Hello fellow S2000 enthusiasts!

I recently got me an S2000 AP1 year 2000(EUROPE). My car has a CEL, suspecting it could be the knock-sensor because i just changed it(3 weeks ago). I dont want to take any chances, so i decided to read the codes without any tools. Used the modifry page to both find the OBD2 connector, and tried shorting the SNS wire to GND.

Turns out there is no wire for SNS? Took a picture and decided to get help before i break something.





This is from passenger fotwell. Did a search in driver fotwell, but i didnt find any empty plugs.

Help would be MUCH appreciated!

 

I would not assume that directions for using the connector on USDM cars would apply to European-market cars. OBD is a US-market requirement.

 

Which type of connector do you think i have then?

Stopped by my Honda dealer, but the charged 100 us dollars just to read the codes! Figured out i Could by a unit to read the codes for my self, but i need to know which connector i have ...

 

EOBD I would think

 

Cant find any tools that says eodb... seems sa its the same sa odb. Could it be that my plug is odb1 or that it is delivered with out any odb?

 

The plastic plug itself might be the same, but the wiring to the ECU could be different, and the Euro ECU may not be set up for the OBD protocol at all. OBD 1 was an older version that some US manufacturers used in the '80s and '90s. OBD 2 was required for all cars sold in the US beginning in 1996.

 

Perhaps you can get some beter feedback in one of these forums..

from wikipedia

The technical implementation of EOBD is essentially the same as OBD-II, with the same SAE J1962 diagnostic link connector and signal protocols being used.

 

Euro MY'00 AP1: as far as I remember shorting SNS to GND blows a fuse.

IOW: it did not work for me.

So I bought an OBDII reader, works perfect.

The hand-held OBDII readers are less than 100 Euro for sure.

 

SpitfireS; Could it be that you shorted the wrong wire and shorted it ? I almost did it my self! In my plug there is not a sns wire.

Did some reading last night, and it seems as my car has another obd2 protocol that the US. Did a reading on this page; http://pinoutsguide.com/CarElectroni...2_pinout.shtml

With no Sns wire, i need a odb reader, so ill just order noe today.

Thanks for the help guys!

 

I bought an OBD2 blue tooth reader off Amazon ($23 USD), and Torque app for Android (full version $5). Works amazingly well.
