It would be awesome if I can use DataScanII and the OBD scanner you mentioned above to finish diag on my pathy. It is the only TCM related code my pathy is showing. I created a post earlier today asking if anyone else has seen this code P1731. I would like to try and further diag the above code using pages the diag procedures outlined in pages 143 and 144 of the following A/T PDF file: Would also work with TCM DTCs such as the P1731?

Canâ€™t do that with just OBD II data by itself.

In my case I was able to see cam phasing (degrees of advance or retardation) and solenoid actuation in real time. What do you get with this? All of the ECM data fields listed in the FSM for CONSULT data. I contacted them and they said the ones they didnâ€™t get it to work with were other market models with different engines or ECUâ€™s (and theyâ€™d update their website). The NDS website says itâ€™s not compatible with the R51, but I gave it a short and it does in fact work with the VQ40DE.
