Enhanced OBDII codes on Asian cars

[Dave]

Which scan tools are necessary to read Enhanced OBDII codes on Asian vehicles, mainly Toyota and Honda?

I have a ScanGauge II but the live data is limited with Asian vehicles (it’s worse with Honda) so I presume it’s not capable of reading anything other than P0xxx codes?

Something like this maybe? https://www.amazon.com/INNOVA-3120-Diagnostic-Reader-Vehicles/dp/B000KID2ZC

If you look closer at the specs, there’s no mention of it being able to read ABS, Transmission, Airbag codes on Hondas. That’s what I’m looking for, something that does all that plus other Enhanced OBDII codes on both Toyota and Honda cars.

The advertisement states:

Retrieves OEM-enhanced and transmission diagnostic trouble codes on 1996 and newer OBD2 vehicles – foreign and domestic, as well as the most popular 1982 to 1995 OBD1 vehicles
Designed to retrieve OEM Enhanced and Transmission diagnostic codes in all OBD2 (1996 and newer) and some of the most popular OBD1 (1981 to 1995) vehicles

And they have a list of which ABS systems their tool can access here: http://www.innova.com/Content/Support/Downloads/20151007_3120e_ABS_Charts.pdf?r=0.21155073758267984
The last two pages of that link are for Honda and Toyota.

I suppose you could always contact their support department to find out if it would meet your specific needs. One of the problems advanced DIYers face is having access to quality diagnostic equipment that doesn’t cost many thousands of dollars.

[guess it begins with R and ends with n]

On the 2001 Maxima I can’t connect to thairbag module or DDL1 line.

I already bought the Nissan Data Scan II + VAG-COM.

Can I mod the cable and install new chips to pick up the airbag codes?
