I'm new here, so I'm sure this message has probably been asked and
answered numerous times. Please forgive me if this is redundant.
Is there any chance at all that I could find out exactly what the
pin-out assignments are on the diagnostic port on a 99 Dakota? I've done
a lot of embedded programming and I've found that a lot of companies
simply use a 9600 baud 8N1 serial connection on diagnostic ports found
on everything from network routers all the way down to painfully simple
things like home appliances.
So, what I would like to do is find out if by chance the diagnostic port
on a 99 Dakota is just a serial connection to the onboard computer. If
so, I'd like to make a serial cable to connect a laptop computer to it
with a basic terminal program running so I can see the error codes
without having to take it to Autozone or a Dodge dealer.
