what program?
Possibly what else?

Well, thanks to such an answer I was in total, even though I am not happy

Hey wait, this system is supposed to support VPW, PWM, KWP2000 and others - so why would it not support the Ford ??

hmm ... then I have to understand that all the programs that are available, even paid for this system, will not support VW and others?

Hello
I made Ford and Japanese and American cars and everything flashes as it should be on Elm and there were no problems. Maybe you have a mixed plug in the plug or weak software, I use quite different programs for this.
greetings

What soft to use for elm327? because the scantool attached to the interface is for ...

www.google.pl and faster on allegro enter elm 327 and sellers say there

I bought this interface on Allegro and that's where the soft one is. I'm looking for something that will work

Hello
Sharing my observations about the interface, I can say that theoretically it works with most cars, and compatibility can be found at http://www.obd-2.de/tech_com.php " target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener ugc" class="postlink inline" title="" > http://www.obd-2.de/tech_com.php . Unfortunately, I also had one case that it would not work, but I am researching it. Sometimes you need to figure out more or less, e.g. connect first, then start the engine and read the parameters, or it connects well when the engine is running and not after turning the ignition switch. Finally, I will add because I get e-mails asking about the program I use, so in my opinion one of the best is PcmScan in the version that is circulating on the Internet. HINT: This version released by heretic may have a problem with registration, nothing simpler, just change the date to, say, August 2005, insert the data and it flies. Maybe someone also has other insights?
greetings

I have Opel vectre ci elm327 ver 1.0a - I tried scanamster 1.6 demo version worked after manual connection configuration - unfortunately I did not get the full version
PSMSCAN is great and with the heretica version I had no problem with registration, but I don't want to connect with VECTRA C 2.2 dti from 2003 and it has OBD2.
What version of this pcmscana did you use

groovy - ????
I have ver 1.4.3 but maybe this elm 327 ver 1.0a is not good

I am surprised that you are in trouble, because this ELM is better than Launch and KTS combined and everything can

well, he is ragged and this price ...

Are we talking about the same interface with ALLEGRO?
That's him:

And here is his possibilities -

It allows you to diagnose all systems in the car:


Engine electronics
Automatic gearbox
Diesel pump electronics
Braking systems
Airbags
Air conditioning
Dashboard
Electric power steering
Immobilizer
Comfort module
Electric windows
Satellite navigation
Sunroof electronics
and others ...


It also allows you to:


Reading and erasing OBD2 errors also from CAN,
Reading and erasing the CHECK ENGINE light,
Real value preview (LIVE DATA) NEW,
Reading pending and specific manufacturer codes,
Preview of frozen frames, etc.,
Online parameter reading,
Reading errors by codes.

DOES anyone have more experience.

Hiya
elm- just the engine, not any pillows or boxes. Even with a good configuration, the engine parameters can be monitored on an ongoing basis.
as for vectra, yes, in diesel cars, obd2 later entered, just in 2003, so there may be a problem with the connection. as far as I know, until 2002 to week 51 they were producing it on obd1 and then CAN came in, so it's possible as this vectra was produced in 2002, you need Opel techa for it. How can I send you some other email programs to try, but it's on priv,
greetings

THIS would explain the problem with vectra c 2.2 dti - according to The vehicle card is produced in July 2002 and the first registration is January 2003 - so there is no obd2 yet, only obd 1.
Could the OP-COM Interface sold on ebay help then?

With ELM it is rather no Opel and some Fords, Renaults and a few other brands, or rather Japanese and Korean and American
On Allegro, there are sometimes space ads, but advertising is a trade lever

I read on the forum that the Corsa C works without a problem.

So another Opel with OBD2 - and ELM supports OBD2 ONLY - must also work.

Hello
I read that elm can work with vectra 2002 diesel with appropriate software, so you can try ... (but I haven't checked it myself).
greetings

Certainly it is possible because before OBD2 was officially introduced, there were already OBD2 cars produced but not yet approved. Mine is from July 2002 - and this may be the problem

I wonder if this OP-COM can do it!?!?!?

From the group of VAG, Skoda, VW.

All cars diagnosed after CAN will certainly work ;)
