HI
Anyone else seen this for early mazdas code reader device. Wonder if it will work on bongos ?

Do you think they used the same error codes ?

I've emailed the company to ask if it does or can be modified etc

[Roy748]

Very interested if it can be modified for the bongo

[g8dhe]

It ought to be a simple job to be honest, he already has the code for working out the duration of the pulses. It will just be having a table of codes for the Bongo as well as for the MX5, if there different, and displaying the relevant text to go with the code number.

Had a reply saying they have seen them work on bongos

OK got the chance to test one of these on the way , As my van has not faults at the moment what would be the best way to simulate a fault to see if the codes are being read etc?
Thanks Dave

You really need to induce faults for each error code, maybe disconnect/short sensors or look up what codes are caused by what sort of failures?

[Ian]

Unplug an ABS sensor perhaps?

Dont have any faults on mine at the moment but would still be interested in one of these if it works.
I bet he would have a market to sell these to us Bongo users if he could adapt the code
