Scanner?

dontilgon · 12-11-2011, 07:35 AM

Has anyone found a scanner that will work with 512tr that does'nt cost the amount of a major?

Don- Unless I am mistaken, there is no OBD II connector on the 512 TR. The engine is controlled by a Motronic 2.7 system, and factory testers like the SD1 could only analyze the engine Motronic ECU functions. There is a diagnosis plug near the ECUs, but I think it is proprietary for the factory SD1 tool. Leonardo's tool will work, but it is $20K or so.

Maybe Brian can elaborate or correct.

Yep your rite about that. I was hoping someone new of possibly being an sd1 to obd adapter. Wishful thinking

Take a look on the Texa tool.....it's called IDC4. Let me know if you need more info.

Gerdi- How about doing a dedicated thread to the Texa tools and what they can do on a Ferrari? Do not think Andrew will mind because a working tool would benefit all of us. Might end up with another Ferrari Life sponsor, too.

Their website is too generic to tell me much.

Yes PIS reset is possible.
Take a look at the pictures. Also you can see the system which are possiple to do a diagnosis. If you detailed information, write me a PM with your email adress.

You need a 55 pin break-out box or Autoforce tester with 55 pin and some have ABS built-in. I brought mine back in 91 for 13,000 US dollars. I have seen on EBAY from 500-2000 $. Make sure it comes with a 55 pin connector and books with tech info. John Bradley also put-out a book with pin info for the early Motronic systems.
