Calvin-
does the Advance Multiplier work? i only get a reading of "0"

btw, this is an '05 ECU in an '04 wagon.

going to sent the file and picture of the ecu.

The advance multiplier is at a different address for different ECU revisions. He has not been able to code for each ecu revision yet.

I haven't run this software yet (will tonight) but I doubt the Elmscan cable would work.

The issue is the voltage of the cable needs to be stepped down for the computer, and the AP and DD cables do this, but the Elmscan cable does not. There are instructions out there on the web (forget the address) on how to assemble the necessary voltage-step-down components, but... I didn't want to wait so I ordered a "replacement" cable from Cobb for $60 give or take.

it worked perfectly with my obd-2.com cable which has no electronics in it what so ever

wish it would do A/F ratio vs lambda

does this log to csv yet? i can't seem to make that part of it work

colby · 05-23-2005, 04:10 PM

The cable that I designed for openecu.org is for sale on tactrix.com. It basically is a USB to OBD2 connection in a very compact package. Aside from logging like other adapters, it also has Subaru specific abilities to reflash ECUs. I will be releasing some basic flash reading / writing tools for the 02-05 WRXs within then next couple of weeks. At that point things at openecu.org will start moving more quickly, i hope

Would be nice if it worked for the UTEC. I am trying it now, dosn't work with UTEC.

What's the difference between the generic version and the WRX version? they are both for the same price. also, what is different about this cable that allows it to write to ECUs?

btw, thanks to calvinC and you for taking the initiative into this.

scoobdude · 05-23-2005, 08:56 PM

**another confirmation here that the cobb ap cable works**

few questions though:

1) in order to get the software to work i selected com 1, however in my BIOS the serial port is listed as com port 2. this maybe some of the confusion. any clarification for the masses may help but its working for me as of now.

2) i will send you a picture of my ecu probably tomorrow, however i am running an 04 cobb ap and the ecu identifier has been changed. i will send both in my response unless you desire a specific one to be listed.

once again... Thanks a bunch!!!!

colby · 05-23-2005, 09:00 PM

The "WRX" version supplies a regulated voltage to a pin on the OBD connector which supplies the ECU with a voltage to reprogram it's flash memory. With the appropriate software, you can then use this to reflash your ECU. This pinout is appropriate for 2002-2005 WRX's and USDM STI's and FXT's.

The "generic" version is basically the "WRX" version with this pin removed. If you have a different model Subaru that doesn't use the same programming pin, or a non Subaru car that still has a ISO-9141-2 interface, you can use this version to do things like OBD2 and Subaru SSM logging without the ability to reflash.

Both versions are the same price because I basically only manufacture the "WRX" version and then have to take time to remove parts for the "generic" version. I thought it was worth offering though.

in case people aren't aware - a cable like this is only for plugging into a hardware interface box on the DE-9 side. There are no electronics in this cable - you can't plug this into your computer's RS-232 port directly - you need interface hardware.

SUBSCRIBE, since I really dont know much bout all of it, but gotta learn sometime.

Can I use my gameboy?

But really, what is the minumum piece of electronics is required? Just a PDA?

Not my logger. I just did some work on it to add a few parameters.

BTW- I have a scanning program that will help locate IAM and load on ECUs. Let me know if it would be helpful.

Oops, sorry for the attribution error. Mike helped me get up and running on it, though!

Calvin -- good program. Am looking forward to logging functionality. The program seemed to work on my ECU, although it didn't recognize it. Am sending you the ECU model # picture in a separate email right now.

CMJ is quite right. in the first version i released i wasnt aware that subaru changed the location of some data items between the different ecu's, and that location is for my ecu - 2005 STi AUS/SA spec. (AJ870-8840).

Quote:

...man....Shaun has a delta dash....use that.....

does deltadash pick up the AM on that specific ecu? if so...shaun please PM me.

mike - please PM me about your software to automatically get the AM, etc. or if you could find the location and then mail it to me with the ecu type. thanks.

CMJ right again - not in the version you have. the 1 i'm currently working on has lots more features. view 'news' page on website for full list of whats coming.

again, only in the upcoming version.

UTEC doesnt understand SSM. doesnt UTEC have its own diagnostics apps?

colby's openport connector is the best i have seen available so far, and the big plus is the support for the voltage needed during a flash. if any of you need connectors, get that one.

regards,
calvin.

I'm confused about this because there are folks here who are saying they are using a cable "with no electronics" and its working. Look at Jaxx's post (#31 in this thread)

p.s. have I mentioned I had the obd-2.com website? Its crap. Its so unorganized. I would never give my $ directly to a business like that.

crazymikie · 05-24-2005, 12:47 PM

You need some optoisolators in the cable since the car is running 12V and the laptop serial port is running 5V.

A very simple cable will suffice- there are plenty of schematics on the web. Just look for an ISO OBD interface...or buy Colby's so you can reflash your own ECU

Mike

MMBOOST · 05-24-2005, 01:11 PM

mike,

so then these cables that are supposedly without electronics that work, either Jaxx might eventually fry his laptop or the isolators are built into the cable?
