Obd2

Some time passed, and learned new things. First, the other car is an american version. Second, there are american and europe standard for OBD2. The OBD2 reader we use is multi system device and supports both for FORD as well as other standards. We forced an error by taking the air intake sensor off - and suprize - it works. We were able to take error reading, cancel the error, read coolant temperature and so on. After we replaced the sensor - again "connection break". Looks like if there are no stored errors the connection is interrupted, which doesn't seem proper behavior. Now I'm making my own OBD2 reader based on ELM320 chip, hope it will work. My next problem I'll attach to tranny thread.

Thanks,

Gobowiec
