Not all OBD-II hardware dongles will be electrically able to support all the signaling methods, baud rates, and so on, used in the car. It's essentially a "standard" creating by combining the several different approaches car manufacturers were using at the time.
There are a bunch of pins on the diagnostic connector there, with different ones used for some different physical layer communication standards (K-line, CAN, etc.), and some not even really used for serial communication at all, but just for signaling certain ECUs in the car by pulsing them to ground or other specified voltages. The EASE Po Level Interface and OBDII cable is an additional $200.00 if you do not have the Toyota Mongoose already.Ĭlick to expand.It can be a bit of both. You would need Level 1+2 software for $159.00 + a supported Device. We do offer Personal Level Software for Toyota however, you would need an EASE Pro Level Interface or Toyota Mongoose Interface to support the Software. Thank you for your interest in EASE Diagnostics. Can you please tell me exactly what I need to buy from you to be able to see all data on the related systems? I need to troubleshoot both an ABS issue and a fuel gauge / fuel tank issue for a 2008 Prius. I have no idea if this brand is any good or not, or if there are cheaper options, I'm just taking what they emailed me at face value:ĮASE - OBD2 Scan Tool, J2534 Programming, OBD2 (obd-ii) Software They have several options, basically if you go with them it will cost you about $360 to be able to read the low level ABS data. So I started searching for that something better, and came across these guys. What I have learned is that lots of data, such as the ABS data, doesn't show up for most generic OBD readers.
