Hello there,
has somebody maybe experience in reading/writing 24V trucks? I use a Kess V2 china clone, reworked from a member here on CT. It is working well via obd on 12V cars. Now i want to tune some MAN trucks, Ksuite 2.47 says i need to use Protocol 175. It says i need an other OBD cabel for these models: 144300K208. I dont have it. But It says also i can use the universal cabel (144300K201) which cames with Kess. Has somebody tested it ? Should it work with the universal cabel?

You need to read the help subject! You have to buy KESS V2 DAF MAN SCANIA OBDII TRUCK CABLE. Then you can read the EDC/PTM for the MAN. Cable is somewhere around GBP105. people say you could buy Autocom truck cables and use with universal cable! Only MR_PLD Temic that does not work

Thank you for your answer, but this is exactly this what I wrote before. I read the help subject, and it says: use 144300K208 (MAN OBD2 cable) OR use 144300K201 (universal cable). So why should ksuite lying me? I know all the PINs on MAN OBD2 connector, so why should it be a problem to connect the universal cable directly to the MAN OBD2 port?

Nope! I once tried reading it with the universal cable and it does nothing on MAN! So you need a man cable

You said a Delphi/autocom truck cables set should work to?

Yes, It's safer than connecting wires because you know pinouts and end up frying EDC

Why should frying up edc if i have pinouts of OBD connector. I have original circuit diagram of the vehicle. And ksuite says i can use this cable, so why it will not work? You wrote you tested it and it doesn’t work, what exactly doesn’t work, you got errors while reading or what?
