TECH 1/1A

[Dave S M100]

Guys,

I'm new to this site and didn't see much about info on the TECH 1 or 1A. I have a Tech 1A unit and the module for the Fed Elan and it works great.
I have both a FED Elan and a N/A Elan (non turbo). The Tech 1 does not work on the N/A and I have been unable to find out if there is a different module for the N/A, if so where to get one. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dave

Hi there,

I am having the same problem. My N/A won`t talk to my laptop using a known good cable. The opinion is that the ECU may be subtly different.

My good friend Geoff is still trying to help me get it working.

Regards

This could be the missing link.

If a dedicated piece of diagnostic equipment like the Tech 1 doesn't work on the N/A using the Turbo software then it's not surprising that Elanscan-equipped laptops won't work either.

Dave,

What a timely post, you're an absolute star.

Oliver has been having trouble with running ElanScan, a program developed by Alan (ESM or ElanScanMan as he is known here) and interface built by me with his N/A. You have just confirmed what I had begun to suspect, that the N/A is not compatible with the SE format ALDL.

I don't know if I can help you at the moment on the Tech 1 problem, but I now know where to start looking to try and decipher the N/A format for ElanScan. Once I have done that, I'd be interested to see if I can find any information on the Tech 1 and see if there is an easy solution (but it might be easier for you to use N/A ElanScan).
