Proper method for diagnosing a bad Opti - CamaroZ28.Com Message Board There is no substitute for testing, a "new" part is not a guarantee of proper function.

    Proper scanner and adaptors

    As mentioned in my first post, once you power up the tool make sure the software versions loaded in your MSC are correct. As far as I know the adapters are the same between Tech 1 and Mastertech, I'll research the part number and post here later.:thumb After looking at the Bosch website I...

    Help! Replacement Transmission Filter Interfering with Pan

    Sounds like the old o-ring remained in the bore and was removed when you pulled the new filter back down, easy to confirm if the old filter is still available and the o-ring is not on the tube. I like cork gaskets, many do not, but they often make the mistake of applying some additional sealer...

    Question: C4 Under Hood Light Not Coming On!!

    Most of your assumptions concerning the under hood lamps are correct, they are not on a timer however and will remain on until the hood is closed. To prevent a dead battery when leaving the hood raised for long periods such as during a car show you can unplug the fuse located near the electric...

    Help! Replacement Transmission Filter Interfering with Pan

    Are you sure the filter o-ring was removed with the filter? The old one frequently sticks in the valve body and must be carefully removed with a hook type tool. If it is not the new filter will not seat properly. Never use any sealer on a cork gasket, even small amounts of RTV can cause the...

    Help! First Corvette - 1994 Admiral Blue LT1 - Error Code Issue

    This could certainly be an injector problem, but with 120K on the clock and unknown maintenance history it might be a good idea to check the fuel pressure first, could be as simple as a restricted fuel filter. :D

    Proper scanner and adaptors

    I would say you got a great price on the scanner, with the correct software you should be capable of accessing almost anything thanks to the CAN and VIM modules. Best idea would be to save an e-bay search for Tech 1 and Mastertech cartridges, the MSC shows up farily often. Typical price is...

    Proper scanner and adaptors

    That statement be true for current production, but I see at least one other model for sale frequently, such as the one listed here. Vetronix Mastertech ET2100MT Diagnostic Scanner Kit MAC Tools V.4.0 OBD II OBD2 | eBay I have no idea what the differences are between models, both appear to...

    Proper scanner and adaptors

    The 12mg pro card listed is some sort of software for the tool, but I have no idea what. Even the Mass Storage Cartridge PN 30000003 could be programmed with different software that is why I emphasized the importance of checking the software versions installed before purchase. Ask me how I...

    Proper scanner and adaptors

    I do not see the model number listed for the tool, I'm reasonably sure you can use the same MSC described above in the Mastertech, but I'm not very familiar with the scanner, I do know the Bosch website listed many of the same cartridges for the Mastertech. There are some nice accessories...

    Proper scanner and adaptors

    The key word is bidirectional, if the scan tool does not specify that feature it lacks the ability to operate solenoids and relays. It only receives information from the PCM it cannot command it to operate anything, thus all flow is in one direction. Most consumer grade scan tools function the...

    Proper scanner and adaptors

    Hib, thanks for the updated information concerning cartridges and adapters, I was going by the Bosch website in my link and it seems to show several are still available for purchase as accessories for their MTS 3100. I will note the changes indicated by your contact. As mentioned in my first...
