How to Set up VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford with RDT Software?

Confirmed! vxdiag vcx nano ford and vcx se j2534 passthru devices are tested working with free RDT software. Works perfectly though.

What’s RDT software?
The ROUSH Diagnostic Tool (RDT) is a free desktop application available from ROUSH CleanTech that may be used for PCM calibration updates as well as diagnostics. The tool features data logging capabilities as well as DTC read/clear and KOEO/KOER functions.

Using Google Chrome, the software is downloaded to a laptop by following this link to register: http://rdt.roush.com/RoushRdt/. Each laptop will require a new download of the software.

How to set up VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford with RDT software?

The VXDIAG VCX Nano seems to work great with RDT and Ford IDS.

Helpful links:

• **VX Manager driver**: http://www.vxdiag.net/?lang=en
• Download the driver for the passthrough j2534 only using their vxdiag manager
  Ford IDS install: https://www.vxdiagshop.com/info/vxdiag-diagnostic-software-download-4048.html
• How to RDT install and flash: https://www.roushcleantech.com/pcm-programming-with-rdt/

The instructions that came with the VXDIAG VCX Nano Ford IDS to be the easiest to follow:

Follow the entire process above, so Ford IDS is also installed. RDT and VX Manager are all you have needed so far.

Linking and Setup
-Connected the vxdiag j2534 device to the laptop and open the VX Manager.
-The app recognized the device immediately.

-Clicked on the Diagnostic tab.
-Clicked PASS THRU.
-Installed PASS THRU.

-Installed and registered the Rosh Diagnostic Tool following the Roush clean tech video:
https://www.roushcleantech.com/pcm-programming-with-rdt/
-Opened the RDT app and followed the clean tech video up to the entering the voucher.

All seems legit.

You can use the Mouse Jiggler app (Zen enabled) to stop your laptop from hibernating and you’ll be running an ethernet cable out to the garage for the flash.

*Vxdiagshop.com does not provide RDT software nor technical support for it.

Escalade GMT800 TPMS Programming by VXDIAG VCX SE

Review: 2003-2006 Cadillac Escalade GMT800 /Silverado – TPMS Programming with VXDIAG VCX SE Tech2win software.

Now we have a vxdiag vcx se scan tool that I purchased from vxdiagshop and that allows me to connect to this truck- a Cadillac Escalade GMT800.
It's a j2534 communication device that allows me to utilize factory scan tool software to connect to vehicles and talk to them for pennies on the dollar compared to what dealerships charge.
It's pretty simple. You buy the device, install the gm drivers and then download and install the tech2win software. It's a piece of cake and they outline how to do it step by step when you buy the device.  Another part of the install is a passenger door module with forward slash tpms which you will read on the sticker on the back of each one that has it out of a gmt 800 escalade.

Now the Escalade has to have an up-level radio. So with that being said you have the pdm out of an escalade gmt 800 and the tire pressure monitoring sensors either sitting in your hand or on a workbench or installed in the tires.

i'd recommend them getting them installed in the tires and how you want to do that is up to you.

What i'm going to show you right now is the programming step to get this taken care of.

Here's the free tech2win software downloaded from vxdiagshop website. Run tech2 software, choose the North American region.

Select correct interface and go ahead.

Drill into the diagnostics-> 2005->ID Truck MPV and Incomplete-> Cadillac-> C series-> F2: Chassis ->Equal to or under 8600 GVW-> Rear Disc Brakes

cool ABS is not illuminated

we're going to slide on down to tpms and we'll do just data display to prove it works.

a simple data display that's pulling a live feed through that passenger door module and since i don't live in europe or canada or any other country that's not america i'll switch that to miles

per hour and psi and right now you see all the all the specs 41 42 sensor id, it's currently programmed for 45 psi.

so i believe if it drops down below 10 or if it drops down 10 psi so to 35

it'll set off the tpms warning that flashes on your dtc in your gauge cluster and the light comes on and then you have the load range which you program in here.

So i'm going to go back and tech2win special functions and here it is so you've got learn sensor location, type tire pressure selection so in here

you would come in here select the load range and specify the tire pressure that you would like

here's the option to enable tpms which it's a piece of cake, just come in here and click enable as long as you have that passenger door module.

and then spare entire monitoring disable.

Enjoy.

Program Chevy Volt 2012 HPCM2 by VXDIAG & Techline Connect

This is a Chevy Volt year 2021. It pops up here Service High Voltage Charging System error. I clear it with GDS2 before but it is not working anymore as I had that caveat before that sometimes it doesn't always work.

I got to reprogram the hpcm2 module. I've already done the BCM update.

These documents help a lot:

Chevy Volt HPCM 2 Reprogramming with VXDIAG VCX NANO SPS

How to Set up VXDIAG VCX NANO GM with Techline Connect?

Using Techline Connect and a VXDIAG VCX Nano GM interface to fix Chevy Volt Service High Voltage Charging System Error:

I am going to put the car in service mode.  so i'm going to do that is foot not on the brake. i do have my keys in my pocket.  i don't know if that makes a difference.

I'm just going to hold the power button for that long however long that was. i'll hold a button turn the radio down here it's not raining in my shop turn the wipers off.

I've logged into ACDelco tds.com subscriptions. I've done my login.  What i'm going to do is go ahead and click view here on subscriptions.  I use SPS2 and a 2 year subscription per VIN is $40. A really good deal IMO. This is probably a $200-300 service at a dealer. The VCX Nano is $119 and I want a subscription to the legit GM GDS2, but that's like $500 for 2 years.

It will bring up the vin, this is my vin.

I've already have techline connect installed and launch Techline Connect.

I have the vcx nano software installed. My sacrificial MacBook pro i have a windows partition on there because vxdiag software has the virus and may interfer with Techline Connect.

I've got my vcx nano plugged in to vehicle and connect with laptop via USB

You can see there's a red light for power.
Select VXDAIG J2534 interface
Launch SPS2

I'm going to go ahead and find the hpcm2 controller

Select Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2,  it is k114b

go ahead and select that click
reading vehicle data
the vcx down there the blue lights blinking, that's your data just doing stuff allegedly

Here we go so finally loaded this screen this is what you want to see

here's the updates. i've already certainly focus here. I already have i've already done this i just keep getting a recurring error Here we go

zoom out here, so the controller the controller k114b, apparently there's two pieces of software down here

current's the same the new one i select is the same so basically just doing a rewrite of the existing software.

i think it's going to give me an error or a warning about that and here we are you are attempting to reprogram. it's the same calibration yeah it's fine.

so some of you probably be doing this for the first time we'll probably be putting a new calibration on so you don't get that error.

i downloaded it I think it's a pretty small piece of software my internet out here in the country is pretty slow

We will see the estimate time remaining, it is not accurate if you noticed it was like 15 minutes since i started talking about it

the vehicle is processing the updates it's actually already uploaded it the module is actually installing it processing it might take a few more minutes.

there we go and i'm done so i am going to click clear dtc's down here at the bottom

there we go dtc's have been successfully cleared

i'm gonna go ahead and close out up here back to the main screen

close here

shut down Techline Connect.

I'm back into chrome and close the laptop here

i'm gonna take it out of service mode by pressing the button so i'll do this press it. I got my keys in my pocket come on.

look at that no check engine light, no service high voltage charging system.

great success very excited, this is a very quick painless process once you have the vxdiag vcx nano for gm scanner.

You're used to dealing with it. It goes pretty smoothly.
