Today I would like to share with you an article about using ESYSPLUS to activate (swipe to hide) the start-stop memory function of BMW G38:

So what is BMW’s start-stop memory function? Before the start-stop memory is activated, the start-stop function will automatically turn off after each flameout. You need to press the start-stop function button again in the next ignition to turn on the start-stop function. After activating the start-stop memory through the ESYSPLUS swipe hide, the start-stop function of the vehicle will remain in the state (closed/opened) before the vehicle was turned off (last time).

After the start-stop function is turned on: a yellow light will light up at the button position of the start-stop switch, and the indicator will display READY.

Enter today’s topic: Let’s activate the start-stop memory function of this BMW G28. Prepare a computer with ESYSPLUS (software version: 3.7 or 3. and ENET (OBD) cable installed. The following picture (my computer is a bit messy, no wonder):

1. The vehicle is connected to the battery charger, and the key is turned on (one-key start: short press the start button three times to enter the programming mode) or simultaneously open the door (driving side) and turn on the turn signal. Purpose: to prevent the vehicle from sleeping.

2. Use the ENET cable to connect the computer and the car. The small end of the ENET cable is plugged into the computer’s network port, and the larger end is plugged into the OBD port of the vehicle.

3. Open ESYSPLUS and connect cars.

4. Choose model: Today our model is G38, and we choose model S51C (local connection of ENET line can directly select VIN connection that is automatically read).

5. Make sure the model is correct, click OK

6. Click to read FA, save FA (backup), click to read ECU, click to save SVT (backup): Backup is to restore data when an accident occurs.

7. Read the coding data, click ECU to read. After the reading is completed, 0 errors can be performed before proceeding to the next step.

8. Find the DME module to expand, and click Edit NCD.

9. Enter this interface, because ESYSPLUS custom editor has this function, click Customize and select Wert_01 to refresh the match.

10. Click Save and click the direction arrow symbol to return to the coding interface.

11. Click NCD, the coding is completed with 0 errors.

12. So far, the start-stop memory of this BMW G38 ​​is successfully brushed out, and the sense of accomplishment is back.

Summary: Brushing BMW’s hidden functions with ESYSPLUS is not complicated. It is very convenient to use code brush (manually change the code), script brush, or custom brush (similar to ESYSPRO script).

Wiggle Test on Caterpillar ET Software

Accessing the Wiggle Test

#Purpose
The Wiggle Test function is used to determine if an intermittent wiring problem exists. While a physical component (wiring harness, sensor, connector, etc) is "wiggled” or moved, the test indicates which parameter has moved beyond a predetermined range.

The Wiggle Test threshold is 10% of the starting value, meaning that anything greater or less than 10% of the original value is outside of the threshold. When a parameter goes outside of the threshold from the starting value, two things may happen:

the parameter’s row will be highlighted in red, and
the PC makes a two-second beep. This failed parameter remains highlighted until the test is stopped.

#Accessing
To run the Wiggle Test function:
1). select "Diagnostic Tests” from the "Diagnostics” – "Diagnostic Tests” menu, and then select "Wiggle Test” from the submenu.

2). The "Wiggle Test Warning” dialog box is displayed. Click "OK”. The Wiggle Test screen is displayed.

3). The "Select Group” dialog box displays the first time this tool is accessed.

#Selecting a Group of Parameters
The Groups… button prompts the "Select Group” dialog box to be displayed. This dialog box displays available default groups of parameters to monitor and provides access for creating, changing, and deleting groups. This dialog box allows a group in the service tool to be reassigned.

The "Maintain Groups” dialog box allows parameters to be assigned to a group being created by the user. It also allows parameters to be changed the created group as well as in the "Temporary Group”.

To select a group:
-Click the Groups… button. The Select Group dialog box is displayed.
-Highlight a group from the Select a group list box, and click OK. The service tool screen displays showing the selected group and its parameters.
-Using the up and down arrows on the keyboard, each group and its parameters can be viewed consecutively in the "Select Group” dialog box. If a group is created, that group can be chosen by selecting the first letter of its name. If there is more than one group with the same first letter, continually pressing the letter scrolls through those groups consecutively.

#Screen Layout

The "Wiggle Test” screen has the following areas:
a). Title Area – Located in the upper left corner of the screen, the title area displays the ECM name and the selected group.
b). Display Area – The Wiggle Test display area is in grid format and includes the following columns:

Description – Provides the name of the parameter
Value – Displays the status of the selected parameter. If the service tool is unable to read the data, "Unavailable,” "Not Installed,” or "Not Available” will be displayed.
Unit – Displays the parameter’s unit of measure.

c) Button – The buttons available in the Wiggle Test screen are:

Groups… as describes on #Selecting a Groups Parameters above.
Zoom In/ Zoom Out – The Zoom function allows values to be displayed in larger text for increased visibility. Click the Zoom In button – The size of the displayed text increases. Click Zoom Out button to return to the normal text display mode.
Active Codes – The Active Codes dialog box displays all of the currently active diagnostic and event codes. These codes are the same as those found in the Active Diagnostic Codes (refer to Figure 1.1 above) and Active Event Codes screens in the Diagnostics drop-down menu. This dialog box displays separately from the main screen, allowing active codes to be viewed while specific service tool functions are running.
Start/ Stop – Click this button to begin or end the Wiggle Test.

Part1.HOW TO SOLVE GM TECH II SECURITY ISSUES

Problem: I have aTech II with Saab v148.o card in it. I have tried from Globaltis(Cracked) and TIS 2000 (Hardware key) but cannot gain security access.
Tis2000 gives me the error "cannot connect with security server”
Globaltis just says "error” when trying to gain security access.
I know it is communicating with the tech ii, because during the security check the tech goes from the home screen to "downloading”.
I am using a laptop with a TRENDnet TU-S9 USB to Serial Converter running XP SP3. I have java version 6 update 12 running.
The only think I’ve noticed is the when starting globaltis it states "SAAB Automobile AB v146.00”. I have the 148 SAAB PCIAM card, do not know if that could be affecting it or not.

Customer solution from mhhauto forum:

Here in the forum two types of SAAB v148.000 PCMCIA was shared, one for Tech2 hand held and one cracked for Tech2 Win. In Tech2 hand he’ll only the one for its working. If its the right card uploaded in your tool card then go Security and do it, try Java v 6.26, its the best for GlobalTis or Java v7.0.
Do you have it or not installed the SAAB v148.000 PCMCIA installed and can you connect to your SAAB car? If not you can find this PCMCIA SAAB v148.000 for Tech2 hand held in the forum ( Not the one for Tech2win ) and use Card writer to flash you PCMCIA or MCE software, or use the advise of Mr. techamp (try to re-flash your Tech 2 PCIMA card with Globaltis so your hardware and software match. i believe version on globaltis is 146.00.) and use the SAAB GlobalTis to write your PCMCIA card, then go to your card and check if the diagnostic is possible. Then connect again the Tech2 with the computer ->power it up ->run the GlobalTis-> use Security, then you can do any SPS Programming in your car
Good luck

How to rework GM Tech2 PCB to make Tech2 scan tool clone boot up for use.

– Problem
Tech II clone not boot up (not turn on)

– Reason
The issue usually results from the DC to DC converter
This converter is a common internal component for the device GM TECH II
originally these come equipped with the "Meanwell SKE10A-05VT” and "BTCPower 4BE-01T-02”
you cannot longer purchase these items because they are not being manufactured anymore
You actually can find the "Meanwell SKE10A-05” but missing the "VT” and also missing 1 pin for the soldering points.
BEWARE this model dc to dc converter WILL NOT WORK
It may help you power on your device, but the power button among other programming features won’t work.

– Solution worked!
To replace DC to DC converter can avoid unpleasant surprises.
REC10-1205S/H2/M has a 6 pin connections, "Meanwell SKE10A-05VT” and "BTCPower 4BE-01T-02” have a 5 pin connections, is it not a problem when you change the component.
So, sort this out.
This list is for a DC to DC converter with the following specifications:
Input: 9~18VDC
Output: 5VDC 2.0A

– GM Tech 2 PCB before the DC to DC converter replacement

– Tech2 clone worked gain after the DC to DC converter replacement

– The important note: Tech2 not boot up when the car starts

So, how to fix a reboot Tech 2 when starting the car? The square dedicated native voltage Stabilizer, black spots, this is how it is better to feed on, immediately giving to drink block, then the main Board gently giving to drink lagged behind in her legs. By means of wooden toothpicks carefully remove the solder prepared under us new voltage regulator (mornsun VRB1205LD-15W DIP).

Part 2:GM Tech2 clone C5 Corvette feedback

Feedback 1:
I bought the Tech 2 (clone, works great) for my C5 (99) just for the Automated Bleed so I could completely flush the brake system particularly for the EBCM !!! Have since used the crap out of it, ECM/PCM re-learn, crank sensor re-learn etc !!!!

Also use it to exercise my ABS motor every 3 months.

Feedback 2:
C5 has the built in ability to pull vehicle specific DTC’s right in the DIC and those can be exceptionally helful in diagnosing and correcting common C5 issues.

There are a number of functions in addition to diagnostic trouble shooting that can be accomplished with the Tech II. and another is the ability to program out unwanted features such as F45 or F55 RPO’s ar program RPO’s into a replacement BCM.

Do recognize that the tool have extremely limited ability to change settings in either the PCM or BCM. To accomplish change you need a programming tool such as HP Tuners or EFI Live and they can change only PCM settings. They’re very easy to use,just follow the display,and look around till you get tired,,and try reading ”live data” as much as you can,it speeds up the learning curve,,and try it on as many GM cars/trucks as you can too

Tech 2 installation Question and Issue:
Question:
when I try to connect it to my car, I get
this message:
no communications with vehicle
check diagnostic link connector
check ignition
I have my key in the on position but not running, cable connection appears to be correct.

Possible reasons:
Possible Reason 1:
Are you feeding a separate 12volt to the Tech 2 or are you only using the OBD2 cable ?
I feed the 12volt from the sigaretteholder into the end of the OBD cable .

The 120VAC input 12VDC output power supply that is supplied with the Tech2 should only be used when working offline. It can mess with the ground reference if it is powering the TECH2 while connecting to the vehicle.
When connecting to the vehicle the Tech2 can be powered from the DLC (OBDII connector), cigarette lighter power cable or the battery clip power cable.

Possible Reason 2:
If your battery gets a little low then the Tech2 will start having problems.
The Tech2 itself can be a bit of a drain. If your key is on then you have day time running lights and accessories being powered as well. It is better to have a battery charger connected and start with a full charge. Try the self check with the Tech2 not connected to the car’s OBD2 port using the AC adapter.

Possible reason 4:
The parts has defect.
Suggestion: I’d be looking for parts to repair it before sending it back. I got mine for $200 shipped and wouldn’t like to know how much it would cost to ship it back from the US but assume it would be at least half of what I paid.
BTW, you can buy from obd2eshop.com shop (item NO. SP23-1) which are reliable.

GM TECH2 program out the GM Corvette F45
GM Tech2 clone scanner is tested ok to program out GM Corvette F45.

Steps:

Hook up Tech II, turn car on, make sure module in the rear is plugged in. Do not unplug the rear module.
2. Use Tech 2 to delete the F45 option (F55 does not appear on the menu screen, use F45).
3. Save new configuration.
4. Do not turn car off, do not remove Tech 2. Go to the module in the rear of the car, unplug the grey connector (the widest one), leave any other plug(s) in. [leave the other 1 (F45) or 2 (F55) plugged in]
5. Turn off car, leave Tech 2 plugged in.
6. Remove remaining plugs from module in the rear of car. [never plug them back in again, if you do the F45 turns on automatically]
7. Turn car on to verify the "max speed 80 mph” is gone.
8. Unplug GM Tech 2.
9. Never plug the connectors back in.

Where to have one GM Tech2
Google Search is your friend !

I bought mine from the same place. Had it in less than a week.
Took a picture of Tech2, pretty high quality of CANDI unit, cables, along with one of the 12 volt adapters. And the data disks .. as you can see the labels were not made with an INK JET printer …

Part3.(Solved) Tech2 Tech2Win license expired or not exist

This is how to fixProfessional Diagnostic Tool Tech2 Tech2Win license information "expired or not exist”, including how to send licence to Tech2win from GlobalTIS
The error message and the screenshot:
Tech2Win license information
E667481: Your license has expired or does not exist!
Please perform a software download or a security access to refresh your license.
Meanwhile vehicle communication and CANdi detection is disabled.

Which cable you using Probably with PassThru.
You must send permission (licence) from GlobalTIS to Tech2Win.
Digit after the lock (bottom part screen) show you how many days you have licence to use. If you using GlobalTIS v28-32 licence will be for 1 day (24hr), after expired licence you must send again.

Instruction: how to send licence to Tech2win from GlobalTIS:

(the example from AVDI)
Run GlobalTIS.
In GlobalTIS click on Security Access (Security).
In GlobalTIS, Security click on the button Start Download. This will run Security Access wizard.
When its main window is displayed click on the button Next.
When the activation finish you will see the following window with information: "Security Access Enabled Security Access type 3”
After a successful security access inTech2Win you can see an open lock on the right side of thestatus bar. Inside the bracket you see the number of days the license is valid.
When you startTech2Win again the security indicator is not displayed as long as no vehicle communication isbeing performed.
During the first communication with a vehicle the license will be checked and theindicator displays either an open or closed lock.

Hope this helps

GM Tech2 clone Automated Bleed 2006 C6 Feedback

I just checked my Tech II clone against my 2006 C6. In the ABS section there is an "Automated Bleed” option. In the Radio section there is a "VIN Relearn” option. I’ve never actually used either one, but I bet they work.
The clones are literally running the same software as the Tech II, so they have all the same functions. There are a few caveats: the standard clone power supply will cause the unit to reset if you run the starter motor, apparently, though this can be fixed. Also, operating while tethered to a PC involves a bunch of licensing hacks and other nonsense. But you only need to do that if you want to flash the ECU firmware.
The Tech II lets you see (and individually reset) all the DTCs from all the modules. It also has a bunch of special functions and bidirectional capabilities.
It’s great as a standalone diagnostics tool but it isn’t intended to modify ECU parameters like tuning software does. This is a tool for fixing the car, not modifying it.

Tutorial: How to add a new smart key with Autel IM608 and XP400 on BMW 320i 2013

What will you learn?

1.Equipment you will need to execute this procedure

2.Defining what FEM/BDC means and identifying their differences

3.Review the location and components inside the FEM/BDC module

4.Precautions before attempting to add a key with IM608

5.Step-by-step procedures on how to add a key with IM608

What you need?

Autel MaxiIM IM608 auto key programmer

XP400 key programmer

BMW FEM/BDC test platform

One original BMW smart key

One new/blank smart key

What you should know?

-This is an advanced level procedure.

-Only F chassis are supported

-Check first to see if any keys have been added before via OBD

-Need to remove FEM (front Electronic module) /BDC (Body Domain Controller) module from vehicle

-Before we attempt to add a key, we need to "Jailbreak” the FEM or BDC only one time. After that you can add additional key by OBD.

-We will be using the "Smart mode” function that is a sequence of step by step guided instructions

-Adding the key can be done via Bench or OBD

Before we take out the module, disconnect the negative battery terminal that’s all you need to do. Not the positive, the negative battery terminal.

After that, you can see where the FDM is located on the right passenger side.

Pay attention to the location marked, that’s kind of embedded onto the cover, we’re going to need this later on we need to know it says connection seven connection eight, we’re gonna need to know this later to complete the connections with the test programmer.

Take a picture of the fuses, because once we take off everything we have to put it all back together and we have this we know exactly where to put it back

If it’s a FEM system, the chip will be labeled M95128

If it’s a BDC system, it’s going to be M95256

You can see the chip number using a varnish removal ointment with a fiberglass pin to clean it off, so you can get a good secure read.

Step-by-step guide to add a key with MaxiIM IM608:

Step 1: Connect all the devices according to the following wiring diagram

Note: Don’t connect Autel XP400 to the vehicle directly, otherwise it will cause the device to burn out. If damaged, you need to send it back to fix and pay for the fix cost.

Step 2: Enter IMMO function

Accept the disclaimer

Select [BMW]-> [Smart mode]

It will automatically scan the immobilizer system, engine system, transmission system.

Step 3: Select [Key learning]

Note: This process requires networking to obtain data, please setup the network to ensure that it is connected to WiFi and keep this state during the whole process.

Detect vehicle and ECU info successfully

Step 4: It will backup coding files automatically.

Step 5: Then going to modify EEPROM data automatically! Please pay attention the following prompts.

-Please disassemble the EEPROM chip and connect the programmer

-The FEM module is chip M95128 and the BDC module is M96256.

-If you operate the EEPROM with clamp, you should turn off the +12V power first.

Press "Diagram” to check EEPROM diagram or press "OK” to continue

Step 6: It will backup EEPROM data and write the modified EEPROM data automatically

Write EEPROM data successfully

Step 7: EEPRM chip operated successfully, then you can install the chip back to the ECU module

-Take off the clamp from the chip

-Turn the power on

Step 8: Start to program the key, please make sure the supply voltage exceeds 13V and is stable.

-Make sure the vehicle power is OK.

-Make sure the OBD diagnostic cable is correctly connected.

-Make sure the power icon on the top right corner of the diagnostic tool correctly displays the voltage.

Downloading file…

Step 9: Then restore EEPROM data automatically

-Put the clamp on the chip

Restore the EEPROM successfully

-Install the chip back to the ECU module

-Turn the power on

Step 10: Restore coding file

Step 11: Learn key

-Before the key can be written and cleared, the password must be read out and the corresponding key position must be selected firstly

Put the working key to start coil as close as possible

Read password successfully

Step 12: Back to key learning to select [Write key]

-Put the new key close to start coil. Key frequency 315Mhz

There are four steps to learn key:

-Authenticate key info

-Write data into key

-Reset ECU

-Verify key info

Write the key successfully

Finally, put the new key close to start induction coil, press and hold the ignition for 10s.

After the learning is completed, the key can be normally used.

Fyi…

Autel IM608 Pro is the upgrade version of Autel IM608. It comes with the same Touchscreen Android tablet and works with XP400 Pro and supports more functions and car models.

Electronic Data Link(EDL) is the dealer diagnostic PC-to-vehicle interface compatible with Service ADVISOR software. With Service ADVISOR you can view service manuals, use DTAC (Technical Assistance Center) data, make diagnostics, readings, tests and calibrations, re-program controllers

Topic 1: John deere SA possible with NEXIQ USB Link?

It is possible to install John Deere Service Advisor on your laptop, though the installation is really complicated. If you have a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop, the easiest way is to restore the main partition from the image of my computers’ c: drive. And every time i change my laptop, i just restore it.

Win7 installed and fully updated. It takes hours.

The image will not work on xp, but SA works fine. My suggestion, buy used Lenovo T400 or T500. it’s more or less 250eur in europe. Install windows 7 and then can put my image. Takes 10 minutes and u have SA working.

Topic 2: How to get Nexiq usb link china worked?
I spent a month doing research on this and i managed my Chinese XTruck USB Link to work 90%. The thing is that Nexiq has only 2 channels while EDL has 3. The 3rd one is Powertrain and it is used very seldom. E.g. I reprogrammed all the controllers on 6690 premium except two, but found a way around it opening the pld file with pldeditor and changing Powertrain channel to Vehicle (channel 1). Lots of machines don’t even have a 3rd Powetrain channel. Like all 5R; 6115R, 6125R, 7280R….. From my experience only the older machines have it and still can be programmed most of the time. Programming controllers is easy, but diagnostics is a bit annoying. Every time you establish the connection u have to remove the usb plug and plug it again for the readings to appear. Connection establishment is taking a long long time and you never see the ECU. Only all the other controllers. So all the time something doesn’t work. If you are prepared for this here is what you have to do:

I switched places channel 1 with channel 2 (see the pic) with my Chinese version and now it works fine, probably it was possible to do it adjusting the software settings as mentioned above, but i tried a lot, and nothing helped. Now i can connect, tried with 6125R and 5070M. Works fine!!! Except one very important thingy. After i establish the connection, all the reading give the same meaningless number. Then, I discovered accidentally, I pull out the USB cable, get the message "Connection interrupted” I put it back in, get the message "Connection resumed” and wuolla, all the readings show up immediately.

b) You don’t have to change the firmware. Both will work pretty much the same but with different issues.

P.S. For diagnostics only, there is a subprogram of SA that works without any cable rewiring, it doesn’t have a Program Controller option, and you still need to reinsert the usb after connection has been established. You just need to select the right port (which is usually 1939ImplementAutoboud or 1939AppAutoboud depending on the machine) and model. If you have SA, you will find the software at c:\Program Files\Service ADVISOR\xvds\XJDET.exe
Just to let you know, after a year working like that, i bought anotherHeavy Duty Truck Scanner Tool EDL (recommended by a folk in the forum, much much much more than the old one)

One month ago, i had a OBDSTAR X300M. it had been used for a long time, and cannot use effectively. So i wanted to buy a new one, but i found another obdstar mileage correction tool same as x300m, that’s Odo Master.Here share my experience with you.

After comprehensive comparison, i purchased a new odo master at eobdtool.co.uk.i received it after 5 working days from the time i paid by PayPal. All is packed in a plastic box incl. ODO master main unit, main cable, charger, multi-functional jumper and Configuration List.

This is odo master main unit

Advantage:

1.Rugged appearance, easy to use

2.The update cycle is short and fast (updated every 2-3 days)
3. Free upgrade within one year

4.Add a new help function for some models

Can’t wait to take a photo for full kit, i tried to correct odometer for some cars.

Firstly, connect odo master to the vehicle well

Then enter odo master main menu to select car model

Test on Land Rover

The original meter is 17309km, the final meter has been adjusted to 17412km

Test on Jeep

Correct the odometer from 6272 km to 5800km

So satisfied!!! these two cars i tested by obdstar odo master both works perfectly. I know the info from Obd2tool.com, odo master can support more car models than x300m. i hope it can give me more surprises in later tests.
