OK, I've built a small diagnostics unit to read the error codes from the "almost OBD 2" socket in my 855. This is where the pods are wired to the OBD 2 socket in the car.

I can pull codes from:

1.The engine ECU on pin 3. 1-1-1 reported...good news, no faults logged.

2.Climate control on pin 6 has 2 codes: 4-1-7 & 1-4-5 mmmmm

3.Cruise control on pin 13 reads 1-2-2 but I ain't got a look up table for the cruise control. Anyone got one? Nothing in the Haynes manual.

4.No flashes from what should be the ABS on pin 12(if it's the same as the 900's). Anyone know if this isn't the ABS pin? Any info would be appreciated. Also how do I reset the codes? Is it the same as the pod...hold the button in for 5 seconds?

I had a look at the wiring to the pods, they have 8 wires going to them just like the "almost OBD" aka "a OBD2" socket. Colours are different but I guess if they aint reading 0volts then I could pulse them to see if I can pull a code.

I reckon the ABS is on pin 1 or 7. I will find out soon.
