CAN serial decoding Ford Fiesta ST150 mk5

Post by bsh »

Hello
I am installing a standalone Vi-PEC ecu with configurable CAN output in a Ford Fiesta St150 mk5 rallycar. The car is up and running with the Vi-PEC, but the instrument cluster uses CAN from ecu to show coolant temp and tacho, and this is not working. Is there a way using my PicoScope to capture/decode the signals from the stock ecu so I can use the info and get the Vi-PEC ecu to send the info via CAN to the oem instrument cluster?
I am new into the CAN, so any help would be nice:)
I see Cancapture sell a can sniffer ( http://www.cancapture.com/cancapture.html ), but would be nice to save the money if I can get the info with the help of my PicoScope.

Thanks
Ben Stian

Hi Ben
Within the PicoScope software we can save Can data and decode these files and export onto an excel file. I think you would need to ask Vi - PEC which format they require the data in.
Have you since fixed the vehicle ?
