 I am keen to try diagnostic testing on my Ka (early 2002).
Unfortunately, I know nothing at all about it beyond the fact that the
system is called OBD2 (or maybe EOBD for European cars?). I have found
the connector on the car, and it's not a type I recognise.

Does anybody know of an idiot's guide website that gives the lowdown?

Grateful for any help.

Nothing listed in Autodata. The diagnostic socket isn't much use unless
you have several £k to buy the kit to connect to it.

Dervman's done it on his KA. He'll probably be along soon, but you can
try his website, it's dervman dot com.

Well you could spend several £k but buying an adapter & the software for a
PDA would seem a lot more sensible.

For a fairly generic one

The only thing I've got new enough to need it's an Audi for which

is better.
IIRC DErvman was running this

on his Ka

Or if you don't mind a bit of soldering/electroni­cs

www.scantool.net

do some cheap kit with free software based on the decoder chips from

www.elmelectronics.­com

the Ka would almost certainly need the J1850 (ELM320 chip) based version.

I've had the ISO9141-2 version working on a Toyota Yaris but it wouldnt work
on my
'98 Peugeot 406 which has the OBD socket but no support for it in the ECU.
Post 2000
cars should all be OK as there are EU requirements for it.

Do you know whether J1850 VPW or J1850 PWM?

Ford are usually PWM unless they are rebadging other manufacturers. Eg the
Probe
is ISO 9141-2 'cos it is of Japanese origin.
