You may need to update the software. To scan the sprinter, go to scan, select European, and scroll down to sprinter (not MB). Then select your sprinter variant. 906 for NCV3 and 903-4-5 for T1N.

While looking for how to read emissions PIDs on the 802 I found this page, which may be of interest.

got it, was able to scan and read codes except 1. what exactly does the obdII section on the top left show you?

OBDII is the generic industry standard scan. For all OBDII vehicles this will result in reading the codes from the ECU, possibly other modules. So no special software or knowledge about the vehicle required. The sprinter, being a diesel, is not 100% OBDII compliant. So without the sprinter specific menu, you will get generic codes, no access to modules like the ABS/TCM. Also note that some codes will not report correctly in the generic OBDII section on the sprinter, as being not 100% compliant results in some code numbers meaning different things.

This post should be in one of the MD808 threads, or start a new thread.
Hope there's no objection to my resurrecting this thread!
I have UK spec 2001 313CDi Sprinter (14 pin diagnostic port) and having just acquired an MD802, connecting via a 14 pin adapter, lead I'm after some advice.
By experimenting with various options I can:
Read live data
Show the VIN
Read and erase codes from the engine control module
The scanner won't connect to any other modules.
Is that all I can expect?
I had expected that going to:
Scan > European > Sprinter V1.60 > 901.6 902.6 903.6 etc... > 14 pin. would enable the scanner to connect to all the vehicle's modules however it won't even connect to the engine control module on this setting.
Seems like it's only reading the generic OBDII stuff.

Many 14 pin adapters are missing the necessary wires. You may check for posts by Cheyenne on this topic.

Lead from Ali-Express arrived in around a week then it took me an hour or so to re-solder as per my Autel adaptor.

JSL,@billintomahawk - Did you wind up getting your 2002 well connected with the Autel Scanner? I'm on the cusp bw this and an icarsoft, but leaning heavily toward the Autel All Systems.
New owner of 2002 Freightliner.
Sorry for the late reply. I don't always read this forum.
Yes, my '02 connects up easily to my 802 All Systems and I can see codes, clear codes and see live data. My intention is to make a list of every data point I can see and then try to find the correct parameters for our '02-03 612 engine. Our air and fuel systems are similar but not the same as the 647 '04-06 engine. I am guessing that some of the values are very different
My plan is to start here on Scanners to make sure I am finding all the data points and then shift to the T1N specific forum with a request for help establishing correct parameters for the 612 engine.
Maybe the information is already available but I don't know where to look for it??
To make matters a little worse I have a Green Diesel Engineering tune. I don't completely know what that changes.
The company, when they were active, provided very little specific information.
Anyone please feel free to jump in.

I can verify that my MD802 can read the EGR status on my 2007 NCV3.
Therefore, I 'assume' it can do the same on a T1N.
Maybe PM Billintomahawk, who has a T1N, and ask him your question.
Don't forget to post again with an answer, positive or negative.

Looks like you have accessed your Sprinter through the OBD menu which is primarily designed for Petrol (Gas) engined vehicles.
Try accessing through the main scan menus, Europe then Sprinter (not Dodge, Chrysler, Freightliner or even Mercedes Benz) and then pick the correct model designation, eg 903 for T1N's, 906 for NCV3's.

The Autel Maxim802 has worked great for me so far. I would recommend it, has allowed me to zero in on a couple of sensor issues pretty quickly. You get 1 vechicle set with the purchase of the device (your pick), and audio all vehicle types ( by manufacture) are $10 each. Currrently mine is setup for Mercedes Sprinter and Toyota.
