Hello Piston Heads,

Hoping to get some help from you guys in the UK.
I want to get connected with the MBE 967 on my caterham 1.8 K series from 2002.
So far i have dowmloaded the easimap software on my Laptop,
now i am thinking abot buying a suitable diagnostic cable to get into the ECU.
The car has fitted a 16 way "OBD" port, as you guys maybe know there was no OBD in caterham K Series cars at all.
This connector is wired on 5 Pins, wire colors are white/blue , white/yellow, black, white and purple/blue.
Finally it should be noted that my laptop has only USB ports.

Regards
Michael

are you sure that the MBE 967 are doing CAN?

the connector shown on the sbd website is a OBD2 connector 2006 onwards.

mine is from a K-Series Engine 1998-2002 and has a different pinout.

Hi Red Seven,

no, there is no 9 Pin serial connector installed anywhere in the car, just this "OBD" thing.
Can you please tell me the pins of the ecu loom wich i must connect the serial plug wires to!
Am i right, do i have to solder the extra wires parallel to the loom and nothing else like resistors?
