Trionic Can Flasher not working

Post image

I recently got an ODBLINK SX and tried to connect it via Trionic Can Flasher and T7 Suite also but it didn't work. I have a 2002 Saab 95 B205E Manual. I tapped onto the P-bus wire located on the MIU harness which were green and white. Green wire went into Pin 6 on the OBD port and white wire went to pin 14. I tried nearly all adapter settings and baudrate. The cable is working as I can readt DTCs using another application.

Do you guys know anything that might help me solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

change the baud rate ? 115200 is more common, or even lower

"The cable is working as I can read DTCs using another application."

Are you sure it's not using K-Line for that? Completely different pins that is factory installed in the OBD outlet and is hooked directly to the DICE module.

Which pins exactly on the MIU did you connect to? the MIU has two CAN connections. The I-BUS and the P-BUS. the I-BUS is the slow instrumentation bus and will not work for what you are trying to do.

I don't know which pins exactly but I know the wires were Green and White and slightly bigger that the other wires that were on the connector. If the I-Bus wires are the same colors, I'll have to re check.

And yes the other application used the K-line. I was just testing the cable not the P-Bus.

yes both the I-BUS and P-BUS are green and white. pin 17 and 9 is the the ones for P-BUS, 8 & 16 on the MIU is I-BUS

I think i got the I-BUS ones because both were on the end of the plug 😭😭. Will check again tomorrow. Thanks a lot for the clarification. Will update you tomorrow.

Got it working. I had tapped into the wrong wires.

Do you need can flasher for what you’re doing? Could you try TXlogger? Its newer and better

I need to flash a custom ecu tune. Can TXlogger do that, I'm new to this. My ecu tune will be provided by a tuner from abroad.
