can read abs codes at last!

just received alex peper's tricom cable ...it works first time (re advanced codes abs) no trouble with the same serial usb adaptor i had before, when trying with the pwm iso blue cable i bought from him.
The iso pwm cable he sells for some reason doesnt communicate with the scorpio..folk need know so to not waste money buying that cable.
now i can see the abs controller motor has a fault code and i would have wasted by time trying to clean sensors. got there in the end just took 3 months !

all i know is I couldnt get my iso/pwm cable to read abs codes..it read from the power train ok. tried for 3 months to get someone to say they had read abs codes and asked for advice.
getting to communicate with the iso side re the advanced codes is tricky.....for whatever reason the tricom cable definitely works ........if somone has got the blue iso pwm cable to read abs codes theyve yet to confirm that.

Hi Pedro,
Glad you got it sorted. I was about to upgrade to PMW/ISO but will now go for Tricom. Did you trade in your PMW/ISO cable? If so, how long did it take?

Ive emailed Alex asking if he will trade in ...no answer yet
he said he would previously so no reason to suppose he wouldnt...but he wouldnt trade a basic pwm cable i dont think..the tricom has a largish box with electronics in it that interfaces with the cable

I only bought my cable 2 weeks ago.Iemailed him first to ask which one i needed for ABS codes. He said I needed the PWM ISO combi. Im hoping that it would be the right one?

So can I just confirm, is it the Tricom cable which is the one to go for? And what connection type does the Tricom have at the computer end?
Are people getting better results with serial or USB connections, or is there no difference?

yes.. the other ones dont read the abs codes or at least they wouldnt on my car...they all have serial cables so needs a usb converter...i dont think anyone has been able to read abs codes probably due to the pwm/iso cable not connecting communicating
get the tricom with a usb adaptor

its not too tricky; assuming you have got the software running and its communicating select the "data" tab, then go to the top menu "advanced" ..then pull down the menu which is defaulted to "all" and find abs ......let me know if you have a problem

hi there
that's the easy bit! 
as soon as i try to access the abs (iso) is hangs the connection. try various settings, but no use.
hell, it even changes settings itself!
it giving me a sore head!
what i need is something along the lines of...
tick pwm, tick iso, etc.....
cheers
btw, the issue is with a galaxy, but it won't talk to my scorpio (only talks to the engine on both cars).

I am assuming you have the tricom cable with the box that plugs into the obd socket? the basic pwm/iso cable didnt work for me.
Can sense your frustration with this ..it drove me nuts; software is not friendly and is buggy.
go to options/gateway
filters page tick all boxes
protocol page tick all boxes except..send mode/initiate mode/CAN/default (sae ISO) ....speed set to 120
interface page both ports must be the same and tick the tricom interface nothing else ticked
hope this is what you wanted..john

I don't have the "Advanced" button on the data tab on my VE software version 151.
Or does it only appear once connected and communicating with the car?
Or only on higher versions of the VE software?
