obd2 scanners
 

Hi
I have a 1992 w124 220te which I am having problems with, to check the fault codes can I use a cheap obd2 can bus scanner (maxiscan or similar) with an interface cable (can bus to banana plug) or is it more complex than that?

I'm pretty sure you don't have a plug in for OBD. There should be a block with pins to test codes on that model and you will need to make your own tester. Here is a thread for a later model that is going to be real similar. Do a search on W124 diagnostics and you should find plenty of reading on the matter.

By the way, welcome aboard.
