Used to retract the rear calliper pistons and
enable fitment of new brake pads.
Lotus Scan Tool T000T1418F
In order to provide for communication with the engine management system electronic control module, a
hand held electronic scanner 'Lotus Scan' (part number T000T1418F), may be plugged into a special 16
terminal harness connector socket, known as a Data Link Connector (DLC), located at the front of the passen-
ger footwell. Note that this tool may also be used on previous Elise models (excluding Exige '00 M.Y, 340R and
160 models).
Amongst the operations available using the 'Lotus Scan' tool are:
- Clear fault codes
- View fault codes/wheel speeds/valve activities
- Generate valve/motor activities
- Read EEPROM contents
- Read ECU identification
Operating instructions are provided with the tool.
Important Note
The power supply transformer is used for overnight charging of the printer, and also for powering the
Lotus Scan tool during software downloading from a PC (personal computer). For the software download
operation, the Scan tool requires a power supply from the mains via the transformer and an inverter. Two types
of inverter have been used; early kits used an adaptor lead to plug into the bottom end of the Scanner tool.
Later kits use an adaptor plug fitting into the top end of the scanner.
When charging the printer, it is most important that the inverter is NOT used, or damage to the
transformer may be caused. Incorrect connection is possible only with the early type adaptor lead, with which
extra care should be exercised.
