The guy's done some nice work there, most impressed. One minor mistake I spotted was that eec-iv can do live data if the ecu has the DCL connector

Back to the topic in hand, what is an "ABS" code?

Surely its not the obvious?

so surely thats just a waste of time for an FRST then as the ECU doesn't have any of those features?

FRST ABS is the mechanical stuff aswell though ain't it?

That brings up fault code for the wheel sensors and alike, which obviously the mechanical stuff doesn't use?

there are a couple of sensors on there but there not linked to anything as such that a reader will read so yeah its not much use on that side for the frst, but then again, even if it was, the asb on the fiestas is dog shit and then some so the best way to fix a fault is to remove it

right guys, i have the bits on order tonight so should be with me tomorrow or thursday and the chip was tried to be delivered today.
i got to get a couple of bits from mapins as rapid online didnt have them in stock so fingers crossed and if i can pull my finger out i shall start making it next week.
then if it works i have to find someone with a fault to test it on
