Motronic uses same pins on diag socket as Simtec

Agreed. But nuclear_onion is counting the pins differently, and I think he
got the right pins to link accidentally because 4&5 are linked.

Hope I'm making sense here on what I'm on about.  :)

Makes sense.  Short either 4 and 6 or 5 and 6. 4 and have should be connected together anyway.

The link I put up before doesn't seem to work but this one should, http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/info/fault_codes/fault_codes.htm This was were I got my info from including how to work out how the pins are numbered.  According to them, the plug in mine is for a simtec but it must actually be motronic because out of the lists of codes for all the diffenent varients motronic were the only ones that matched what mine actually flashed out.  They also show different pins to connect to the ones in The Boy's picture which were the ones I used so it shouldn't have worked but it did and I have no explanation for that.

I did make a mistake about which number pins to connect. They put 5&6 NOT 4&6.  I just read it wrong, sorry.  Go check out the link and see what you reckon cos I don't get how they can get it wrong yet it still worked.

topbuzz does have a lot of inaccuracies....

v6 engines are motronic, 4 cylinder petrols are simtec.  All Omegas use the 16pin OBDII connector (though on post 2001 are actually OBDII protocol compatible).

I have a 2.0ltr 16v with the Simtec 56.5 plug and use the 5&6 pins, the other pins dont work on mine.
I just plug in the paperclip and turn on the ignition, then it starts flashing.

Now i have cleared mine, i just get the code 12 repeated, which is good..

Thanks, mark  :y
