Alfa 164 2.0 TS (Bosch Motronic M1.7) wont connect

Hi there,

I'm trying out FES for the first time, as it states that it can connect to my 164 2.0TS with the
Bosch Motronic M1.7 ECU.

I'm using Windows XP, and have a basic KKL to USB interface with the 3 pin adapator.
Everything is installed correctly, as when FES scans for interfaces, it correctly detects
my KKL, and reports back that the port timings are OK.

However, when I try to connect to the ECU, I get the message:

"NO ECU RESPONSE - Check cable or port settings"

I've checked the cable out from the back of the KKL socket, right through to the 3 pin
connector and it meters out fine on the required pins (K, L and GND).

I also tried using Unidiag software, and I have the same problem. How likely is it that
the diagnostic interface on the ECU is defective?

Any thoughts?

Marcus

All sorted !

I had connected to the wrong 3 pin cable. The one I tried had cables with a yellow
outer sleeve around them. This didn't work. However, I found another 3 pin
connector at the back of the radio, and this one worked perfectly.

Still didn't work using UniDiag, but worked first time with FES! :)
