Hey guys, thanks to my subscribers, please correct the connections as follows, pin 6 on the ecu goes to pin 14 on the obd, pin5 on the ecu goes to pin 6 on the obd, and add a ground connection to pin 4 on the obd port .. Cheers
I think you forgot to mention you need pin 4 at OBD as well to be connected to the ground which is "chassis ground" in order to work properly. I follow your instruction and never worked and then I read about the OBD wiring diagram and now it works perfectly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
hello i am following your set up ,in your video you said connect both 6 together. On the ECU number 6 is can low on the obd connector 6 is can high, should it be 5 pin ecu can high and 6 on the OBD connector can high , YOU WILL HAVE CAN HIGH AND LOW CONNECTED TOGETHER , please can you check thanks shaun
Tell u the truth, its been a while since ive done that, so give it a try as instructed the video, and if it doesn’t work then flip them, it wouldn’t hurt anything . Note that, i forgot to mention in the video, that pin4 in the obd plug should be connected to ground as well. Good luck
Hello friend, I have my device ready and I have spliced the cables (I have not soldered yet), I would like you to help me verify or check that my connections are correct, could you help me, you will have a contact email to be able to send you my connections. Greetings and thanks.
Hey i was wondering, if you clone an ECU that works as it should, would it be possible to start the car on both ECU's? So you can have an ECU with a stock map on, and an ECU with a remap on?
@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY You're right. Mine chewed one up and spit it out after less than 4,000 miles (6,500 km). Prices were 3 times higher than last year.
I've seen a couple of video's of the ecu kit to raise and use a heatproof plate but quite expensive. I spent £5 on ebay for some T6 anti vibration damper mounts, and just lifted my ecu up from contact manifold heat sorce which lets air pass underneath better too. So hopefully less heat into ecu and less vibration = longer lasting.
Ok, great video but I’m unsure what wires to connect to from my junk yard ecu/ecm plug and harness. Pics only ever show from the male pins not the female plug with all the wiring 🤷🏻♂️
So can u just tap into the can high amd low and leave the ecu on the car or does it have to cone out of the car to do this as was thinking of no power source and just use the power off the car
Hi, Do you know if Trionic Can Flasher would read and write a 2005 Cadillac CTS 3.6 ME9.6 ECM, TxSuite site says OBDlink SX not supporting ME9.6. Just use J2534 Mongoose or Cardaq? Thanks
Great video as always. I know that this is not the right place to express my concern but i would be pleased if you could help me. Past week I bought my first saab 9-3 2.0t 2006 sportcombi. I need help from you to diagnose p1682 (Plausibility fault between voltage feed from +15 and main relay). Sometimes it will also throw P0638 and the car cant go beyond 4k rpm. Thank you!
Check the big grey connector underneath the battery (connector # H24-2). Make sure no corrosion, damage, all pins are sitting at normal height and are tight. If that checks ok, swap relay #4 on the small fuse box in-front of the battery, if that doesnt resolve P1682 then replace engine computer. Inspect throttle body for any damage, excessive dirt or binding, if it checks ok in addition to the check made at first step, replace Throttle body . Cheers
I'm getting p0201 p0202 p0203 p0204 p0420 and p0245. I checked all fuel injectors and sea foamed ones that seemed not ticking fully (using screwdriver test). Cleared codes and then they come back every 20 miles or so. Do you believe ecu is the culprit?
u cant buy it ready, u will have to make ur own, i assumed i has enough info in the video to make ur own, its literally the easiest thing ive ever had to do
@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY No dude, you assume wrong! You have zero information on making that adapter. The picture you linked only shows the ECU plug.

I just had a look at it, things to consider : Having the latest version of trionic flasher. Latest driver of ur adapter. And finally i would recommend a different adapter, there is no big success with the ELM adapters, the most successful adapter is the OBDLINKsx
