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

[Lof8]

A little update here. The peake tool did not work when I initially plugged it in. I then put power to pin/wire 22 at the x20 via a 9v battery. It worked like a charm and gave me more codes than the regular stomp test.

Greg, maybe power this wire in future adapters? just a suggestion.

Sadly, it gave me nothing that pinpointed the obvious solution. I did find a possible vacuum leak, though. Hopefully she'll be going soon.

I don't think so.

Does it give you more codes than a stomp test is able to pull?

Peake tool works on all the swap car's i have used it on. That's 5 different swaps.

and a follow up question...is the peake tool able to give me more than I can find through a simple stomp test?

the peake tool is on order - my family has 2 other bmws, so its not just for my application, but hopefully it does something to help.

no haven't changed anything between the 2

Do you have the peak at your house? we can try and see if its works when I am back.

Yeah it worked fine on mine car when me and tom hooked it up. It had a 02 code but I got it fixed but this was with the first adapter you made me. I dont know if you made any changes to the new one or not. I can ask tom if he messed around with the adapter or not if you want me too.

I can pull codes just fine.

guess that my adapter pin combination does not allow it to pull codes with the peak but it does allow it to pull codes with other types of scanners, as alex has one of my adapters. so I guess this weekend I will got back and try running a 12v jumper to pin 22 @ the x20 and see if it works I'll get back to you and see what happens

Peake works fine to pull codes on my car as well

I can pull codes just fine.

I am able to read codes through the diagnostic port. I had a VANOS code and a voltage supply CEL or something like that earlier this summer, that I used a Peake to find.

[Lof8]

FredK, power @ x20 pin 22 will allow the scanner to function fully?

Greg, do I have power there? If not, Its gotta be easy enough to jumper some power to use the scanner.

I don't want to offend anyone or sound too stupid - It's just very frustrating to be so close but so far away from a clean running swap.
thanks guys.

I got the modis to work with it and another one but I forgot the name of it.
