Deco,

No idea what you are talking about, just wanted to say WELCOME to a fellow Dublin resident.

Some of the lads will be along any minute with the answer............... Zee, Mat, Am?

Sorry no pictures yet -

Did you buy the reader online?

I bought a FEW online claiming to be the leader in OBD products and a few which can plug into Pocket PC, but most only work on certain make, as opposed to ALL OBD-II complaint.

However, when I plug my R-Vit into the OBD port, it works flawlessly.

It has a diagnostic socket but it isn't ODB-II compliant. They use the standard connector because OBD-II is used on export vehicles (e.g. IS200) so use the same part.

OBD-II isn't a requirement in Japan, unlike the US and Europe. As the 4 cylinder engine in the RS200 isn't exported there was no reason for Toyota to rework the ECU to be ODB-II compliant.

Mine is a 6 cylinder - do you know of any diagnostic equipment that does work on it?

do you have any idea of what kinda -Engine Control Diagnostic machine i need to read my engine error code output on a SXE10 3SGE? and what kind of plug would fit into stock ecu?
thanks

the Altezza is diagnostic capable;
the mechanic at NETZ used one to diagnose my mass air flow sensor.
but not sure which ones are compatible.
not sure if that helps anyone...
