There is no manual (that I know of) so....

Connect up your laptop/pc to the car, start elanscan then...
Start Talking
Start Logging
Run the car for a few miles
Stop Logging
Stop Talking
Click Save

This will allow you to save a .ecu file.

Zip the file (use winzip or similar).

Post the zip file up here and people will have a look at the results and help you diagnose the problem.

As i pulled out my laptop today to do a few scans and see if i can find out where my high boost problems problems come from, i thought it would be a good idea to collect some data of what the sensors SHOULD do when operating fine, so it will be available for the community. This will then slowly grow into a user manual!

Is it a good place to post here, should i make a new tread, is there allready such a tread, or perhaps the wiki is the better place?

Congratulations, Ailwyn, you've just written the ElanScan manual. Huzzah!!! ;-)
