Hi all,

So headcase kindly gave me ecu software, to diagnose / look at faults - but cant find an RS232 port anywhere on the ECU - any clues as to where the RS232 plug is located?

Many thanks,

Stuart.

jeez - you respond quick - many thanks for you're help! :-)

do u know if the lead is a standard RS232, or do the RTS / CTS / RX and TX have to be crossed on the lead?

Many thanks,

Stuart.

have you seen any photos knocking around of the ECU, showing the top off and where the RS232 connector is - about to go out in the garage and start playing - want to make sure that I am taking the right parts to bits ;-)

Thanks again - stuart,

many thanks - going to play now :-)

you mention in the previous post that with the mil light on lambda sensors etc may be "bad" - is there anyway to check that, and would the diagnosis software show me anywhere?

thanks

stuart.

if you have the right software you should be able to see a log of all faults

I have the "TVR ECU Diagnostics Software" from MBE Systems

When you start it up, it comes with a picture of a cerbera - sound familier?

tks
