Fault Code Reader

Post by ronslaverda »

Hi
Can anyone tell me of a code reader that will work on a 2018 Forza 300?

Unfortunately Tunerpro doesn't work with Honda motorcycles.
I use a similar cable than the lonelec conversion cable (4lole DLC to OBD) and a cheap OBD2 Bluetooth dongle connected to Torque Pro app on my Android servivmce tablet or phone. Works like a charm.
Ceveat: I haven't tested it on a for a 300, but it works on every Honda motorcycle I've tried it on (PCX 2013, 15, 2019), Cb500F, Cb500x, Cbr500r, cb650, Africa Twin Adventure sport 2018 etc.

Oyabun what specific OBD2 dongle do you use? I use a similar one too what lonelec.co.uk has on it's site, but no go. The wired USB kit did work with my computer though.

Not many have success - in past entries about this, someone says it works and others then have no luck at all getting their bits working on the PCX. Sometimes I believe it's a wiring issues as many of the connection diagrams off google search dissagree with one of the connection wires / functions - it seems it's not %100 standard at times.

Saved this diagram some months back - not sure it's the correct wiring or not.

I'm thinking that the dongle I have might just be outdated. I bought it years ago. I found a firmware update for it, I'll try and update the firmware, just for fun, and report back.

On a separate subject, has anyone bine able to read the rom from the ECM of the Honda PCX or Forza?

They are cheap so wouldn't it be worth buying a new one?

I like to tinker with arduinos and such. The PIC 3 programmer is a tool that i'll use in the future and it's fun. But, yes it would be 1/4 the price of a new OBD reader.
