OBD2 Diagnostic Tools

One of obdii365 customer bought the GM Tech2 Scanner and the TIS2000 software CD. He sent an email to our customer service that the GM TIS2000 software did not Run In xp Mode On Win7.

Problem:

“I use a GM Tech II diagnostic tool or a gm MDI to attach it to the truck, its on a cd / dvd, its a program i got on-line to reprogram GM BCMS in my truck. my problem is I can load 2007 software [its called ”TIS2000] into my computer [it only runs on a ”win xp” machine”][yes it won’t run in xp mode on a win7 machine],but I need the update to 3/2008 or 8/2008,to get it to see my vin#, so I can add power adj pedals[and some other options, I can’t get the 3/2008 to load. ”

Obdii365.com Engineers Solution: Depending on your computer hardware, you could install XP and your app in a Virtual Machine (VM) from Windows 7. Once installed and configured, you would boot your computer like normal and start XP in a window.

VMware makes Virtual Machine software called Workstation v10. They have a trial, but expect money at some point. The second best option for VM software is called VirtualBox from Sun. It is free! You would just need a compatible computer, a copy of Windows XP and time to learn the ropes and get your XP Virtual Machine (VM) up and running. Learning how to use it is a one-time thing and at that point you’ll be familiar with VM software in general. That is a huge benefit to have as a computer user.

At that point you would meet the requirements of the GM Tech 2 software and would install TIS2000 within the VM and use the virtual com/serial port to connect to your computer serial port (or USB).

Here is the customer solution to the BMW INPA K+DCAN USB cable UBatt and Ignition black always black issue.

So, got my self a high quality INPA K+DCAN Interface from China. Interface looks very well designed and has a nice PCB, all components soldered properly on the board.

Installed BMW Standard Tools 2.12 as per instructions of our friend Bimmer with all software he provided in his thread.

While connecting and testing the interface I found the UBatt and Ignition dots were always black. Interface connected to OBD2 or not.

Decided to try to fix this and started to read. Found that RI from TTL-USB converter is used to indicate UBatt and DSR/DTR is used to indicate Ignition ON.

Traced back the tracks from OBD2 pin 1 and found 2 resistors mounted on the board as voltage dividers. However the values and connections were as: Pin 1 -> 1K -> 47K -> GND.

These were not the proper values to get ~5V at the junction between both resistors. Changed them to 47K and 22K. That solved the Ignition ON indication problem. See picture “Ignition.jpg” resistors R5 & R6.

Then moved on to the UBatt problem. Seems the RI pin on the FTD232RL is directly connected to GND on the board. That is why the UBatt dot is always black.

So, I lifted the pin (UBatt_1.jpg) and used a transistor BC547/1K/10K as inverter to pull this pin to GND if the interface gets +12V on pin 16 of the OBD2 connector (UBatt_2.jpg).

Now both indications work as intended.

You can easily find out if it is the K+DCAN interface or soft setup the reason for the black dots.

Just start Inpa software without the interface connected to the OBD2 in the car or the USB. Dots should not be black. Must say that I have not found any entry yet in Ediabas.ini which will cause the dots to be black without an interface connected. There are entries to instruct EDIABAS to flag an error or not if the Ubatt/Ignition are not sensed by the soft.

I expect the software requires the info that power and ignition is on, hence the option to have the error detection ON or OFF in Ediabas.ini.

I’m not an expert in BMW, but for Mercedes the software instructs to switch ignition OFF at a certain moment, detects that and starts a timer. After the timer expires the instruction is given to switch Ignition ON, detects that and the program continues. Expect BMW soft has similar functions like that. May be some one more experienced in BMW diagnose can shed some light on this.

Please find my handmade sketch for the circuit attached. Blue: existing components on board Red: new components to be added Green: wires to be soldered

Transistor can be any low power NPN type.

I expect that the circuit also will work without the transistor, but then the RI pin must be inverted in the FT chip configuration with Mprog and the junction of both resistors connected to the RI pin. How ever, I did not test this yet.

The modification is not required to communicate with the car. I did diagnose an E46 succesfully before these mods. If yours does not communicate with your car then check: – if you have 20pin connector at engine bay. If so, you should use that one for diag and not the OBD2. – If you can get data from engine ECU but not from other controller then you should bridge pin 7&8 in the interface. – if ediabas.ini is set to std:obd – if the right port is set in ediabas.ini (expect this is correct) – if port latency is set to 1 in system hardware

If all is set ok and you are at the right diag connection at your car then download Free Serial Port Monitor to see what is going on between PC-interface-Car. You can actually see the requests and replies. This free software also shows you the status of the RI and DTS/CTS signals, very handy while testing with the resistors and transistor.

One of customers sent an email to obdii365.com customer to report that he has a question that no option to program the SAM using offline programming with MB SD Connect C4 multiplexer and Xentry 12/2015 fail to do. Here is the proper solution provided by our technician.

Customer testing vehicle and MB star diagnostic version：

2005 ML350 4Matic

MB SD C4+ Dell D630 laptop+ 2015.12V DAS/Xentry

Problems Description: Problem one: Problem with the front SAM, when select Yes the next screen goes to online programming. There is no option to program the SAM using offline programming. At least I couldn’t find it. The starter doesn’t even crank.

Problem two: Secondary problem is the ISM. The original module generated a message on display: “Drive to workshop without changing gear”. The transmission now is stuck in Park. I installed another identical module from another ML350 and the message is gone but there is no reaction when changing the shifter from park to other positions. I get a message to depress the brake even when the brake pedal is depressed. Also, when I go to the Developer option I get the message the file is missing, see photo. So, I have two serious problems to deal with. I’m looking forward to your feedback.

Obdii365.com Engineers reply and solution way：

Please can not use ISM from other car,..use brand new,..marry it to the vehicle and you will probably start the engine. Then program front sam online,..or if you don’t have online access,..pass this step,..it has program inside it generally.///code it manually according your car,..and if still has SAM errors,..probably could change it with new one! Neither ISM neither SAM need online or offline,..they always can be initially startup manually with DAS

As for the question “I don’t know why when I accessed the front SAM with DAS it gave me a message saying that the SAM needs to be programmed. See the attached photos. It is not my imagination. This is what I got when trying to read the fault codes from the front SAM.” I guess: probably your sam is almost dead.//put other one used..or new one

Here is obdii365.com customer DIY guide to make Vagcom Cable 409.1 modified to work with BMW INPA / SSS / ISTA-D / ISTA-P / DIS diagnostic software.

Note: This requires Good soldering skills and understanding. We are not responsible for the damage.

Standard 16-pin OBD PIN Please follow The Following steps: 1. First get a USB Vag 409 / vag-com 409.1 KKL cable (it is an old cable), ask the seller if it: has a FTDI FT232RL chip (FT232BM gold FT232BL Chips aussi work, but needs a bit more work). The FTDI chip supports software mods. 2. Download the driver http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%...tified.zip I prefer the driver 2.10.00 as the it-have newer drivers Given problems in some cases. Now unpack it, connect the cable, and installed with this driver.

3. Go To the advanced COM port settings and set for Com 9 if you are schedule to use BMW ICOM ISTA ISTA-D-P or whatever else you set the settings for Ediabas com. Also set to 1ms latency.

4. Open your vag cable casing and what you'll need to do is put a micro switch entre pins 7 and 8, so pin 7 and 8 pin can be shorted to be enabled for 09/2001 - 09/2006 cars, and disabled for newer cars, if you are only using the cable was older vehicle only you can bridge the connection by soldering together gold Then just leave em unconnected for newer vehicles.

5. These are the K lines on older vehicles, Otherwise you will not be ble to access to all modules of the car.

6. Now download MProg 3.5 http://www.ftdichip.com/Resources/Utilit...rog3.5.zip

7. If you do not want to do further Top Any soldering (RL Chip) you can run MProg, Otherwise jump to step 9. (If you-have a BM / BL chip please do step 8 And Then come back to this step) a. Go to Tools Menu -> Read and Parse Invert RI # and DSR # signals to fool the detection of battery and ignition, in order to be reliable to fool the software into thinking battery and ignition is fine. B. I / O Controls settings: # C0 = RXLED # C1 = TXLED # C2 = POWERON # C3 = PWRON # C4 = SLEEP

c. After making your changes: "Save Template as" (floppy green button, or File-> Save as ..) d. Program cable with the new settings: "Program" (Lightning button, or Device -> Program) e. These Settings are saved on the chip, so won't-have to be set every time. F. Cable aught to work now.

8. Do not do this step if you are going to go for real ingnition and battery option. If your vagcom comes with FT232BM / BL chip, you only need to do this extra work. Pin 17 is GND pin 18 is RI pin 20 is DSR So you need to solder pins 17,18 and 20 of the FTDI chip (this Applies to the BL and BM) like this.

BM and RL Chip Pinout

9. If you want some REAL battery and ignition detection, you will need The Following (For RL Chip) 1 x 4.7k ohm resistor 1 x 100k resistor (Higher is better) 1 x BC547B Transistor

10. For RL Only, Bridge PIN6 RI # Pin7 and GND, Then Pin9 DSR # BC547 is soldered to the leg with 4.7Kohm resistor, qui est in turn soldered to the second solder points on the cable side as in picture bellow, the middle leg of the transistor you connect inline with the 100k resistor to pin 1 of the odb the plug, and l'autre leg of the transistor is connected directly to pin 6 on the main pc board That connects to the odb connector. For RL chip you can now go to step 14.

RL Chip Pinout

(For BL / BM Chip) 1 x 100k resistor (Higher is better) 1 x BC547B Transistor

11. Bridge pins 17 and 18 of the FTDI (RL) chip - this will form a basis for the next step Then take the transistor, cut the legs So They are about 1cm long and the outer bend down and two together so there is about a 2mm gap entre em. Use the iron to dab a bit of solder on To Each of the three legs as peak bellow.

12. Now solder leg (E) to the bridged pins 17 and 18. If you've prepped well this will be simply a case of holding the transister Against the top of the FDTL chip, lining up the leg and dabbing it with the iron , Then check if the C leg is sitting over 20 pine (pine has there shoulds be That You AVOID entre les That Were two bridged). If it is not, bend it so it sits over it (Pin 20) And Then dab it with the iron. The solder That You put on the leg before shoulds be enough to get 'em to join. Keep going up to They Are stuck together.

13. Now take the resistor and one leg short cut (about 1.5cm). Then settle this leg to the middle 'B' pin of the transistor (the only one now not connected), Then bend the resistor so l'autre leg sits Against the back of pin 1 of the odb connector. and solder That one too.

14. Now Close the cover and you can now use the cable. (Remember if the DI # DSR # is inverted on the chips this software is not going to work).

If this does not work just check That You do not-have a fake chip, on the real chip is the writing etched into the chip, and the fake is only printed on.

Vpecker Easydiag Wireless scanner tested feedback list as follows, the users tend to compare vpecker easydiag scanner with launch idiag when test some car models, read details as follows. 1. vpecker scanner VS Launch X431 idiag A) Test Mazda 6 GH 2.0 diesel 2008 year – vpecker scanner VS launch idiag I have tested and compared today vpecker scanner and launch idiag on Mazda 6 GH 2.0 diesel 2008 year. To be onest launch have a lot more options on that car then vpecker, for example on engine it can only read few parameters and it can read and clear trouble codes thats it nothing else on engine not even dpf regeneration,idiag have a looot more to offer for that car.

vpecker scanner can do more with special functions its for Toyota,Honda,Scion.

vpecker scanner is original interface and software price is ok for it.

there a lot of brands that is working until 2013,launch is working for all cars until 2015.

vpecker is good becuause it is even more faster then launch and original for good price, but not even close to delphi or launch because of the functions that it cannot do.

Language: And one more thing,for example there is no Croatian or Serbian Language on vpecker. Vpecker is only available with language Italian, Chinese (Simplified), English, Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, German, Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Hungarian, Korean, Czech, Arabic, Indonesian, Persian, Thai, Vietnamese, Finnish, Swedish, Romanian, Bosnian, etc. Compare with VDM UCANDAS which need to customize language, it is easer to reset the language you want.

B) Tested on Kia Cerato petrol- vpecker scanner VS launch idiag I tested on Kia Cerato petrol,and finally some result, it haves options like launch idiag only one function is not there and that is brake fluid bleeding,all the rest functions are the same.

4. Vpecker vs Delphi DS150e on function DPF regens Vpecker does DPF regens easily. My DS150e can’t even do that although it is listed as one of it’s functions. Even with DieselMax installed I couldn’t force a DPF regen on any VWs or BMWs.

FAQ: license failed, how to do? Did you register? if not go to register firstly. If you have registered, what is your computer operation system? VPECKER works fine with win7.

If you have activated thru email etc, the reason you get this error: You may write uppercase”VW” as lowcase “vw” then get error “license fail”. Here is the solution, please follow the steps: step 1: download the “WIFI_CONFI_VW15080075.exe1″ file step 2: rename “WIFI_CONFI_VW15080075.exe1″ to “WIFI_CONFI_VW15080075.exe” step 3: make sure your PC wifi connect the Vpecker step 4: run the “WIFI_CONFI_VW15080075.exe” step 5: click “WIFI CONFIG” button step 6: when display “CONFIG WIFI SUCCESS”, the Vpecker WIFI SSID will change to “VW15080075″

Solution: just download VPECKER V6.4 software at offical site: http://www.vpecker.com/vpecker-software-download/ it can solve the problem of uppercase”VW” and lowcase “vw”.

I recently replaced my Brake pads on a 04 E60 and needed to reset the Idrive Information I did some google searchers and found the following information. There are two way to do it: use ENET EasyCoding scanner to customize the settings in iDrive or manually reset it. The BMW EasyCoding OBD2 scan tool is 400 more dollars, thought I would just do it manually.

I tried the solution on my E60 and it worked great. I am thinking that other models with Idrive will work the same way, so I would like to share it here and hope it helps anyone.

Firstly turn on the ignition, set the odometer trip meter back to zero by pushing it once. Then switch the ignition back off again. (Do follow this step, otherwise you could not get to the “Service” menu).

Now let us do the resetting:

1. Switch the ignition on (so that the battery, Oil and Parking brake lights are displayed) and the key is ready to start the engine – but don’t actually start the car.

1. Press the odometer reset button for between 5 and 10 seconds until a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the centre appears in the top window between the clocks (where the outside temperature / time or date normally appears) – this is the “Service” icon.

1. Release the odometer button briefly and press again straight away which brings up a picture of the Brake Fluid symbol (same as the one that the i-drive shows when you look at the Service menu).

1. If you want to reset the Brake Fluid interval for another 2 years then keep holding the odometer button until the word “RESET?” appears at the bottom of the lower window.

1. Release the button briefly and push it in again and hold for about 5 – 10 seconds until the new date appears in the bottom window. You can then switch the ignition off and the new Brake Fluid date will appear in the service menu on the i-drive screen next time you switch on.

1. If you want to reset the Oil, Microfilter or Brake Pad indicators then you will need to follow the same sequence as steps 1 and 2 above, but when you get to step 3 and the brake Fluid icon appears, just release the button and press again and the next service item will appear.

1. You can continue releasing and pressing the button until the required service item icon appears for the one you want to reset. Once it does then hold in the button in until the word “RESET?” appears again as in step 4 above. Once the word “RESET?” has appeared, you need to release the button briefly and hold it in again for about 5 – 10 seconds until it is replaced by the new service interval figure (as per step 5 above).
