Default Re: AU Scantool Experiments (codes/live data!)

You can with most cars, however the AU isn't OBDII compliant as such. It uses the same connector and a few of the same principles, but doesn't adhere to the OBDII standards.

OBDII defines generic PID's (parameter ID's) to create a uniform standard across cars, EG the same PID to get vehicle speed on any car. AU's are mostly propriety PID's (Ford's own ID numbers) and what AUFanboy is doing is figuring out what PID's the AU uses and what they relate to.

It seems some are common across ford's worldwide range (pre obd2) but Ford AU has some of it's own for the AU.
