Turbo Dodge Run Logger Home
This page (as crude
as it is), has information on logging ECU data from 84-92 Turbo Dodge vehicles
using an OTC-based scan tool connected to a PC.
What do I need to
get started?
1. Scan Tool
OTC
2000, 4000, 4000E, 4000Enhanced, Enhanced Monitor, including versions of these
scanners sold under the MAC, MATCO, Cornwell and possibly other names (Not
Snap-on).
2. Cartridge
1993 Pathfinder II domestic cartridge - This is the
one to get...it supports all TDs and can datalog.
Domestic Pathfinder - Works for scanning, but does not support datalogging.
Pathfinder 3-in-1 cartridge - I have heard that this supports our cars but have
not tested this cartridge
3. Chrysler
Diagnostic Connector
Chrysler Diagnostic connector: (connects the
Diagnostic connector under the hood to the scanner)
OTC part#: 212635 (available at www.toolsource.com #62951 - $31.95 or on ebay)
4. Serial Cable to
connect Scan Tool to PC
OTC part#: 212535 (www.toolsource.com #62945 -
$59.95) GTi DB-9 Cable
or
OTC part#: 212536 (www.toolsource.com #62946 - $64.95) GTi
DB-25 Cable (if you need a 25-pin connector for your PC)
Or, you can make your own, using a straight-through serial cable and a Switchcraft TA4FL connector that plugs into the scan tool. Do a web search on "Switchcraft
TA4FL" and you should find a few places that carry this connector.

5. TurboDodge Run Logger Program
This
program opens a serial connection to the Scan Tool, and lets you
"print" saved events and save them to a comma-separated-value (csv) file that can be opened and viewed using Excel or some
other spreadsheet program.
Requires Windows95/98, Windows ME, Windows NT,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP, and a computer with a serial port or USB to Serial
Adapter.
