XZBMW  E38 can't connect to any module via diagnostic port ADS
Hi

I have a problem connecting to BMW E38 1996.
I've tried three interfaces (2 with INPA, one universal) and i can't connect to any module (tried DME, Airbag, EWS ...)
My interfaces work fine, they work for sure with ADS and old BMWs

What can be wrong with this car?
There's an airbag light on dashboard.

I have checked diagnostic socket, voltage pin (12v) is ok, and ignition pin is also ok.

I'm connecting to round plug under the hood
I didn't find OBDII in this car, i think BMW put it in cars from 1998

Fuse? does your cigarette lighter work?
wrong protocol?
wrong configuration?
Check for Logs on windows side and on edibas side of things

Disconnect your battery for half an hour and then retry through the ADS.

Hi,

have you changed the file "EDIABAS.INI" / "OBD.INI" from ADS to OBD Mode ?

COM Port Settings ok ?
