I ordered one, but it’s going to take a while to get here. I would like to borrow one for a day or two. (@LoialOtter?)
Specifically, my truck’s ( a 2003 Toyota 4runner) traction control computer is throwing an error and disabling itself. I have the software on my laptop to communicate with it but I’m missing the cable to connect the laptop to the vehicle.
Yes, I could take it to a repair shop and have them do it, but then I wouldn’t learn anything in the process.
Unfortunately I don’t have anything like that. I do most of my ECU hacking on the internal bus rather than the icky OBD-II one (yes, it’s icky…)
We have one at the shop that’d work but that’d be like taking it to any other shop - kinda not what you’re looking for.
If you wanted to build one, they aren’t that hard to do. Depending on interface (looks to be CAN) you may have different options for making one. A great example is the Teensy3.2 has hardware CAN so you just need to add a transceiver and make a library that connects CAN to USB. There is a lot of work down this path to warn.
We have one in the space. Might be obd2 to serial, but its there.
