useing diagnostic cable from ebay

[jas98]

hi i have one of those diagnostic cable you can buy from ebay that comes with the EFILive software, i have had a play around with it but still have no idea how to use it but i will lern, i was wondering if anyone else has this and does it work good? can i check to see if O2 sensors are r unning properly even no theres no code? if so how do i read it?

also is there any other software i could use that is similar to this?

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that you only see error codes logged while the car is running with the ALDL cable. To see the previously logged codes you use the paperclip.

I use the cable to check sensor readings but I have never been able to display logged DTCs with EFILive, so I just use the paperclip.

First of all learn how to spell learn then only you can learn.

Ok mate you can check the o2 sensor with EFI live voltage/Graph mode.
Once in closed loop condition the o2 sensor will start giving out voltage from 100mv-900mv/1v (always changing )
This is with a working o2 sensor of course.
Best way to view it would be on the graph option.

not that good the seller has 0 feedback for a start, anyway most of those things on ebay with efilive are usually only the evaluation version so pretty useless. Better off using tunerpro RT and use the adx for logging with vs v6 here with it. tunerpro normal and paid are the same just no delay at startup. With the connectors the FTDI chipset ones are the best.
