2001 Mercruiser 5.7 EFI/TBI Scan Tool

I saw this on another forum at some point. Trying to determine if if the connector I have is capable as a scanner hook up. Additionally, someone posted a cheaper alternative to buying the actual scan tool.

Not sure what you can actually get off the ECU scanning that old of a motor. You can call Rinda and ask them.

I own the Rinda Diacam. Well worth the money for my use case.

I'm not sure as well...hoping something!! If not, I'll go about fixing it the old fashioned way.

That diagram reminds me of what you had to do to pull codes from the EFI system on a late 80s Toyota....paper clip trick and turn on ignition, the check engine light would blink out a code, that was what you got!

That is a MEFI (1 to 4) connector and while there are not many codes can be read, if there is one it can be done as your pic shows. Use a 12V resistor LED or a voltmeter with a tone function
