SAE J2534 Pass-thru Device

Pass-thru devices can be purchased from a third-party supplier. Below we have provided a list of some of those devices:

Important Information: Ford makes no representations about the performance of third-party pass-thru devices. This pass-thru device list is provided voluntarily and as a courtesy. While our software meets SAE J2534, the pass-thru device manufacturer is responsible for making sure their pass-thru device operates properly on each Ford vehicle and with Ford software. We have listed the devices below because their manufacturers have attested that the tools have been validated to work. From time to time, we may test these devices. If we determine they do not operate properly or are obsolete, we may remove them from the list, without notice. Additionally, pass-thru devices listed here have been listed for their use with Ford North American products only. While they may work with some European and other vehicles, they may not meet the requirements for those regions or operate properly.

**J2534 Pass-thru Device Name	Manufacturer
*CarDAQ+	Drew Technologies, Inc.
*Mongoose PWM + FEPS/Can	Drew Technologies, Inc.
*PassThru+XS	Actia Corp
*Snap-On Pass Thru Pro II	Snap-On

Hardware:

	VCM The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) communicates with Ford vehicles through the 16-pin diagnostic link connector. This device is used by the IDS software and is the core of vehicle diagnostics to read trouble codes, re-program (flash), and view vehicle data. The VCM is no longer available through Rotunda however; previously purchased VCMs are still supported.
	VCM II The VCM II was introduced in 2012. The IDS software supports both the VCM and the VCM II. The VCM II is designed as a direct replacement for the original VCM.
	VMM The Vehicle Measurement Module (VMM) handles electronic and transducer based measurements. The VMM connected to a laptop offers the following functionality: Ignition System Test; Fuel Pressure Test; Fuel Leak-down Test; Injector Flow Test; Secondary Ignition; Current Probe Functionality; Oscilloscope; Digital Multi-Meter.
