Can I connect Tech Tool 1 to an OBD2013 Volvo or Mack vehicle?
Tech Tool 1 will connect to these vehicles, but Tech Tool 1 will not
communicate with the Volvo or Mack powertrain ECUs: ECM, ACM and the
TCM.
I am having trouble connecting to an OBD2013 vehicle.
Make sure that you have the latest updates, by using the Client Update Agent
found in the bottom right of the screen. Also within TT2, perform the Update
Product Information found under the Tech Tool menu in the top left of screen.
Check and make sure that the communications interface settings are correct.
Check for battery voltage and ground connection at the 16 pin diagnostic connector.
Note: This is a fused circuit.
What happened to the GDR that is found in Tech Tool 1?
Tech Tool 2 has a similar session history.
On
the top bar, go to the Product History tab.
Can a customer purchase Tech Tool 2?
Yes at http://volvotrucksemedia.com/ and at http://www.macktrucksemedia.com/
There are several versions
available for customers and fleets.
If a fleet purchases Tech Tool 2 with programming capability, what
should they
expect to be able to program
They can program the ECM, ACM and VECU for OBD2013 and newer
vehicles.
You can also make changes to parameters.
Why doesn’t Tech Tool 2 automatically identify Mack V-MAC III?
Tech Tool 2.03 will automatically connect, in most cases. If it does not, you
must
manually select the vehicle Make and Model. Look for improvements
in the
near future.
Why did we change to the new VoCom adapter?
This new adapter is more rugged and suited to the workshop environment.
The
cables are also more suited to the workshop and should last a long time.
The
VoCom supports three data-links at the same time. This is needed to fully
support the OBD2013 vehicles.
