This is a much cheaper alternative and does the same job.

the one thing I found was using on japanese cars you need to buy specific obd as their obd system is different to european models .

Early Peugeot 206 models too! Though the OBD port is the same as modern stuff you need Peugeot Planet etc.
A kind soul on another forum lent me his kit.

My one asks what region the car is from IE Japan, Europe etc.
It’s worse than that! My OBD reads cars from all over. Beyond that it asks for region - as above- but it can’t cope with the fact that it’s a commercial vehicle (ie a van) beyond reading the most basic of engine details.
I previously thought my reader was great- but had never considered the van aspect.

The one I have is for cars and light vans. A friend was having problems with a 5 ton MAN van. Scanner automatically identified it as MAN and wouldn’t go beyond that as I don’t have access to larger commercials. Manually scanned it as VW and had access to all the dtc’s which were mostly due to low battery voltage when the battery had been recently replaced.

might have to take you up on your offer if still going @carbon
You can buy cheap clones of the hardware from aliexpress easy enough and they arrive bundled with peugeot planet and the newer diagbox software that you can run in a virtual machine, I believe diagbox covers Toyota's and modern GM too... I have same for my daughters 207 & for Renaults I have a clone vci. Generally I find out what the dealer only software is, then check if theres a clone on aliexpress or similar. Something like a topdon gives you the ability to sniff the bus for the keycode to unlock the bcm and other extras, but at a price and I have the keycode already. I just want obd messages, to be able to program immobilizer chips and remotes and clear fault codes etc.
Do I feel at all guilty at buying chinese clones? no, if they'd (stellantis et all) stuck to the spirit of obd2 instead of adding new protocols and extensions to try and lock people out then it woudln't be needed to have expensive readers or different software for different cars for full diagnostic functionality.

oh will have to have a look tommorwIs it the same as a Peugeot partner?
I saw that, and thought immediately that it was desiged as a lhd then adapted to rhd, you see a fair bit of that sort of thing with Peugeot's and Renaults...

Bringing back bad memories, pals Berlingo had same code, local garage replaced brake switch however it was the ABS unit that was faulty. By all means try the switch as they are cheap and do fail.
If that doesn't resolve the issue be very, very careful about sending the abs unit away for repair. He sent the unit to a company who had a very promising web presence but I am certain they did nothing at all to the unit, pronounced it working and wasted my time for ages searching for further faults when it was the unit they had supposedly tested on their rig for 24hrs. A replacement pump from eBay did the job for him for the same money the crooks got from him.
A decent scanner will show brake switch statuses and also abs pressures.

Isn't that the light that comes on just before a crashing sound.
I don't think so (but could be wrong). Have a look here, might give you somewhere to start.
