Yes the openport cable forgot to join pins 1 & 4 for diagnostic mode on JDM vehicles.

thanks would it be ok to short these pins out permanently???
or is it just for diagnostic mode???
maybe I could fit a switch for it ????

yeah put a swtich on it is better,

I have mine permanantly wired (pins 1&4 shorted), although it could be annoying to have the dash lights flashing when in diagnostic mode ( only when vehicle is stationary, they stop flashing when the car starts moving) and the other thing is when turning the key off the ETACS ecu when in diagnostic mode locks and unlocks the doors on my evo4 which is also a little annoying. so yeah a switch would be better.
