Obd2 Scan

[Thiwanka Wimalasuriya]

hi,

I have a suzuki swift 2003 car and the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) of it just went off.

I want to do a odb scan and find whats wrong with it. Apperently the car is not showing any difference in performance or behavior.

What are the places in Sri lanka that do this scan ?

Thanks

I met zakie , tried to scan, but the scan tool he had did not work for the car.

Will try my luck at A*W. only think is when i called them they said "ummm.... all our computerized tools (at kitulwatte where they have suzuki workshop)are damaged.....wont be avilable for a month". I didn't ask "ALL YOUR COMP TOOLS !! HOW THAT POSSIBLE" , even though I wanted to

Is there anyone else with obd Scan tools ?

Any comments about m*gc**y.

MAG is a definite No, though they probably have the tools. Macro Autotech in Nawala probably have the tools themselves and might be able to scan.

The issue is not one of having an OBD II test tool, but having the right software to go along with it to decrypt the fault codes to something more meaningful

Perhaps its best to wait a month until A*W's tools are back online though even I find it surprising all of theirs have gone bust (probably have only one as they are fairly expensive pieces of kit !)

Check with Nadeera if he can. 0777681116. Try and see, coz I don't know if he handles Suzukis.

O.k. There's a guy named Chaminda at Wattala. He's 1 of the best car elecs in S.L(this guy even fixes fried ECU's). I only give my car 2 him cus of wht "car elec wannabe's" has done 2 my car in the past. Since sum idiot has messed my diagnosis I have no way of findin out probs. He has n individual device scanners. As I speak my car is gettin fixed by him due to my air intake controller is busted n cant find any parts. So he's the only guy who can fix dis. Lil expensive(he knows his value) but gets the job done(cheaper than replacing the part though). If u want the # I'l p.m. u.

GuruG the PM facility is not enabled on this site, but this person sounds useful enough for his contact details to be posted in the open forum

I do not think there would be any objections to that from the site admin and the moderators

sorry for not updating the thread. the MIL is still up. car is still doing just fine. also do about 13km/leter with AC in city drives.

btw i did one test [i know what i'm doing, so no need to worry about this ] by shorting out

pin2+pin4 of the 6 pin Diagnostic connector. This gave diagnostic code 14. (one long flash, four short flashes).

This generic code is for "Coolant Sensor Circuit (Signal Voltage Low)"

I suspect a faulty (shorted) coolant sensor. will go to the agent soon do a proper testing.

All,

I went to A*W last week and get them to scan it. They told it's the O2 sensor. (Actually it's not the sensor itself, but the heater thats inside the sensor). After they showed me that the heater is open circuited, I got it replaced. Now the MIL is off when I drive. I also noticed a little bit of performance increase while accelerating. It seems to do bit better on fuel too.
