is a description how to build the connection cable.When you buy the ttl converter have a look that it is a 5V one.When I worked only on my car, I splitted the cables and soldered my own three pin Pre amp sockets to it(you may take every 3 pin connectors).You will not damage the ecu if the cables are changed, just change them to a different position but with the description you should do it well.

3D printing one would be fine. I've seen automotive connector housings printed before. I wouldn't use them but for a diagnostic plug it would be fine. You don't need a CAD file, just measure the socket on the car. There are probably measurements available anyway.

 

Almost a month has gone by. I have meanwhile made an adapter cable with three individual pins and a serial-to-USB adapter on the other side. Before investing time in making a 3D-printed connector for these pins I first want to verify that the USB adapter and the online analysis tool work. I found the memsfcr website with its online "web memsfcr" tool & dashboard. However, it does not seem to "see" my USB adapter. My laptop, running Ubuntu OS, does see that the USB adapter is plugged in. I will contact that website owner, and do some more debugging myself.

A solution could be to install wine on your linux system.Download one of the windows diagnostic programs and run them with wine.
