Hey, anyone know what OBD2 protocol the 2005 380 VXR uses. From what i can gather Mitsubishi use their own proprietary standard.

I was thinking about getting one of those ELM327 bluetooth scanners off ebay..

It should work fine - I got one of these and no issues:

dont waste your money...get a chinese MUT3 tool instead.

Don't waste $23 on a diagnostic scanner, spend $2,300 on a chinese MUT3 instead?
Makes sense to me...

you are wrong.

it is not $2300....please check facts before quoting me.

I didn't quote you.
Perhaps i should've said "Don't waste $23 on a diagnostic scanner? Cheapest Chinese MUT3 i can find is $2,300. Makes sense to me..."

By all means post a link for a MUT3 that's better value, i'd be interested.

People here have them and didn't pay that amount ask them cause I am too busy.

Thanks for the info, appreciate the effort.
Anyone who has bought a cheap Chinese MUT3 care to point me in the right direction?
I've only managed to find them for over $2,000 and can't justify the cost compared to a $50 bluetooth adapter and Torque ($5 or $10 program from memory).

I have one, last communication I had was this (2012) ..... Unfortunately it appears this site is now gone, but there are more if you google.

Nice to cooperate with you about MUTIII diagnostic tool in the past

The price is USD565/set for car, USD645/set for car and truck
version is 2011

software download link is:

A quick google & I found one from China new for $495 USD & free shipping.

Thanks for the info :)

I also had one of those (from ebay link) and it always worked fine in my 380. Don't know what it was worth as I was given it by a coworker. Definately not as many interactive options as the mut3... but good enough for the price to display many other sensor readings from the engine.

OBD readers are absolutely useless on a 380.

Generic codes via google just doesn't work on a 380.

The cd manual slipstreams into the mut application and gives a complete diagnosis facility.

Of course anyone buying a MUT3 will need the specific model PINS....:)

Did you find what you need

Did you find what you need

Yes i did, thank you. The ELM327 scanner and Torque Pro works great, I am mainly using it as a dash cam now. But as Zilo kept saying it is not a replacement for a MUT3 scanner..

I ended up taking my 380 into Mitsubishi Elizabeth to be properly diagnosed and repaired.. Turns out my friend did not install the rear 3 coil packs correctly. This resulted in cylinders 1, 3, 5 misfiring, which then melted the pre-cat. Luckily that was the only damage, an only cost me 700$ to be fixed, plus 80$ for the tow.

Hmm, I missed this one thread. I got mine from totaltooldiagnostics.com. Australian based with local warranty and support and genuine elm327 instead of clones. Yes it cost a little more than eBay Chinese ones but well worth it. I too use torque pro with it.

Sorry to wake a sleeping thread, but I've suddenly taken an interest. lol

Looking to get some basic info out of the ECU on a 2011 Lancer and 2016 Outlander.

Any good?

No idea if these protocols apply to the above Mitsus:

• SAE J1850 VPW (10.4 kbaud)
• ISO 9141-2 (5 baud init, 10.4 kbaud)
• ISO 14230-4 KWP (5 baud init, 10.4 kbaud)
• ISO 14230-4 KWP (fast init, 10.4 kbaud)
• ISO 15765-4 CAN (11 bit ID, 500 kbaud)
• ISO 15765-4 CAN (29 bit ID, 500 kbaud)
• ISO 15765-4 CAN (11 bit ID, 250 kbaud)
• ISO 15765-4 CAN (29 bit ID, 250 kbaud)

Is what I use for my Pajero with torque pro
