Hello guys
just would like to ask if any of you (or somebody you know) have figured out a way of improvising the analyser equipment used to read data from the ECU/ECM. I mean, if you are able to develop a computer software (and hardware) to extract the data coming from the ALDL port. Hope you can share . I would like to check first this possibility before i send my Espero to a Daewoo shop and spend big bucks just for one-time scan. Many thanks!

If it uses the old style 10pin ALDL I think you should be able to extract any fault codes with the paper clip method. On my Lanos I bridge pins A+B and turn on ignition and count the CEL flashes. Although I would first check to make sure the Espero is a similar method as you don't want to fry the ecu by bridging the wrong terminals.
Thanks Turtle Wax
i already did that fault code extraction with the shorting of the teminals and counting the CEL flashes,
what i want to check now is the actual reading of all sensors, which i can only get if i have an analyzer. or something that i can interface with the "serial data" pin on the ECU.
i already got a copy of the software (daewoo.exe). I just haven't tried because i don't have he hardware to connect my laptop to the ECU.
Hope we get more replies...

Hi KING 3,
Hardware seems to be the easy task but I'm totally unable to make software talking to car.

And you can Google "ALDL" for lot more informations. There is somewhere a "two transistors" circuit.
