    Which engine do you have under the bonnet Cuckoo?
    The 3.8 V6 is 100% OBD2 compliant but the 3.5 V6 and 3.2 diesel are reportedly not...
    If you have the scanner working on a 3.2 diesel, we would all like to know more!

        Why is the 3.2 Diesel not compliant? I also ordered a scanner online and is awaiting delivery. Did I waste my money? How do you read fault codes on the Gen3 3.2 D-ID if it's not OBD2 compliant?

          Australian delivered Gen 3s were not OBD compliant, but the US made OBD compliance compulsory from about 1996.

          As you're in South Africa, your vehicles may have been OBD compliant earlier than ours?

            I received my OBD2 scanner and just as expected, the 2001 Pajero 3.2 is not compliant.... Well, atleast it worked on the Amarok, so it is not all lost. I am contemplating doing a Lexus V8 conversion anyway.

              Re compliance:
              Sometimes it is not about the compliance, but about devices connected to OBD port.
              But no doubt, if the ECU is limited.

              First - it is up to OBD device plugged into OBD port. My Ancel elm327 v1.5 BT works fine. But It was third try (the first and second are in basket).

              Second is scanning (codes, sensors) and interpreting SW (Fault code related your car configuration). Still Torque Pro is unbeatable.
