The SAE D-PDU API (ISO 22900) for Tech2win is now supported for our OBDX pro GT scantool. The Tech2win D-PDU installer is available from our websites download page.

The D-PDU API is similar to that of SAE J2534 standard where it allows scantool manufactures to support multiple dealership softwares by meeting the D-PDU (ISO 22900) compliance. For GM, tech2win is the only diagnostic application they provide to the public which supports this API.

This new release allows our OBDX Pro GT to work with tech2win which is a professional GM diagnostic application that allows dealership grade diagnostics. Tech2win allows performing diagnostics on multiple GM vehicles, typically in the range of 1990 through to 2012, this application can be purchased from the acdelco website.

We have tested the OBDX Pro GT with tech2win on multiple Holden parts including instrument clusters, Body Control Modules (BCM), Engine Control Modules (ECU including P01,E40,E38,E55 ect), Transmission Control Modules (TCM) and a variety of other parts found in VT to VE Holden Commodores.

The D-PDU API has been strictly designed for Tech2win only, so it may not work nicely with any other vehicle manufacture software. We can add support for other softwares but will require access to the software to ensure we meet all of its requirements.

The SAE J2534 standard is now supported for our OBDX pro GT scantool. The J2534 installer is available from our websites download page.

J2534 is one of the most heavily used standards around the world which is typically used with dealership software or various commercial software. If you are interested in hearing more about J2534 and why it is important, click here to see our post.

Our early testers and users have flashed hundreds of Electronic Control Modules (ECUs) between them,  utilizing multiple J2534 compliant software including dealership and commercial tools. Our own development and daily programming sessions have been in cars or bench setups using GM’s SPS1, Techline Connect, SPS2, GDS2 and various other J2534 software for diagnostics and performing updates on GM ECUs.

As the J2534 is a standard used by many manufactures, the OBDX GT can be used on other vehicle manufacture brands since the most common OBD2 protocol is CANbus, which our OBDX GT supports.

We are working very closely with multiple J2534 software developers and also end users to ensure our tools work with as many 3rd party and dealership software as physically possible! If you are a developer and need some custom abilities, or use a dealership software which does not automatically work, please contact us for help!
