Obd on Australian cars

Hiya I’ve been searching far and wide trying to figure out how to communicate with my 2000 Australian sirion gtvi. I haven’t found a cost effective way of scanning it. I know it can be scanned because a shop did it once. I’ve tried a knockoff delphi ds150e I’ve tried elm327 based scanners of many brand on many apps and I’ve tried bridging pins and struggling to actually get commutation to the ecu or it’s codes. Any help would be much appreciated thankyou. :slight_smile:

I think this has been answered a few times I just cant remember where. There are scan tools that can read them but they are either expensive or harder to get. I cant remember the model numbers etc though. Sorry for the vague reply with no links or real information for part or model numbers etc but I hope this does help with some of your question.

I can’t say specifically for the Australian market cars, but I have been able to successfully communicate with my UK market M101 sirion with a knock-off Delphi DS150e many, many times.

By far the most difficult bit is making 100% sure that the Laptop sees the Delphi adapter, once you’ve got that working then the (OBD2) world is your oyster. Can I suggest that if you have the DS150e and laptop to hand, you try it on another vehicle to make 100% certain that its not a laptop > Adapter issue?

Assuming it does connect and talk to another car, are you making sure that the sirion ignition is on, but engine not running? i.e. ignition position 1?

Does the Delphi ‘box’ light up when its plugged into the OBD2 port? It should do. IIRC mine goes solid blue once its powered from the OBD2 port, then will flicker blue & green once comms are established.

Are you able to get some more detail of the specific error you’re seeing when you try to connect the Delphi to the car? Is it Delphi 201x cracked software, or the later 202x ‘autocom’ software you’re using? I have Delphi 2014r2 and Autocom 2023, both work and both talk to my car so this is definitely a solvable issue!

Test on another known good car first to rule out Delphi not seeing the USB port properly on the Laptop, then step me through the exact procedure you’re doing with the Daihatsu and I’m more than happy to help get this working.

Unfortunately I have done all these things, the British market sirions use OBD2 whilst the Aussie ones do not even though they have an obd 2 port. They communicate with a different protocol because Australian cars didn’t require OBD2 protocol for a while after the sirions production. Untested the ds150e on a Saab 9000 and a ford focus and both worked perfectly and I got the software to work well with them too. There is some weird fuckery going on in the Aussie cars.

ah, bother! Seems bizarre that Dai/Toyota would go to the effort of using different protocols for different territories, that must have cost more and been harder to support!

EDIT - It looks like it might be JOBD, you might need either an ANCEL JP700 and Autophix OM127 scanner to communicate on this protocol. It appears they’re not expensive, under 100AUD?
