GS ECU reader

[EnzoMC]

I've got an ODBII cable that I used on my Audi and wondering if there any cables / software we can get to reading fault codes and basic readings (engine speed, temp water and oil) ect ?


I am also looking for a workshop manual on the GS, not seen them on ebay ?

EnzoMC, the GS is ODBII compliant, well actually EODB, so the cable should be common. Are you wanting a code reader or software to run on a PC? Either way there should be plenty on fleebay that read codes etc.

Best of luck with the GS workshop manual. I've never seen one, so if you do come across one, I think you'll have the makings of a little earner!

Code reading is easy with the EODB tools - just plug in under the steering column, turn key (but don't press Start button) and it should give you the list of stored codes.

The codes will be listed somewhere on the web. Most tools come with a booklet matching codes to faults.

I think I put up a list on here sometime, do a search for codes under my handle

yes looking for laptop software so I can read no only error codes but water, oil temp, revs ect when the car is running. will these only work when no started and only read error codes


If I do find a workshop manual I post it up

Will work, but if no started, revs will stay at 0

I've only seen code readers, what do you guys use and recommend ? I used ***-COM previously and look for similar on the maserarti

Someone posted a nice looking software package. I'll see if I can find it....

I think it was me. Try a search on Gendan. Highly recomended and recently helped to diagnose a cat problem.

Wow, great tool - I just have the non-PC all-in-one reader.

I assume there is no issue with leaving the tool connected to the ODBII socket whilst driving the car? (other of course than getting the cable caught around your legs!)

Digimoto is brilliant and does indeed have a full set of soft gauges showing rev, fuel pressure, coolant etc. I will also show live streaming data from things like Lambdas and O2 sensors.

 

[EnzoMC]

on the Audi it was fine, I think the issue is driving and the tempatation to montor the output.

isn't the connector on the passenage side ? just seen your car list so will bow to your knowledge

Don't rely on me - I couldn't even remember whether my last GS was full leather or not. I think Adam (GransportFan1) corrected me!!!
