Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[sandt38 448]

Seth,

I am looking for a decent code reader and was wondering what you would use. I would like to buy from sears, but if you can point me to another for similar money I will go that route. I just want something to read codes and be able to reset them, nothing super pricy, but less than $250.00.

 

If there is anything.

 

 

 

Autel and Launch have some really solid offerings in that price range. Your local NAPA should offer them at a reasonable price. I'll jump on NAPA's site tonight and dig you up something.

[sandt38 448]

 

 

What year is it Sean? I have Mitchel, Alldata, and Motor wiring diagrams available to me. While they might not necessarily give me the info you want, there is always that possibility.

2010 Escalade Base AWD. I'm dying for anything. I've searched like hell, but as always there is stuff on older models and nothing on new. Not a surprise.

I would also assume it is a bus as the Lux in the last gen was and moving "backwards" they probably wouldn't do. The amp has a Delco part number from what I can find so far.

Having a wiring diagram may just give me the motivation to do something. Wishing I hadn't sold my 880 as it would be easy enough to use a Joyconn to read the steering wheel and use that volume control exclusively saving the knob for the rears only. It really does sound fucking awful.

 

I'll need the RPO numbers from the build sheet. You typically find the build sheet inside or on the back of the glove box, or on the cover over the spare tire or rear package area cover. It will be roughly a 3X5 sticker with a shit ton of 3 digit codes. The RPO numbers I will need to know about are UQS, Y91, and UQA. You will find either one or a combination of 2 of these RPOs. Apparently there were 4 system set up options on the Base AWD Esky. FWIW I glanced at some of the diagrams and based on internal terminating resistors I am going to say most of the controls are BUS based.

 

Has Y91, UQS but no UQA

Bumping this so I can look when I get home tonight for you.

If you just want to read faults and reset the standard ones the amazon bluetooth connect to your smart phone reader for $15 works.

 

I looked at them, but figured they were junk. Do you have one of have ever used one?

 

 

Junk or not?

Torque is a decent app. You can snag an adapter on ebay on the cheap as Sean mentioned. Not sure about the unit you linked, but I assume it is similar. OBD2 is standardized so finding decent readers like that is not hard. It really depends on what you want to spend.

[dem beats 1,223]

A good question then would be what would spending more get you in these readers?

[sandt38 448]

To the Vapers... I grabbed a Kanger ProTank3 today. I also ordered my eVic in black, an eVic atomizer, a PT2, an Aspire ViviNova, and an Aspire Davide.

 

FWIW the PT3 is truly a nice unit. Amazing flavor, and built like a brick shit house. I am interested to see how the others stack up.

OBD2 Generic is a general engine management communication protocol. The US government established specific guidelines for every manufacturer to follow, including required generic parameters (PIDs), generic code numbers, generic code descriptions, and generic memory clearing and they were required to use a specific connector and had to allow this communication protocol on certain pins of the connector. Manufacturers were allotted several "manufacturer specific" code descriptions, code numbers, memory clearing, bi-directional controls, various communication protocols among many computers, and a ton of other wiggle room, including allowing manufacturers to use vacant pins for their factory scan tools. 

 

Some of the more advanced code readers will translate manufacturer specific codes (codes numbered over P1000), they may provide more than the generic requirements for PIDs, they may allow for bi-directional control, they may also provide for scanning of some modules other than the ECM since most manufacturers have opted to communicate with most, if not all, of their other onboard computers with their scanners through the OBD2 connector.

Trying to figure out a way to send the diagrams to you. There are 4 fucking pages and I cannot get reasonable screenshots...

If you have firefox you can install the addon "screengrab." It lets you take entire screenshots of a page (including what you would see if you scrolled).

I use FF for everything, except Mitchel. I have to use IE for it. Any suggestions for that?

I don't know of any addons for IE. Sort of a pain in the ass, but you can change the user-agent string on Firefox so websites will think you're using IE.

 

Here's an article on how to do it: http://www.lostsaloon.com/technology/how-to-change-user-agent-string-in-mozilla-firefox/

 

I presume you can't save the page that you want to copy, like file -> save page / save page as. I'm guessing the diagrams and info is embedded.

Really I just want something to play around with and watch motor functions and reset codes when needed. Maybe that is why the one I linked looked fun to play around with.

[///M5 2,833]

And my luck with GM continues. Read error on my nav. Of course.

You have a tablet for all that crap.

Has a bigger screen and nearly all my needed capability built in. No internet, but USB music which is huge. 8" screen and a logical interface as well. Long term it will go away as I'd like to replace the whole fucking console with a big screen, but I was hoping the stereo could live as is until that happens. I don't think it can after owning it for a bit. The Mercedes fucking destroyed it.

[///M5 2,833]

This might have more output, not sure actually as I haven't even tried to find out yet. Goes to hell too fast.

That is what Torq and a $12-15 reader will get you. When/if I put a tablet in my dash that app will be on it for sure. In particular since I already own it lol. Was hoping it would do MEFI systems too, but the government didn't require the marine industry to do anything standard so it doesn't work. Makes me want to rip the tune off the stock ECU and the boat and change it to a standard. Out of all places I want a code reader that is definitely high on my list.

[///M5 2,833]

As long as you don't create too many seams I could probably stitch them back together as well.

[///M5 2,833]

*strange seams that is

[///M5 2,833]

You just found the use for the ultra high def tv.

[///M5 2,833]

I guess the only other question is it worth me looking at?<br /><br />If there is no CAN bus volume control on the amp then yes. If there is, I need to find way to get by without a computer or figure out a way to add one.

[///M5 2,833]

At some point the effort becomes more than replacing the whole thing. I am very interested in it though as I'd love to understand the layout of the electronics package for the truck and what that computer interfaces to and why.<br /><br />Curious to drive a 14 as well and see if the NVH is any different. That update I ought to be able to find out a bit more easily <img data-cke-saved-src="http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png" src="http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png" class="bbc_emoticon" title=":P" />
