A generic OBD reader that works is the Ancel JP700.

 

Anything more than OBD codes and you need Techstream.

Hello Guys

does the AncelJP700 work also for 2004 3.0 6V? Any experiences

[Picasso]

yes it will but only read codes if engine malfunction light on if you want to read codes with out engine light on you will need techstream software

Thanks for this valuable information. I will get the techstream software. Any idea where i could get the right OBD plug?

Toyota germany doesn't know about Alphards and the model 2004 has a different pin assignment as far as i know. That's why no workshop here can use the obd diagnosis at my car.

There's at least two interfaces on the J1962 (https://www.dashlogic.com/docs/technical/obdii_connector_pinout) connector that support OBD comms:

• A) OBD-on-CAN pins 6 and 14.
• B) OBD-on-K-Line on pin 7.

B is A's predecessor and has a much lower baud rate. On my 2002 2.4L only B is supported and the same is possibly true of your 2004 vehicle. If so, it's likely the workshops you speak to only have equipment that supports A.

 

Anyway, I can recommend the following cable and software kit: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124808047632

Thanks, big help. I think I follow your recommendation.

Hi Geralt,

I ve bought the recomended cable and software kit. At one point of the installation it sais "to get the licence key send me the software ID.."

Unfotunately it nowhere sais where to send it, to get the licence key.

Do you have an idea?

Greetings
