It has a datalogger built in, it saves the files as a CSV format which is a text format and can be opened with lots of different software packages.
I'm currently reworking it to use the Suzuki protocol and because it was originally designed to work with my own ECU design. My ECU would broadcast data so the software doesn't currently poll for data. Its a rainy day project so its pressing rather slowly at the moment.
I'm making it available because I'm moving on to design a new 32-bit ECU with a lot of hardware acceleration.
Wow! sounds cool but how can we retrieve the text file into our computer?
HI, I saw your list of trouble codes but it didn't says the CEL blinking patterns e.g how can I tell if it is code 13 or 51 ?
As you mentioned to reset the ECU by pulling out the Tail/dome light fuse, are you referring to the Tail light fuse in the fuse box under the steering wheel ?
that is a good question.
the answer is the ending delays are far long then the inter digit delays.
eg:
long pause, blick , short pause, blink blick, long pause. repeat or next fail. code.
if you think that is hard , try 12 and 21. ouch.
just gander longer and you will see the longer pauses.
no ,not tail
there are 3 fuse the ECU.
Tail - main power
dome = memory
FI , this is ecu and dizzy
do you need lid id , i have it.
Oh I see.... so Long pause blink blink blink blink blink Short pause blink blink blink = 53 ?
The 2nd method to reset ECU is to remove negative from battery for 2mins right? losing radio and clock is fine with me...
By the way, my 94' 4dr seems to have 1 6pin socket with black rubber cap and 1 4pin socket and both are next to each other. I guess I should be using the 6pin socket right ?

no, the dome fuse kills memory , leave , TAIL , RADIO, FI and other fuse and battery alone. or as you say , kills radio memory and clock.
5 binks, short pause 3 blinks, long pause, repeat.
the pauses are diffentialy different.
that is correct , the 94, 16v 4dr , usually has a 6 pin ,rubber capped DLC.
the other 4 pin C101 for A/C
Okie dokie... Just one last confirmation is that removing the negative from Battery only kills radio memory and clock and of course erase previous codes in ECU (reset) and will not cause any damage to the ECU or screw up the normal operation of the car ?
I need to take some fresh readings because I remembered the last time when my mechanic counted was 13 and he claims was normal but according to your error code list is faulty HO2 Sensor failure.
some radios, not all use the main veh. battery for memory.
newer ones us super caps, or flash.
same with all other things, but if origional they do forget with main battery pulled.
only harm that will happen is.
crossing over and putting battery in backwards. +>1 and - to + boom.
and if you erase a car alarm and do not have the book. ouch.
but the ecu, will only reset it long term trims. for fuel
it will relearn them is a few miles and you will never notice.
i have no idea what add ons your car has.
nor upgrades, but the ECU will be happy , just pull the dome fues and leave main bat alone, no reason at all, to pull it.
need fuse map.?
