Run Subaru Variable Compressor break-in Drive Cycle with SSM3

  Car: Subaru 10 LGT, 08 & 12 forester, 06 legacy RIP Problem: The compressor on my 2010 grenaded a few month ago. The variable ac compressor only has a pulley, no clutch. I replaced it, the ac condenser and the expansion valve. It still won’t come on. I hooked mine up to  Subaru SSM3 scanner and when I command the ac solenoid or try to run the relearn procedure – it fails and says the compressor is in ‘protect mode’ I can’t find anything in the FSM about ‘protect mode’ or what triggers it. No codes present in the AC module I managed to get 72 PSI into the system by heating the can of Freon with a propane torch and then closing the lowside port. Pressure switch shows 58 MPa and does fluctuate with temperature. Shows a commanded evap core temperature as well as actual. It shows zero Freon flow, the compressor just will not engage. Solution: Looks like installing a new compressor requires using the SSM III to run a variable compressor break-in drive cycle. Also – i

VXDIAG C6 – DoIP Fix for DTS Monaco enet cable DTS

  I have seen a few people struggling with DoIP and VXDIAG C6 . Please see the attached image of the interface settings for DoIP. When using DoIP with Vxdiag make sure you uncheck/turn off the CAN interface(MODULE_TYPE_ID_MTS6532) in DTS. Then connect the interface to the car and laptop, open vxmanager and turn on DoIP for BENZ. Then open DTS and with the project you require and you will see DoIP ECU available in bottom right corner. If in DTS it shows the DoIP available but no commands work, turn ignition off of vehicle, unplug vci from vehicle and computer, then plug everything back in while rebooting DTS and it should work I don’t find Vxdiag C6 as stable as original eCOM so only use this if you have to. You can also make enet cable work for DoIP for DTS but it is not as stable. Vxdiag C6 use USB! Enjoy!

How to selectchange diagnostic tool in TIS2Web for MDI2

  GM has recently updated the Service Programming System (SPS) with a new method of selecting a J2534 tool in TIS2Web. A J2534 tool ( MDI , MDI 2 , or other J2534 device) is required in order to manage the transfer of data between a vehicle’s onboard network and a service technician’s PC. J2534 is an interface standard designed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and mandated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for vehicle Electronic Control Unit (ECU) reprogramming. Selecting a Diagnostic Tool From the Select Diagnostic Tool and Programming Process screen, select the J2534 Tool option for all J2534 tools (MDI, MDI 2, or other J2534 device). The first time the J2534 Tool option is selected, a screen will appear asking the user to select a device type, such as the MDI, MDI 2 or other tool. Changing a Diagnostic Tool Selection Once a J2534 tool has been selected, reprogramming of a control module can be completed. If the J2534 tool selection needs to
