Evoscan/Mitsulogger on Evo V and VI

[russ]

Can't seem to get either logger to work on Evo V and VI.
Have had no problems on Evo VII VIII or IX, it works immediately.

Anyone know what I need to do differently?

are u using the tactrix cable? If so it won't work unless pins 1 and 4 are connected. (Check this thread for more info http://forums.openecu.org/viewtopic.php?t=1242 ) for any JDM mitsubishi before 2001 you should use the evoscan cable:

1.4E to log and reflash./ 1.3M to log

Also remember that ecuflash will only read the ROM on evo IV to VI...you cannot reflash at this time.

When you get the limitless.co.nz cable use Ecuflash 1.31 and make sure you have the most recent definition files.

The H8 kernel was one of the issues with evo VI ecus...it has been resolved with EcuFlash 1.31...so now u can read the ecu ROM

Whats the difference between the limitless cable and the tactrix version ?

[sub7]

I have no clue the technical differences between limitless and tactrix cable but limitless cable have a weird symptom. All of my 3 ACD led and ABS light flashing when connected using limitless cable. It went away after driving about 10 mph. This doesn't happen with tactrix cable.

Can you confirm for my evo5RS that i need to connect pins 1 and 4 for logging with tatrix + evoscan?

Can you confirm i've to connect the white connector for reading ecu?

Thanks a lot. Math

hi ,yes to both questions

[letsteyr]

ok thanks. What i don't understand it's i've to connect pin 1 and 4 but on my tatrix cables there's only pin 4,5,7,9,11,15,16 but no pin 1 !!!



Pin 4 should be a ground one.

[todd-w]

join pins 1 and 4 on the obd socket on the car not the cable,the eng light will flash dont worry about this.
what i did was splice into the wires before the socket and put in a switch

OK thank you very much. i'll try. I'll be able to read DTC too?

[Evo4Mad]

the limitless cable has diagnostic lights.. pre 1998 mitsubishis need this to even work with a laptop, thats why its better than the tactrix cable.

[Evo4Mad]

you cant read the DTC until I finish writting the software.. I should have it finished this week. I did the Subaru DTC codes today, I will do the mitsubishi ones next.

[letsteyr]

ok so you confirm for the pins 1 and 4 evo4Mad? Thanks for DTC, keep us advised.

[Evo4Mad]

to be honest I was the one who originally put everyone on to the pin 1 and 4 thing... yes it will work, although. I am starting to second guess it now, and am thinking of connecting a different pins.. I will need to make a change to the Evoscan software though... i will let you know how I get on this week, because this is my priority at the moment.

[letsteyr]

ok thank you. Good luck for your work !!!
