Mazda SST device? Are they available.
Lots of times the FSM shows the use of a SST diagnostic device.
Not the tools but a plug in device. My local dealer doesn't have the old ones that the FD used. Just curious if these are available from anywhere. Perhaps it was a model that worked for more than one brand of car? Anyway, seems like it would be handy to have. |
I know you don't need it to pull codes, but the FSM uses it for checking lots of other things like ABS diagnostics etc.
|
The ABS has its own diagnostic codes as well (flashing airbag light), you don't need the SST there either.
|
For the most part this tester just grounds out certain combinations of pins on the diagnostic connector and/or counts ground pulses to read codes. There are alternate ways to read codes.
This is typical for an early 90s car. A lot of those old scantools had memory cards or other such things inserted into them for each vehicle. They tend to crap out eventually and the manufacturer stops supporting them. |
