J2534 Programming Capability
The J2534 ECU Programming Device is a SAE J2534-1 & -2 compliant PassThru
programming interface device. Using the updated OEM software, it is capable of
replacing the existing software/firmware in the Electronic Control Units (ECU),
programming new ECUs and fixing software-controlled drivability issues and emission
issues.
Communication
The J2534 ECU programming device supports BT and USB communications. It can
transmit vehicle data to the tablet with or without a physical connection. The working
range of the transmitter through BT communication is 210 feet (about 70 m). A signal
lost due to moving out of range automatically restores itself when the tablet unit is
brought closer to the VCI unit.
Power Sources
The J2534 programming device can receive power from both of the following sources:
⚫ Vehicle Power
⚫ AC/DC Power Supply
Vehicle Power
The J2534 programming device operates on 12-volt vehicle power, which it receives
through the vehicle data connection port. The device powers on whenever it is
connected to an OBD II/EOBD compliant data link connector (DLC). For non OBD
II/EOBD compliant vehicles, the device can be powered from a cigarette lighter or other
suitable power port on the test vehicle using the auxiliary power cable.
AC/DC Power Supply
The J2534 programming device can be powered from a wall socket using the AC/DC
power adapter.
