On Board Diag info - HELP

[phantome46]

What OBD software does the clio have?
If you plug the car into the diag machine what info can you get a readout on from the ECU?

Speed as cars driving
Tacho
Fuel
Volt meter status

Help needed?

yeah can read vehcile speed but i think clip displays it in KM

can also see

rpm
voltage to ecu
ign advance
fuel flow(i think)
lambda sensor voltage
lambda heating is going active/inactive
fuel richness etc

tbh clip reads alot just right now cant remember them all, not put it on my mk1 for a few month now!

Thanks for the post

So what exactly is clip? A wire that connects to PC software? Can you buy it? and whats the likely cost?

I am looking at building a virtual dashboard for the Valver that will show as many parametres as possible

I.e road speed, tacho and fuel level plus volts etc.

sorry forgot to say, Clip is renaults diagnostic laptop not ideal for carrying around everyday in the car lol

but basicly it connect to the diag socket in the fusebox under dash and links to whats is called a CAN which is then connected to the Clip,

once connected you can then go into any of the cars computors(on a mk1 sod all lol)

read the parameters ie rpm/speed etc or earse faults, reprogramme etc etc

i know the ford focus RS lads can get a scangauge 2 which plugs into the diag socket and gives rpm/temps/speed/mpg etc and is a smaller sized handy screen
no idea if they have the software for mk1 clios though!

how do i find out more about this link interface as i want to be able to take reading from the diag port

[richy]

if you mean the scangauge best looking on google etc im sure they will have a site for it

as for Clip, tbh its not something i have ever looked into as never needed too, to buy a Clip you talking around 3k for Clip basic

the early clios dont use OBD or OBDII diagnostics

Doesn't fastchip do some kind of on board engine readout thingy?

do they plug stright into the dataport then ?

or do you require some fastchip piggy back ect...?

look much like the Greddy infometers you can get for jap cars but look cheaper with less functions
