How to solve VXDIAG Nano error "won’t connect to GM Corvette C6"?

Car model:GM Corvette C6

Device:VXDIAG Nano with USB cable not Wifi

Error:
Won’t connect to the car
Can’t get the licensee to load

How to solve?
Problem with WI-Fi unit, is that the Nano needs to be connected to the car so the nano has power to begin with. Also, OBDII port needs to be powered up, so on a C5, car has to be in run postion before the OBDII has power itself.

Because of that, even on the Wifi unit I have, I still use it with a cable so the laptop powers up the nano to begin with, and don’t have to worry about the OBDII power instead..

When you load it make sure you run the installed updates from tech2win.


You also cant use a 64bit OS system it has to to be a 32bit device. The newer units (if bought on amazon) are 32bit and cant run from a Vm image that is 32bit OS.

I had the same issue. I pulled out a old laptop and installed win10 32bit and ran the updated add-ons from tech2win.

Load VX manager first, plug in the Nano, and get it working in VX manager. Hence click on firmware icon to update the firmware, then click on licence icon to install the licenses.


Now with the VX manager open and the nano plugged in, now load that auto install.exe of Tech2 win to load it from the White disc that came with the Nano to your machine. Hence the autoinstall.exe will need to over ride some VX manager files when it installs, so VX manager has to be open with the Nano connected/being seen in VX manager when you load tech2 win auto install from the disc. Installing tech2 win, with VX manager not open and the nano not plugged into the machine will end up with install problems every time with Win 64bit system.


Lastly, if you are loading in the Newer VX manager, you have to go in and install the needed programs from inside VX manager (no long load into VX manger from the white disc). So Tech2, GDS2 and SPS have to be installed from within VX manager. If you check in VX manager and these are loaded already, uninstall and reload them from VX manager again if you are having problems. When you have done these three reloads, go back in the licence tab in VX manager and make sure you are showing licences for all three of these. If not, then go back to the main page and click on the licence ion to update the licences on the refreshed installed. I bring this up, since if you are using the last right hand top tab in VX manager to download the lastest VX manager, you will have to install Tech2win/gds2/SPS from within VX manager (will still use the white disc to install Tech2win to the laptop to get the the desk top icon.


Now the glitch with A/C Delco TBS.
If you are using the older VX manager and older firmware on the Nano, when you get the screen to install the BoschTech2 win driver and GDS2 in TBS (will be a pop up screen), you want to skip these installs each time you use TBS.

If you are using the latest VX manager and latest Nano firmware, then you want to install these two Bosch drivers from TBS instead.

Trust is, for TBS now, you want to be using the latest VX manager and firmware. When you load the two Bosch drivers, it going to to load another program that is needed to get the Nano to work (TBS changed about a year ago, and its this third driver that loads with the Bosch drivers that is needed to get the Nano to work with the system.

How to use Yanhua ACDP to renew BMW CAS2?

Question:Hey on BMW cas 2 to write data can I solder directly to the board since I don’t have adapter?

My purpose is to renew cas.

Look the image 1 ofACDPoption and the pinout:

 

Yanhua ACDP chief engineer replied:

You can read the CAS2 data by insertingACDP MINIto the car’s OBD2 port.

If the CAS2 is dismantled, please buy one extra ACDP module 1 inside there is one BDM-ICP adapter, use it to read out the CAS2 data and to renew.

2015 F550 ABS Service Bleed With VCMII Or Forscan Or Autel?

Car model and year: 2015 Ford F550

Purpose:

I replaced the calipers/pads/rotors on all 4 wheels and tried to bleed the system (didn't go so well).

Front brakes seems to work fine -- press on the pedal, pads squeeze.

Rear brakes aren't getting any brake fluid.

Disconnected the brake line before the splitter on the rear axle -- no brake fluid comes out when stepping on brake.

I thought maybe the line was clogged or broken (nothing dripping). Disconnected the rear brake line as it comes out of the ABS controller and blew it clear (seems okay).

Stepped on the brake pedal and fluid comes out of the port on the abs (not very high pressure, but comes out).

Reconnected the line at the ABS block and still no fluid comes out at the rear of the line before it connects to the splitter.

Disconnected the output of the brake master cylinder and pressed on the brake pedal and plenty of pressure there.

 

Using experience:

1. Forscan + ELM32/ODB2 USB cable: failed

To bleed the system you need to have a laptop, Forscan and an ODB2 cable. This will allow you to open the ABS valves for the front and rear to get rid of any trapped air. The idea is to have the ABS system open when you are bleeding it.

 

I ordered an ELM32/ODB2 USB cable and downloaded Forscan

 

2. Ford VCM2: Confirmed

Distinguished Diesel has given you the correct information. I'm also certain there are no service procedures available in ForScan to ABS bleed the brakes on your 2015. Many have asked ForScan for this functionality to be added for the 11-16 super duties but they have not implemented it yet.

There are other tools such as Autel MaxiCheck Pro that have this functionality or alternatively you can take it to a shop which has IDS or the new VCM2 Ford tools to do the service bleed. I have a Motive Products pressure bleeder that attaches to the master cylinder which has been great for my needs.

 

Advice:

Blowing compressed air into an ABS unit is not something I would ever do, the unit can handle over 2,000psi, but the air is the enemy.

Once vehicles had three or four-channel ABS, Superdutys MY2000, there was no need to incorporate any manual proportioning valve. The proportioning of the rear brakes is done dynamically when the ABS cannot control the wheel skid effectively, which is a minor incidence. Rather than repetitively opening and closing the valving, dumping pressure into the accumulator and reapplying pressure with the pump, it just dumps and holds a reduced amount. There is no special valving for reduced pressure in the sense of the older proportioning valves, pre MY2000.

Any air in an ABS unit can be a devil to get out. If the air has filled the accumulator and surrounds the valves, it can exceed the volume capability of a single pedal to floor pump, releasing the brake pedal just pulls the fluid back into the master, creating a never-ending story. It's usually just bad if you have done a multi-caliper brake job and let the master cylinder reservoir drain, and can take the specialized software to get the ABS to become active, or the very long process of bleeding as best as one can, causing low-speed wheel skids on dirt, then re-bleeding over and over to fully clear the brake hydraulics over several hours. Blowing air into the ABS becomes medieval.

Pulling the fuse is the equivalent of the key-off. It does nothing.

www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/IDS/Vehicle_Measurement_System/Vehicle_Measurement_System_v1.1.1034.0.exe

Click here for VMS Manual

 

After Installing: Diagnostic Software Updates will pop up on Mondays and Thursdays when available.

1. VCI firmware what's new - contain details on this new software.

IMPORTANT: Changes to VCM II and VCMM

VCM II & VCMM Device Software ("VCI Software”)

VCI Software

• Previously, installing IDS or FDRS would install everything that is needed in order to use a VCM II/VCMM with any of the Ford diagnostic software (IDS, FDRS & VMS).There is now a new package separate from
• IDS and FDRS, called VCI Software.
• This VCI Software package WILL NEED to be downloaded in order to use your VCM II or VCMM, regardless of whether this is the first time you have downloaded IDS/FDRS.
• This will improve download and installation time, as previously you were downloading and installing these components with BOTH IDS and FDRS.
• You WILL NOT need to download and install this package every release, only when there is an update to the loaded code on the device.

 

VCI Launcher

When launching the VCI Manager, you will be prompted to select which device (VCM II or VCMM) you intend to use.

Only the devices of the selected type will appear in the VCI Manager. If you wish to switch device type, you will have to close the VCI Manager and select the other device.

Note: If the device is already connected via USB, you will bypass the selection screen.

Figure 1: The VCI Launcher desktop icon

 

Figure 2: The main screen of the VCI Launcher

 

Figure 3: A side-by-side comparison showing the VCM II Manger and the VCMM Manager

 

Changes to IDS

• IDS now requires you to select your device type at the launch of IDS.
• If you wish to switch devices while in IDS, you need to navigate to what was previously the Wireless device manager (the green arrows in the upper right hand corner), select the button at the bottom left which says "VCI Type” and select which device you wish to use. You can do this at any time while in the IDS tool.
• Note: It is recommended if you previously pinned IDS to the task bar, that you unpin it in R115, and then re-pin it while on the device selection screen.

 

Figure 4: The device selection screen when launching IDS.

 

Figure 5: The new device manager screen. Note the icon in the top right, the VCI Type button in the bottom left, and the VCI Launcher selection window.

 

VCI Software Uninstaller

• There is now a new component included in the VCI Software package called VCI Software Uninstaller.
• This gives you the ability to uninstall all Ford Diagnostic components (IDS, FDRS, VMS, CFR, and VCI Software) from one central location, rather than having to uninstall each component individually.
• This uninstaller can be accessed by going to StartFord Motor CompanyVCI Software Uninstaller. After following the prompts, you can select which software applications you wish to uninstall.
• Note: If you are removing all components, it is recommended you select "Remove Uninstaller Data” to remove successfully all Ford components from the PC.

How to Retrofit Cruise Control of Porsche 996 2002 - 2005?

Car model and year:

2002 - 2005 Porsche 996 that had the OBC but not cruise control.

Pre 2002 the wiring is very different t…it needs to be fed to the DME in the rear of the car rather than the instrument cluster (It’s MY2001 onwards I believe).

Time to use:

From start to finish it took me around 3 hours.

This included reading my instructions, re-reading my instructions, taking pictures and taking my time. I also haven’t factored in the time for coding the DME once the work has been completed.

 

The list below is a high level grouping of what I did, and the order I did it.

 

- Find and buy all the parts…know exactly what you’re doing with each

- Remove the instrument cluster

- Remove the steering wheel

- Remove the old stalk unit

- Clean the now-visible parts of the dashboard (you find a lot of dust and dirt)

- Put together the wiring

- Fit the new stalk unit

- Wire up the new stalk unit to the instrument cluster

- Re-fit the steering wheel

- Re-fit the instrument cluster

- Connecting the new stalk unit to the fuse-box

- Coding the DME

Step 1 – What you’ll need to buy

All parts and prices were correct as of September 2016 and were purchased from OPC Bournemouth and Breeze VW Poole.

 

Part Name: 4-Stalk cluster (Indicators, Wipers, OBC, Cruise)

Part Number: 996-613-219-10 EWC

Quantity: 1

Price: £202 (£168.97 + VAT)

 

Part Name: Cruise control cap for stalk cluster

Part Number: 9

Quantity: 1

Price: £4.70

 

Part Name: Wiper/Cruise stalk cluster grommet

Part Number: 9

Quantity: 1

Price: £9.97

 

Part Name: Cruise stalk cluster wiring connector

Part Number: 999-650-512-40

Quantity: 1

Price: £0.07p

 

Part Name: VW repair wires (Yup from VW)

Part Number: 000-979-009 EA

Quantity: 4

Price: £20.16 (£5.04 each)

 

Part Name: 22-gauge wire

Quantity: 1m

 

Part Name: Snap-Lock connectors

Quantity: 2

Price: £2.39 for 10 from Maplin

 

DME coding by OPC: £66

 

Total price for the project: £305.29 (£239.29 if you can do the coding yourself)

 

You’ll need to have the following tools:

- 24mm socket

- T30 torx

- T20 torx

- T10 torx

- Philips screwdriver

- Blunt knife

- Wire cutters

 

[So here’s the picture of all the part’s (excluding the 1m wire)

 

And here’s a close up of each part:

 

The 4-Stalk cluster (Indicators, Wipers, OBC, Cruise). You’ll notice it doesn’t come with the cruise cap or the wiper cap so you can transfer the wiper crap from your old stalk cluster.

 

Cruise control cap for stalk cluster.

 

Wiper/Cruise stalk cluster grommet. If you don’t want to buy the grommet, when you take the old one out you’ll see there is a square mark you can cut along…saves a few quid.

Cruise stalk cluster wiring connector.

VW repair wires – They will generally have these in stock as they’re a fairly common part.

 

Snap-Lock connectors from Maplin.

 

Step 2 – Removal of the Instrument Cluster

 

Before you begin make sure you disconnect the battery and leave it at least 15-20 min to ensure the airbag’s have completely disengaged. Put the key in the ignition and turn it all the way but do not start the engine, then disconnect the battery. This will prevent the alarm from sounding. Leave the key in the ignition until you have finished and are ready to re-connect the battery. It’s also worth mentioning and may seem like common sense but leave the frunk open otherwise you lock yourself out of the battery and it’s a faff to get back in.

 

To remove the instrument cluster there are two torx screws you need to undo. One is behind the microphone on the right and the other is behind the hazard light on the left.

 

If you use a blunt knife (with a microfiber cloth under so you don’t damage the dash) you should be able to lift the microphone out and you’ll see the screw at the back. Don’t worry if the screw falls, there is enough stuff to stop it disappearing into the cluster. I believe these screws were the T20 torx screws.

 

Push the hazard light button in so it pops out and you can then pull the button out of its housing. Then you should be able to remove the button surround, there are two clips inside the surround you need to push in when pulling it out.

 

Once you’ve removed the hazard light and surround you’ll see the torx screw in the bottom left corner:

 

Once you’ve undone the two screws just lift the instrument cluster upwards. You may need to use a little force (not too much) and give it a slight wiggle. It’s also at this point you’ll find any missing parking tickets…I found a valet parking ticket for the Lanesborough hotel (from the cars previous owner unfortunately).

 

Once it’s free you’ll find 3 coloured plugs in the back, green, blue and gray. You’ll also find a connection for the hazard switch and the microphone. You only need to unplug the green, blue and gray connectors as well as the microphone…leave the hazard plug in.

 

Here you can see the green and blue cables and in-between them the microphone connector.

 

These disconnect by pushing in the clip in the middle and then sliding the black bar all the way to the top. Click the bar in place at the top and the connector will pop out.

 

Put some cloths or sheets across the dash and swivel the instrument cluster across and out of the way.

 

The gray connector is the only one we’ll be working with.

 

 

Step 3 – Removal of the steering wheel

 

We firstly need to remove the center piece of the steering wheel, the airbag and horn. On the back of the wheel just in front of the stalks you’ll find two holes with spring-loaded screws. These are T30 torx screws and when undone should not come out.

 

You should be able to lift the air bag out carefully. At this point I rested it on my knee and with the blunt knife carefully lifted the yellow connector out. Place the airbag unit to one side with the Porsche crest facing upwards.

Disconnect the two spade connectors you’ll see on the next picture.

 

Draw a line with a marker pen down the center nut to mark its position. This is to make sure when you put it back together it goes back in the same place.

 

Using a 24mm socket undo the wheel nut. You will find the steering wheel wants to turn so carefully hold it in place with one hand whilst you undo it (You’ll notice at this point I hadn’t undone the two spade connectors).

 

This should be the current state of your dash.

 

 

Tape the clock-spring connector unit to stop it moving around. Be careful of the two plastic prongs, if you snap these it’s an expensive part to replace. Undo the 4 screws and remove the faceplate. You can also undo the two screws securing the clock-spring connector unit at this point or wait until after removing the steering column panels.

 

 

Here’s a helpful video for removal of the steering wheel to make some of that a bit clearer (it’s not my video).

https://youtu.be/hux78ZoPcAI

 

Step 4 – Removing the stalk cluster

Remove the two small T10 torx screws on either side of the steering column.

 

Lift the top away first and put it to one side.

 

Now start to remove the rubber grommets that the indicator and wiper stalks feed through. You’ll more than likely need to move the indicator down and the OBC (if you have it) up to pull it off.

 

Once both grommets are off you can remove the lower panel.

 

Measure the position of your current stalk cluster to the end of the steering shaft. It should be 55mm. Mark this position on the shaft as we’ll need to put the new stalk cluster at the same point. Now loosen the bolt you can see in the image below, don’t undo it fully.

 

Disconnect the two large connectors either side of the stalk cluster and then remove the stalk cluster from the steering shaft.

 

This is one of the large connectors.

 

If you have the OBC you’ll find a smaller additional connector you need to undo. It may be housed in the small black clips you can see in the background of the image below.

 

I found this clip a real pain to undo. Use your blunt knife to stick in and undo the latch (for reference in the image I pushed the knife down into this connector from the top and lifted it up slightly to free that tiny bit of plastic in the hole.

 

It was at this point I stopped for some tea and also gave the dash a good wipe down as it was very dusty.

 

Step 5 – Wire up and fit the new stalk cluster

 

Take the 4 yellow VW repair wires and plug them all into the small 4 pin connector you bought. You’ll find the numbers 1 and 4 on one side of the connector indicating which is pin 1 and which is pin 4.

 

Using the snap-lock connectors, attach the yellow wire from pin 2 to the piece of 1m wire. This will need to be routed down to the fuse box which we’ll cover off in the last section.

 

Pins 1, 3 and 4 will be plugged into the gray instrument cluster connector.

 

On the gray connector you’ll see a sort of door which is protecting the cables and keeping them tidy, undo this. On the side of the connector you’ll see a small latch that will allow the black bar the cables are plugged into to slide out. Remember which way you took it out as it must go back in that way.

 

Like before you’ll find numbers at either end of this connector indicating the pin slots. This is a double decker so pins 1-16 are on the top and 17-32 are on the bottom.

 

Feed the wire from pin 2 of the stalk cluster down the right side of the steering shaft and into the drivers footwell. You should be able to poke your hand up from underneath to help pull it through.

 

One at a time, feed the other remaining yellow wires from the stalk cluster through the left side of the steering shaft and up through the top slot of the dash (it should follow the same path as the gray connector). Connect the wires to the following slots on the gray connector:

 

Stalk cluster pin 1 > instrument cluster pin 17

Stalk cluster pin 3 > instrument cluster pin 4

Stalk cluster pin 4 > instrument cluster pin 1

 

So it should look like this:

 

Doing it one at a time means you should connect the correct cable to the correct slot.

 

Push the connector bar back in and close the wire door keeping the wires tidy.

 

Plug the cruise connector we’ve just wired up into the stalk cluster and also plug in the OBC 5 pin connector. Using some small cable ties, tie the wires together and tidy it up.

 

Place the two connectors in these slots to keep them secure. The OBC, if you have it, should have been in one of these already.

 

Step 6 – Fit the new stalk cluster

 

These steps are now basically the reverse of what we’ve done to get to this point. Slide the new stalk cluster onto the steering shaft and back to the same position as the old one (55mm from the end of the shaft). Tighten up the bolt from underneath when it is in position and straight.

 

Reconnect the large connectors at the back of the stalk cluster.

 

You can now slide on the rubber grommets. The left side is easier than the right as both the indicator and OBC stalks move to the center. Be careful with the cruise stalk as it doesn’t feel like it wants to move up for you to get the grommet on.

 

Reattach the clock-spring connector unit, the steering column panels and faceplate. You can now remove the tape holding the clock-spring connector unit.

 

Push on the steering wheel. The two plastic prongs on the clock-spring connector unit feed into two slots on the steering wheel.

 

This is the back of the steering wheel – the two slots top and bottom is what I referenced above.

 

Tighten up the nut to attach the steering wheel and tighten it so your marker pen is back in line. Plug in the two spade connectors and re-attach the airbag.

 

Now to re-attach the instrument cluster. Swivel it back around into position and re-attach the 3 coloured plugs plus the microphone cable. Push the plugs in and pull the black bar down to secure it in place. The cluster should slot back in without too much trouble, remember to tighten your screws and push your hazard button and trim back into place.

 

Everything should now be done and your 996 should be drivable…apart from the last wire we need to connect to the fuse box.

Step 7 – Connecting the stalk cluster to the fuse box

 

Take off the fuse box cover and undo the 4 screws holding it in place. This should allow you to remove the carpet surround.

 

 

 

There are 4 clips on the side of the fuse box holding it in place, using your blunt knife press it into each clip to release it.

 

The fuse we need to connect to is B7. This is the second row from the top and the 4th fuse in from the right (as indicated by the number sequence).

 

Run the cable along the bulk of cables to the fuse box so you know what length you need and trim the cable down.

 

Find the black wire and using a snap-lock connector, attach your cable.

 

My 1m wire was black as well and you can see that running off to the right of the picture.

 

You can see the black cable just under the white and black one I’m holding. It crosses over a brown and black cable.

 

Tidy the cables up and push the fuse box back into its holder. Using some cable ties attach the new wire to the bulk of wires to keep it tidy. Put the carpet surround back and you’re done.

 

Now take a drive to your local OPC and get them to enable the cruise control coding in the DME (or anyone with a PST2 or PIWIS Tester in engineering Mode).

Read write ECU BMW E60 530d, which programmer and how?

Car model and ECU type:

BMW E60 530d

it's a dde 5 (m50d57a0) (bosch edc16c31) cas 2

It got water damage on the ecu and it fried it.

 

Purpose:

Got a new ecu with the same numbers but need a tool to read isn from cas, write to ecu and change vin on ecu.

 

E60 Bosch edc16c31 ECU programmer advice:

Possible solution 1:

You can do a BDM read with KTAG, that that will give You the option to read MPC/External Flash/EEPROM. You can do the full read and make a backup, so You will not be worried after something goes bad. For ISN change You need the EEPROM read. Than find on this forum BMW ISN tool, that will help You read and modify the ISN number in dumps.

It would be better if You had the original EDC unit, so You could just read and copy EEPROM, that would be way easier. But as You don't have it, than You will need to buy one more tool. Get R270+ or Xprog, because You will also need to read CAS EEPROM. As You can't read the original ISN of Your car with tools You have unfortunately. These tools aren't too expensive, and as You are a beginner I'd suggest R270+. The software includes a photo instructions on where to connect BDM cables in CAS unit, so it will be rather fast and easy job.
With R270 read only CAS EEPROM, You don't need Flash. Open BMW ISN editor, load the EDC dump, load CAS dump and in ISN editor You will find the option to copy ISN from EDC to CAS, click on that, then click on DDE<->CAS synchronization in ISN editor, save the new dumps and write them back to EDC and to CAS. That should give You the programmed and synchronized immobilizer.
After that, connect the ISTA-P to the car, click the option, that You changed the engine control unit and calculate the programming plan. ISTA will suggest You the correct software number to program, and You can do that with ISTA or load the soft with WINKFP, depending what software You prefer. It might seem complicated, but it's really easy job to do. And if You ever find Yourself in such situation again, do not throw the damaged ECU until You copied the memories. It really can help to make things easier and faster.

 

Possible solution 2:

There are tools which can help you but as you don't want to spend money on them so
You have this option....you have to buy DME and CAS with keys or with keys

1. If you bought DME, CAS and keys just install in the car and itwill start....reprogram the modules using Autel MS908 P or ISTA-P so it'll change VIN number to match your vehicle
2. If you bought DME, CAS only then you have to make key for it and reprogram the modules using Autel MS908P or ISTA-P

or you have to at least buy FVDI/SVCI to read ISN from DME and it'll give you the option to write that ISN in CAS2
ISN on this model is 4 digits so its easie.

(Although I use Original AVDI and it work great for this stuff but again too much expensive if you will not be doing in regular basis)

 

***However, someone don't agree and says:

You can't change VIN in CAS with ISTA or WINKFP, You still need programmer unfortunately. AVDI is rather expensive (but great tool, have the original and it's pretty handy). Also after fitting the used CAS there will be manipulation dot on instrument panel and the mileage between CAS and Instrument will be different. In some countries that's actually a big problem right now.

 

That's all.

Thanks!
