Status Codes

Hi folks,

Could anyone (Yani?) shed some light on the status codes please.

I'm refering to the final message one receives after running one of the possible adjustments i.e.: Line-end, clutch adjustment etc.. The format is Hex but the meaning is what I'm after... So far I couldn't find a legend or any reference...

I'm presently up against a nasty selespeed prob in a Stilo Abarth - irregular loss of entire transmission control without any stored fault. All parameters look as they should and yet - every now and again the transmission fault message comes up (in the car display) locks the box in Neutral - while the ECUScanner suggests that everything is fine. The only difference to scans under functional conditions are the affore mentioned adjustsments. Most of them will - while the fault is present - almost immediatelly result in a hex code and not being carried out - so it would be of some interest to me to understand the meaning of those numbers...

Ah, and yet another question: Does anyone knows a reasonable priced source for a ELM 327 interface? I'm located in Germany and there isn't a single one in the German bay... Next stop is China or Hong Kong, which I'm reluctant to try. There are various sources from the BIg Apple but the last time I tried this I ran into big trouble with German customs... Any suggestions welcome.

Martin

Does this also work for service interval resets? As far as I can see this interface is not based on the ELM 327 chip - which is what the reset feature demands anyways. But I'd like to hear that I'm wrong here...

Subocean,

I have meanwhile received those codes from somewhere else (Thanks Dirk!)

Might be of interest to other users as well.
Here are the status codes for the line-end calibration:

00 - Correct
FF - No reply from ECU
7F - Switch error 2nd gear
0b - Error caused by cosed clutch
01 - Select error 1st and 2nd gear
02 - Select error 5th and reverse gear
04 - Switch error 1st gear
06 - Switch error 3rd gear
X - Linkage error
0c - Error common conditions(?)
0d - Error adjustment clutch pin
03 - Select error 3rd and 4th gear
0e - Error clutch solenoid
07 - Select error 4th gear
0a - Error select position
09 - Switch error reverse gear
08 - Switch error 5th gear

was useful to me....
