Elm327 Question

Recommended Posts

I have recently brought a mk6 automatic fiesta and I am wondering if the elm327 will work on it? It worked on my focus and works on my mk4 mondeo.

Can't seem to find much information and haven't had any replies on talk Ford so I've come here to ask.

Many Thanks

As far as I'm aware it doesn't work on the mk6 fiesta as I wanted to use it for a few things

Only works on the Focus platform I'm afraid.

Arh bugger I thought that might be the case as I'm sure there isn't a cun-bus system on it. I thought I may be able to change a thing or two. Can I still use the cable for fault codes. If so what program/s will I need to have a look? Or am I better off just buying a cheapy ready from flebay?

Thanks for getting back to me.

I use a £5 bluetooth adapter on mine and it works fine for most things, when I require really in depth diagnostics I borrow a unit

Oh right ok. Where did you get the adaptor from? I would look on flebay but as there are so many I don't know which one will be good and what app to download for my HTC.

Many Thanks

On my HTC one M8 I use "touchscan" its amazing to put it simply. So many features such as speed tracking, live engine virtual dashboards etc. Fault code display and clearing. Mpg calculations and lots more! I'll get you a link to the adapter I use now!

Sorry mate I got my wires crossed there. Yes it will work. Only the modded elms work on the Focus.

Should work fine,i have modded elm and normal and all work fine on my laptop and my fiesta 2011.

Modded elm just gives more options on some programs but not all programs support it.

This is through u.s.b as i have a spare laptop with all car stuff on.

The modded elm327s don't work on the Fiesta if your after changing settings.

Mine works on my 2011 petrol on Forscan,and a few other Free software.

I flick the switch and get a few other things pop up when it scans on Forscan,
