Tom,
I purchased an Innova 3100 OBD II code reader and read two codes, P0571 and P1569. The P1569 was the first code. Do you have any idea what they mean. I was also able to reset the computer with the tool, no check engine lite yet but I have the same codes pending so I'm sure it will be back on.

Tom,
The only pin that the Lambo has that the Ferrari dose not is pin 4 chassis ground. I am also going to try another scan tool. I'll let you know how it comes out. Thanks for you help.

That may be your problem. If your are lucky though..maybe you can see the wiring going to the plug in the lambo to determine if there is a wire missing from the one in the Ferrari. Some times dealers like to remove one of the terminals in the OBD connector..to foil other garages from scanning the computer. |

Try to scan the car when it is running. This seems to be the only way it will work. |

Tom,
Thanks for your reply, maybe I'm doing something wrong. I used a Snap-On scan tool set for the generic mode and got a no communications message from the scanner. I tried the same setup on my Lamborghini and it communicated with that car ok. Any suggestions? BTW mine is a euro car.

Yes you can. But they will only be emissions related codes. The codes are industry standars so you can find out what they mean,if the scan tool only gives you a numer. The number will be something like this..P0123. emission's codes are supposed to be 3 didgit codes. You can some times get a limited data stream from the car aswell depending on what type of scan tool you have. The Snap-On scan tool seems to work really well for this. |

Does anyone know if it is possible to read any diagnostic codes on a 360 with a Generic OBD II tester? |
