Narvarr Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm setting up the alarms on my MXS and was wondering if anyone has been able to get the dash to display ECU fault codes? Below is a picture of how I have it setup currently, but I'm not sure if it's the correct way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Yep that will do what you want. The LED will flash the code and the fault code number will be displayed on the dash. Narvarr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narvarr Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 So, my next hurdle, is setting up the turn signals, headlight/high beam indicator, ETC. Problem is, all these indicator lights are controlled by factory CAN bus, not analog control. I contacted AIM and they said it can be read through the CAN2 Stream but I would have to make a custom stream through the CAN driver builder. Does LINK keep a database of the CAN protocol for each vehicle they make Plug in ECU's for? I'm using the Mini Link G4+ unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 We do keep CAN info for the cars we support, but generally the only stuff we reverse engineer is data that is received or transmitted by the engine ECU. All the stuff you mention here is more commonly body control functionality so we dont spend much time looking for it. We do have a "headlight on" and "DSC Status" message in our notes but It looks like that is from the instrument cluster to the ecu so Im not sure if this will work for you. I have no idea about the others. Attached file you can try. BMW_Mini Dash_@20190214_070815_005969.xc1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
