John - remove the plug from the frame so you can better handle it. remove those two grey clips from the plug. Then using a very smal screwdriver - pull gently the pin holder from the pin and pull the pin outside - i drawed a picture - hopefully it helps.
P.S. the bad thing that you have to stick your head and both hands beneath the dashboard to be able to do it as the cables on the car plug are soooo short

Thanks, I might have another go - I already shredded my finger on a sharp area yesterday! The pins seem square cross section on mine and it is difficult to get down the side even with a small screwdriver.
In reading all this is it safe to assume that if you have a Evoscan cable you do not need pin 15 ? In other posts it said that pin9 can be removed to prevent the ACD lights from flashing. I have no pin9 in my cable but yet the ACD is still flashing.
Pins 1,4,5,7,16 present on Evoscan cable. i would like to be able to stop the ABS and ACD lights from flashing full time when cable is connected.
Any ideas?

I have 2.5 and also evoscan cable from Hamish - although an older version but I did adjust the pin 1 on the car connector side - as per instruction posted by Hamish. Still no success in getting reasonable readings. The same happened to johnbanks - so I am trying to find out where is the problem.

I'm also starting to see that US evo may be different the Euro Evo's with AYC vs the ACD.. Can someone verify this. Moving the pin 1 to 15 really needed; to use ACD code reader and logging??
i just got my EvoScan cable, and my IX's ACD "Tarmac" and "ABS" both are flashing, and Ecuflash can't make connection. Any solution to that? And i might have the "Non-ABS" cable, is that why??

I connected pin 1 and 9 on the car OBD plug with a patch wire (1 and 9 are next to each other). This effectively connects the Tactrix L line to the AYC/ABS/ACD diagnostic line.
With the ignition on the ACD and ABS lights were flashing. For the ACD all three lights were flashing if a cable was connected, and just the Tarmac light flashing more quickly if a cable was not connected.
I then used Evoscan 2.4 to try to connect. It managed to connect to the AYC ECU and return an ECU code, but didn't successfully log anything other than 255 on all requests with the engine off. However, the three ACD lights stopped flashing so I know it was connected. The actuators and DTCs didn't make sense/work.
For the ABS ECU, it kept cycling through the init procedure but returned an ECU code.
I've not tried with the engine on as a load of bulls have escaped from the field next to my house
Has anyone got Evoscan ACD/AYC/ABS logging working on an Evo 7-9 using any of the available cables or is it still to be debugged?

I have exactly the same issue and results as mentionned by Jcsbank on my IX with a Tactrix 1.3U cable modified as per Hamish instructions (vehicle side pin 1 moved to pin15 - Tactrix side : pin 9 cutted)
using Evoscan 2.5
Hamish could you help - did you fix something about this on the 2.6 beta 6 ?
Thanks
Does anyone have a definitive answer if you can log or activate the ACD actuators with the tactrix 1.3 cable that does not have a pin 1? I will gladly move my pin 1 to pin 15 on the OBD port if someone knows if it works.
Does the 2.0 cable work?
