Wow I will have to figure that out as this may be my issue where can I find a copy of those instructions?

My T-OBD page has a download link for Scantool software as well as my user guides.
Enjoy!

Thanks to everyone who has posted!

I ordered the T-OBD unit from Tore and have the software working. The software quickly connects to the Motronic and CCU systems on my '90 964 but has not established a connection the the SRS or ABS systems. I'm especially interested in the SRS connection as I have the airbag warning lamp illuminated and was hoping that I could clear this code. The screen showed connecting but never established the connection. Does this connection take longer to establish? Is this supported in a 964?

I have the switch set to DME as I understand that this is proper.

Any suggestions or help are most appreciated.

Battery replacement is not a problem with the "Hammer"
Go to any Batteries Plus store and they will make up a rechargeable pack. I had one made earlier this year.

@993James993,

Even using my official porsche Hammer connecting to the Alarm, SRS, and ABS control units isn't as easy as connecting to Motronic and CCU. I usually cycle the ignition key and try to connect - sometimes it works. The Hammer "times out" in 3 tries or so, but the scantool tries to connect continuously to the unit

Thanks! I was able to connect by hooking up the reader, selecting SRS from the menu and then starting the car. I cleared the only code displayed (#29 if I recall correctly) but the light did not go out. A refresh did not show the same code but the light was still illuminated when I restarted the car.

Does anyone know if there is something else required to clear the lamp?

Just started up my car and no more Airbag light! Tore's T-OBD just paid for itself! Many thanks to the members who designed the circuit and wrote the software and to Tore and Ricardo for building and selling the devices.

Thanks James, It's always nice to help others. :-)

I built my own Scantool interface years ago, however, I still don't have a proper 19 pin round adaptor. Do you sell just the plug? I would solder the 4 wires myself, if tha's the case!

If Tore cant supply the plug they are on fleabay for about 14 bucks

HiWind

can anyone point me to the software for Tore-B's tool? I have one now
but can't see the link or page where the software is ... is it on RL somewhere? Tore-B's site also seems to have changed.

thanks!
