sailorbob 274 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 The EBC 430 is more widespread than the book lists. As you say, the Elise and VX220 and Diablo amongst others. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sailorbob 274 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Some photos of someone trying to get into an EBC 415 https://www.drive2.com/l/9026726/ Definitely harder than getting into an EBC 430. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swindon_alan 1,693 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 @march Hello Marc, a Happy New Year to you. As above, I'm looking to put a KH415/KH430 diagnostics etc. app together. I can develop and test against the KH415 on my '96 V8 but I will need some help with the same against a KH430. I'm assuming that your post '98 has one? If so, have you got a DLC/ELM327/PC interface that you use for e.g. Peter English's V8 ECM diagnostics tool? We can take this offline to IM if you can assist. Thank you sir.

march 871 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 @swindon_alan - I have the ELM 327 module but the software I have only talks to the engine management system (Gendan) so can't really help much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swindon_alan 1,693 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 @march aha! That is EXACTLY what I need Marc! I am going to develop the software to talk to the ABS ECM. Are you up for helping me? It will only require you to download and run a simple comms utility program against the instructions that I will provide. Then once I have proven the interface I can write the application and of course you will get a copy! This is not mega urgent by the way, I need to do my KH415 first to prove that it is possible. So it is not imminent. Quote I tempted fate...now my Esprit V8 IS in bits...(sob) Link to post Share on other sites

A quick skim and we now have all of the pin outs, fault codes and diagnostics for both KH415 and KH430 (already had the KH415 ones from the Lotus Service Manual but nice confirmation). @sailorbob KH430 has fault codes for ECM memory: 8-bit RAM/ROM, 16-bit ROM and 16-bit RAM so you are spot on about that. Nothing similar for the KH415 so looks like I will have to persevere with the cold chisel... In the meantime I've been investigating putting a Windows app together for the full TECH-1 functionality and I think it is do-able. I want to have options for both serial/USB and Bluetooth ELM327 interfaces and because the V8 ECM and ABS ECM share a common serial data port on the ALDL connector I believe I can target it if I can iteratively find the right protocol number. Out of interest, this very comprehensive books lists all major European manufacturer KH usage 1982-2000 and it is not a lot! KH415: Vauxhall/Opel Frontera 1995-2000 Vauxhall/Opel Vectra B 1996-2000 (Plus Lotus V8/GT3 1996-1997ish) KH430 aka Lucas EBC 430: Fiat Marea/Weekend 1996-2000 Daewoo Matiz 1998-2000 (Plus Lotus V8/GT3 1998 on) The majority of the rest of the cars listed use a variety of Bosch or Teves ABS with a smattering of Bendix and other Lucas products. Hi , i have been looking at doing an arduino version of the Tech 1 , from what i understand there is a pin on the OBD port to talk to the ABS unit, if i can support you or help in any way , please PM me cheers Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
