Is it possible to pull codes through the e36 diagnostic port?

I dont know about the peak but I got my scan tool to work with my car through the obd1 port so I wouldnt see why not.

what scanner do you have?

[robmespeedy]

once again only to reset the si light not pull codes

You can pull codes from it.
snap on scanner with the BM-1B Adapter for bmw.

That's x20 pin 19.

If x20 pin 22 is powered, then the Peake tool will work.

This is what I was told:
"sorry but the peak scan tool will not work with the conventions as the e30 does not have a return for the data line trough the data port"


I'm trying to pinpoint the cause of my rough running s50. I'm thinking that scanning with a peake may help, but am being told its not possible in an e30.

Is there a necessary wiring through the adapter to power the scan tool?

Edit: to clarify, we're all talking about the circular diagnostic port on the e36 engine harness.

Yes, it's possible. Otherwise what is the point of the peake tool?

Using a peake tool, is it possible to pull codes through the e36 diagnostic port on the engine harness?

I was planning to buy a peake tool to help me pinpoint my s50 rough running problems, but I've been told that is not possible.

Any help?
