need help with diagnostic cables

Post by WILDCARD »

Guys I need help again.

I bought these and they arrived:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALFA-FIAT-DIA ... 3cd5fb4a16

I have an ELM 327 cable and a KKL/VAG COM cable. I have tried both and they both work together with the red and green adapter to access the Engine ECU, power steering, ABS system on my Fiat Bravo 1.4 Tjet turbo.

But I need to access the dashboard department in order to check why my Blue and me system is not working. Here is a screenshot:



I have tried all the cables including the yellow one but I still cannot access it. It keeps giving me the following error:

ELM 327 needed check your COM and cable port settings.

I am clueless now. Is there something else that needs to be set or what?
The COM and PORT settings is correct for either cables as I can access the engine ecu department with both ELM327 and KKL cable but as soon as I use the yellow cable for the dashboard I get the "ELM 327 needed check your COM and cable port settings" error.

Help please!!!!!! I hope I did not waste money now by buying all these cables and nothing works for me to access the dashboard department.

Thanks

To access the instrument cluster you should only need the ELM cable WITH NO OTHER adaptor cable installed. Standard CANBus interface.
