I have an EM spy lead I made up from a deutsch plug and USB 2.0 lead. According to the ECMSpy guide, the colours should be 1-orange, 2-black, and 3-yellow. Unfortunately , the colours in my lead are red, black, green and white. I substituted green for yellow,and red for orange but could not get connectivity. A borrowed, proven lead worked on that installation( my old laptop, now gone). Any ideas as to the correct colour code? Thanks | ||

are you converting from the 12v of the bike down to the 5v of your PC? you risk burning out the USB plug on your laptop if you don't. http://www.ecmspy.com/kabel_pc.shtml that should help you with the pin out | ||

I found your link to the ECMSpy tuning guide very interesting. I have a guide, came on the ECMSpy disc supplied by a fellow bueller. The screen grab below shows the front page, and version http://http://ranmar.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Ralph s-Bikes/ecm-spy-cover/1016606558_ejzM9-M.png There are no photos of the plug connections in my guide, the connections mentioned are the same, but the lead used is obviously different. A USB2.0 lead has only four wires , the one shown in your link has eight, hence my lack of success. I was led to believe that it was simply a normal USB lead, obviously not so. The FDTI interface lead, meant to emulate a serial comms port, has need for more. I just tested the output of the lead I had made up, the 12v output pin of the ECM was not reaching the plug, so, no damage. Now , to source the correct lead... Thanks. |
