Engine Scanning....

[AmericanGuyInAUte]

Hey!

I have 2 scanners here but can't get any live data (or even codes) on it. Both of my scanners are for OBD2 systems. I'm guessing that the ECU in the 1997 VS Ute (V6) is not an OBD system.

What do i need to scan this vehicle?

ALDL
Here's what l use.

Vident i400AU OBD Scan Tool - All System Diagnostics + ECU Coding

Vident iLink400 AU Version Scan Tool is a professional scan tool ideal for personal cars or specialised workshops. Instead of investing in a professional scan tool to cover all cars which you don't need, the i400AU provides the opportunity to get all the features but for one to few car brands...

AED by Envyous Customs and a laptop is what I used to use.

Ideally, you need a Tech1. But they would show up on eBay once a year at most. You may see Tech2 clones that work with ALDL, but they wouldn't support a VS, only later models. The Vident partly works with VS. If your ute is manual with no ABS or airbags, it would be okay for you.
