2017 Diavel 1200 (Diesel) some connection but no VIN

Post by HighPSI »

Hi all. I am having dificulty connecting to my Diavel. I am using a USB ELM327 Described as this:

"ELM327 OBD2 USB Adapter, Diagnostic Coding Tool with MS-CAN/HS-CAN Switch Compatible with Ford F150 F250 Lincoln Mazda Mercury Code Reader Vehicle Diagnosis on Windows with V1.5 PIC18F25K80 Chip"

along with the 4 pin connector with correct pinout. When I select "any bike", there is not much reaction. Then I get asked 2011 or 2012. Not much either way.

When I select M3C, M3D, etc., The fuel pump cycles on connect, disconnect, pushing active test buttons, etc., It detects 3 different ECU's (no luck accessing codes), but I never get much information for the debug file. VIN is never read at all.

Where should I go from here? Let me know if I can supply different debug info. Any help appreciated :)

Debug file:


"File generated On 2025-08-03 10:35:04 AM"
"Software version 2.0.4.6"
"ELM version : ELM327 v1.5"

"Auto Detect Bike = "
"User Bike = 2017 Diavel 1200 Diesel"

"CAN Bike = "

"DesmoService = NO"

Update:

I used an OBDLINK MX+ via bluetooth. Any bike, 38400 baud, and was able to get the VIN.

I've requested a license.

Just a note, sometimes at 9600, 38.4, or 57.6, I got "5" for "Software Version" instead of the 12000000. Not sure if that is significant to you, JP.
