Carrie-B1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 In N.Ireland, turned it to the 1st position, should it be to the 2nd position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ahh a bit far from me! I can't remember tbh. Try them on both. Is the reader getting power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_doc Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm looking for a reader that will communicate through the OBDII with the torque app and show intake temps etc. Will any of the bluetooth readers do that on a JDM z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairladyzed Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Is the jap 350 engine any different from a uk one? Would a uk ecu work the same or would it cause issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Patmore Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Thread revival Did anyone find a cheap reader for a jdm? I wanna get one myself as engine light has just come on. Alternatively does anyone in Essex have one and be kind enough to read the code for me? Case of beer in it for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 you can get cheap readers but they are not fancy OBD2 bluetooth ones they will be bog standard read code and thats it. If you want bluetooth one for torque etc you may struggle, im in croydon so maybe bit far but im sure someone near you will have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Patmore Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 That's all I need is a bog standard one. Any ideas for best place to grab one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 That's all I need is a bog standard one. Any ideas for best place to grab one? Search OM500 on eBay. There are a few vendors now, about £24, comes straight from China, takes a couple of weeks, reads/resets DTCs but not PIDs, plugs into the OBDII port but reads JOBD for JDM, yellow with buttons and LCD display. I think that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Patmore Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ok will have a quick look now. I take it they will state if they work for jdm in the description. Silly question but what does Dtc pid and jobd mean. I'm a bit naive to anachronisms hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) obd is uk/euro signal the car uses for its ecu Jobd is japan and somewhere elses cars, uses its signal for its ecu so one wont work on the other basically, so make sure it says JOBD but get the one Chris B suggested as some on ebay state they work on JOBD but they dont (cruel world eh )the suggested above is trial and tested ... DTC errrrm Diagnostic something PID ....no idea Edited November 5, 2014 by jumping350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Patmore Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Haha cheers so this one should work? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/271642251568?cmd=VIDESC&gxo=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 ^^ Yep, that's the one. DTC is diagnostic trouble codes - ie Pxxxx numbers, check engine codes etc PIDs are parameters readable from the ECM - ie the live data that is viewed in the torque app for OBD II euro etc. As far as I know, there aren't any readers apart from Consult II (which is expensive) that can read JOBD PIDs or indeed which PIDs are even exposed by a JDM ECM. it's all a bit opaque unfortunately - which is the only thing negative about Jap import in my opinion - crimps the nerdiness.

Sam_Patmore Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Cheers for that think I'll shall have a purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I bought a WIFI and BT version both work fine with Dashboard on my UK Honda but not on the Zed. I did manage to get the BT one working via the android app that another user managed to get going can't find the thread but would display a fair few pids like rpm and temperatures etc. Understand its a language thing the Zed speaks in Japanese and the wireless readers I have don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Patmore Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just purchased the one off eBay to give it a go. Is there a list somewhere with the codes and what they indicate? Or is it just a Google job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sure theres some thing on the forum somewhere - have a trawl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
