Success reading XDiavel 2016 but Reset issues

[Tamino]

Hi everyone,

My name is Jose, writing from Spain.

First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to JP for his incredible work and the impressive speed in sending me the license file. I received it almost instantly, which is greatly appreciated!

Regarding my experience with my XDiavel S 2016:

I have been able to connect and read the ECU information on the first try without any issues. However, when I attempted to perform the service resets, nothing happened (the progress bar appeared but stayed blank).

I am aware that there are some posts in the forum suggesting that it is not possible to perform resets on the XDiavel. However, I am convinced that it should be possible since the XDiavel shares the same Bosch ME17 ECU as other Diavel models that are supported.

I am almost certain that my current issue is hardware-related. I am currently using a basic cable with the CH340 chip, which I suspect has too much latency for writing commands. I have already ordered a higher-quality cable with the FTDI (FT232RL) chip to be able to set the latency to 1ms in Windows.

I will update the thread as soon as the new cable arrives to confirm if the FTDI chip solves the issue for the XDiavel.

Best regards,

Which version of melcodiag are you using ?

2.0.4.9

I have just ordered a VAG-COM 409.1 KKL interface equipped with the original FTDI FT232RL chip.

hope you can cancel your order , because the vag409.1 is only for kkl .
your bike use a can line which is supported by an elm only at the moment

Thanks for your quick response and for the warning! I will cancel the Amazon order right away.

Since you mentioned my bike uses a CAN line and requires an ELM interface, would you recommend an ELM327 with the PIC18F25K80 chip? Or is there a specific brand/model that you know works best for the XDiavel service reset?

This morning, when I took the bike, I checked the service menu and noticed that the Oil Service (15,000 km) had indeed been successfully reset. This confirms that my current hardware is working and capable of writing to the ECU.

Regarding the other services:

- Desmo Service: I understand this cannot be reset until the mileage counter actually reaches zero.
- Annual Service: This is my main issue. The service date has already passed, but the reset command is not working.

Since the cable is writing to the ECU correctly, what could be preventing the Annual Service from resetting even though the date has expired? Is there any specific condition or step I'm missing for this particular model?

are you sure of that ? that would confirm there is still a back up with the k line, which would be a new input to me.
can you send a screen shot of the main page of jpdiag when you are connected ?

when i read the rest of your message , it sems you are using melcodiag with a kkl cable which is impossible.
if you send me the report file , i can check and confirm to you then we'll try to find out for the other functions

Hi JP,

To keep you updated on the hardware:

Initially, I bought an ELM327 with the CH340 chip. I thought it wasn't working properly, so I returned it. Then, I ordered the KKL cable, but I managed to cancel it before it arrived after your warning that it wasn't valid for my bike's CAN line.

The reset was actually performed using the ELM327 with the CH340 chip, although I didn't realize at the time that it had been successful. My mistake.

Since I had to order an ELM327 again, this time I have purchased a higher quality one with the FTDI (FT232RL) chip. I wanted to see if this chip provides better stability or performance for the connection.

As soon as it arrives, I will run the tests and send you the report. Thanks again for your help!
