Hey guys i got my Bt cable on order, i have downloaded the drivers and software to my computer so it seems ready.


I was reading and it says on the bt cable website that if used incorrectly i can damage my ecu?

What should i be looking for not to do to not damage my ecu?

I just want to clear fault/shadow codes and datalog.

Should i backup my ecu file in some way? is that possible?


Also how do i go about datalogging?

Thanks

Only way to damage the ECU is if u go and try to change unknown parameters. The software will also warn you if u go into an area where u can damage something. All u need to do check/clear codes is "run full scan" then when it's done click "delete fault codes" and "delete shadow fault codes".

its really that simple it finds them for you? you dont even have to highlight them or anything?

Thanks.. Yea i am only gonna play with the check and clear codes... Then into some datalogging.

John Boxter, from what i was reading, you cant choose a single code to delete, they must all be deleted if you choose to delete any codes.

oh thats awesome so its very easy to use huh?

Could some explain the datalogging portion? Specifically, if I want to monitor boost over a 1/4 mile run.

so you are not suppose to change any parameters, including services?
Can you make oil change or any service time earlier?
