Car Diagnostic Tools From webstie obd2tool.com

  My husband bought one of your tech 2 scanners . When we plug it in and turn it on it says system initializing. Then goes to a screen that says tech 2 post ver 6.2 if 10 items that say passed. It will not go out of this screen. I believe its not making connection with the card for the software. I do have pictures of what its doing, these are the only image the tool gives me. It does this with and without the card in it. I have also attached pictures of the inside of the device where the card goes and the card. I believe they are not making a connection with each other . Finally Solved!!! I found that the memory card had a couple of plugged holes. I tried opening they holes up and was also able to straighten the pins in the tech 2 device. I finally got the card to connect with the tech 2 correctly and now everything seems to be working. Thanks for your help. Thanks to this user, hope it helps.

  I’ve been struggling with this for months now and I came across a post of the Cadillac forum where someone mentioned using the GM Tech2 handheld scanner and running the “Evap service bay” test. First you will need the VCX Nano from obd2tool , it comes with the software for Tech2 and  GDS2 emulators and install it on a laptop. The Evap test should be done from a cold start so have everything ready. The reason I failed the Tech2 EVAP test first time was you must keep RPM between 1800-2200 for 8 minutes it was impossible to do that with foot so it failed and i had to wait overnight for a cold start. What i did to fix was I found a piece of wood and placed it between the seat and gas pedal and move the electric seat until RPM is 2000. This worked perfectly I used this when doing brake light testing for inspection as well. *   Have everything set up, I opened hood so it wouldn’t get too hot, connect the VCX Nano to the OBD2 port and your laptop and go to t...

  The GM Tech II comes with  GM software and provides support for on-board diagnostics on all GM systems 1992 thru 2010.The CANDI module for GM tech2 connects between the GM Tech 2 Flash’s diagnostic link cable and the OBD adapter. Once the CANDI module is connected, it can be used on all GM vehicle applications, even those vehicles using other platforms such as OBD I and OBD II. The CANdi (Controller Area Network Diagnostic Interface) is an in-line cable module that works with existing Tech 2 components including the VCI, cables and adapters. CANdi module is fully compatible with current and past Tech 2 software. The module powers up in a way that makes it transparent to the user. This allows the existing Tech 2 software to be used with no changes when the CANdi module is installed. If a vehicle requires the use of a CANdi module, the Tech 2 clone will enable features specific to the module. Supports simultaneous communications on three CAN buses Provides h...

Thanks for the feedback @ Chris on GM Tech2 . Here share the problem he got trouble in and offered the corresponding solution. Problem: I received the tech 2. Thank you. But, when I connect to obd2, it says “cannot detect CANDI module, please verify module is connected”. If it helps you, the green light on the candi module is flashing (not solid). I am not sure what to do. Can you help? 1 The solution: I think I selected the wrong engine designation (there are 3) for my truck and the tech 2 could not communicate because it was looking for a controller that was not present (which presented the error message “no candi module”). So, I think the tech 2 was OK. It was my fault in my selections. I got it to work now!

Car model and year: 2005 C6 Corvette z51 53,000 miles. 6speed manual. Symptom: Found out the hard way about the drain while not driving the car for a while. Battery would not recharge, so I purchased a new one about 8 months ago. Found out the hard way the interior lights in the rearview mirror are a little confusing? So dead battery, recharged , connected battery to the car, started up fine and now I have; Brake lights stay on Service Active handling message with the yellow icon on reads code C0561-71 Runs and drives fine. Many hours of research I have checked the plug wires, battery voltage, disconnected the battery, pulled the blue plugs in the passenger area and reset. What to do next? C0161 Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS) Brake Switch Circuit EBCM C0561 System Disabled Information Stored EBCM So the question is if the brake pedal sensor is bad, and the car thinks you are riding the brakes to throw the codes, or if something easy easy t...

Car model and year: 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 Purpose : to pull codes Scan Tool or Diagnostic Tool to use – pros and cons 1. GM Tech2 pros and cons To do work on gm stuff I have knock off Tech 2 . I like it. 2. My OBD Link MX+ or Konnwei Bluetooth devices with the usual Dash Command, Torque Pro, OBD Link and Motor Data apps work for me for troubleshooting. For us LS engine swap people that don’t like to pay the HP Tuners folks money to license a new operating system, there are now free alternatives. “Tuner Pro RT” software allows the free editing of a General Motors PCM operating system to get it to work in a swapped vehicle. Then we use “LS Droid” software with my MX+ device to actually write the changed Tuner Pro operating system to the PCM which completely avoids spending money on HP Tuners. 3. For a long time I have gotten by with a simple scanner. These days with the Bluetooth devices and the torque app…that is even easier for basic stuff. Back in 2011 I picke...

This is Trollhattan’s contribution for those interested in playing with a Tech 2 Scan Tool , here’s a little info regarding the software requirements once you’ve got your hands on a Tech 2 handset. Firstly, I’m by no means an expert on this having only recently got this up and running myself, but I think that’s the tricky part. I’d welcome comments on where this post can be improved/altered etc. Most of the information is already out there on various boards/forums but it would be nice to try to bring it together for us with a purely Saab interest. For those who don’t know, the Tech 2 unit (handset) can be used to interrogate the various management modules on the car (ECU) to report status, fault codes and perform manual activation and monitoring in the event of fault occurrences/engine management light occurrences. This in itself is incredibly useful, but it is also possible to reprogram modules within the car to change various functions and add or replace faul...

Looking for a decent Tech II of some sort for unlocking a radio Cost: Dealership will do it for $135, which isn’t bad too me compared to what i’ve seen others pay. Tip and guide: If your going to wrench on the car, then pick up a  Tech II clone; since your going to need one for even simple things like when you go to flush the brake lines (cycle the ABS pump) or need to pull body codes that a standard scanner will not pull. That link at $224 is a good deal. I thought they were more like the link below that one usually, closer to $300. I keep an eye out in the classifieds here but they always go very quickly Here is how to unlock the radio with the clone Tech II You need to find either a dealer or an independent shop that has a TECH II to “unlock” your nav unit. The GM radios are VIN specific, so the unlock process involves clearing the old VIN # from the nav unit, and allowing it to accept your VIN #. As I said, this can be done by anyone who has access to a T...

I saw another forum member talking about getting a GM Tech2 and I was pretty skeptical, but after he posted that it was working fine, I had to try one. I ordered one from Obd2tool.com on July 10th and it arrived on July 19th via DHL. This is the package I received from China. Opened it up. Taking it out. All of it out and unpackaged. Connector ends. Software CD. Apply your own stickers! CANdi module and cables The new clone on the left, and my original legit GM Tech2 on the right. (stickers not applied yet) Back side. Bottom port. Right side. Top side. Left side. The back side after applying stickers. The VCI module pulled out. The 32mb PCMCIA data card pulled out. Booted up in the car. Displaying the Misfire Graphic screen. Displaying the Engine Data 1 screen. My overall impression after playing with it for a few days. Wow! This thing is cheap, works great, and is of the same build quality as my original. Some of the ...
