BF and OBD (on board diagnostics) - Ford Forums

djmickyg · 05-09-2006, 04:42

Ive just noticed that the BF now has OBD (not sure about the BA) as they now apply with the Euro 3 emissions laws..

i found the plug in the under dash fuse box...

my question is has anyone use it yet in programs such as Digimoto or scan tool?

also does anyone know what one it is :

J1850 VPW--The connector should have metallic contacts in pins 2, 4, 5, and 16, but not 10.
ISO 9141-2--The connector should have metallic contacts in pins 4, 5, 7, 15, and 16.
J1850 PWM--The connector should have metallic contacts in pins 2, 4, 5, 10, and 16.

i havent had a chance to check the pins yet...

Thanks Mick

I believe its CAN proctol.I have had one of these for a few years but have only be able to use now with my BF.I had sent mine back for this upgrade as mine had been a early verison.I been told BA's have it too but not sure.Mine came from http://www.autoenginuity.com/index.html.This guy sells his on EBay as well online.Nice toy to play with but bulky ie., laptop

They'll know by the complete absense of any codes or learnt values in it :)
