Came across this thread just a couple of days ago after searching on and off for a couple of years on any info about scanning my AU's.
My hat off to the folk willing to chase up these kinds of details and producing tools like FORscan and then sharing their knowledge with mere mortals like myself.
That said, I've got trouble connecting both of my cars (AU I XR8 and AU II dedicated gas wagon).
I'm using an ELM327 v1.5 and followed the instructions from FORscan as far as I can tell. When pressing the connect button, the screen comes up with
Connecting to ELM, please wait...
Connecting to vehicle, reading vehicle info...
Then, after a little while an error box pops up saying:
'Unable to connect to vehicle. Please make sure the ignition key is ON and try again'
Obviously, I had my igition set to ON, but no luck for both vehicles.
Found a similar thing previously when I tried to get the thing connected via a hyperterminal (as detailed earlier in the thread and on another forum). After the atsp1, atshE4 10 F1, 13, it came back with an 'FB ERROR' when the ignition was on and with a 'NO DATA' with the igition off. Also tried 'atrv' and it spat back 12.0V so seems to be doing something vaguely useful.
Read on other forums that the wiring sometimes gets mixed up on these ELM tools (mine's the usual cheap job from HK/China). Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong or what the problem with my ELM tool might be? Anyone in Perth that's got a working ELM tool I might be able to check with?
So close and yet so far
Cheers,
Volker

This is still a great thread though
