So do I need to modify my cable or not? Furthermore their diagrams are confusing as I'm not gonna get an adapter cable (at £18 for 3.) and swap it everytime I need to connect to the ECU or Airbag or ABS. This is as per here: It even states an example for the that for a TRW ECU I need a modified interface or an adapter cable but then sort-of contradicts itself stating that: PLEASE NOTE: For the old (non-EOBD) vehicles with 3-pin diagnostic connector you need UNMODIFIED interface with 3-pin adapter. As I understand from FiatECUScan, I need to modify my cable if I want to talk to my Airbag. Right, that's it! I've had it with my airbag light! I've tried all the software in the world and it does not work, HOWEVER it seems to me that there may be some issues with the cables. When I do I will add it to the original post. I'm sure there is one on the forum somewhere but I've not managed to find it yet. Would it be worth mentioning that the phase 1 Engine ECU diagnostic connector is in a different position to the picture shown and is in the passenger footwell? On the alloy top (CF1) engine I believe the Engine ECU diagnostics connector is actually in the black box at the back left of the engine bay along with the lambda connector but I don't currently have any pictures. The 145/146 uses a 3-pin connector for all diagnostic connection points on the car and NOT a 16-pin OBD connector as found on a lot of other modern cars (including other Alfas).
