1.  DC Power Supply Input Port   
2.  Vehicle Data Connector 
3.  Vehicle LED 
  Flashes green when communicating with the vehicle’s system 
IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the reprogramming device while this status 
light  is  on!  If  the  flash  reprogramming  procedure  is  interrupted  while  the 
vehicle’s  ECU  is  blank  or  only  partially  programmed,  the  module  may  be 
unrecoverable. 
4.  Connection LED   
  Illuminates  solid green  when  properly connected  with the display 
tablet via the USB cable 
  Illuminates solid  blue when  connected  with  the display  tablet  via

J2534 Reprogramming Capability 
The  J2534  ECU  Programming  Device  is  a  SAE  J2534-1  &  -2  compliant 
PassThru reprogramming 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 MaxiSys  display 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  display  tablet  unit  is  brought 
closer to the VCI unit.
