How to Use Techline Connect with VXDIAG VCX FD?

VXDIAG VCX NANO GM and VCX SE don’t support CAN FD protocol. To program modules for new GM CAN FD models via Techline Connect, you will need the new VXDIAG VCX FD J2534 passthru.

 

Here vxdiagshop.com will show how to set up VXDIAG VCX FD with Techline Connect SPS2 for online programming.

First we are going to get the ACDelco Techline Connect software. We'll just open up your browser type in ACDelcoTDS, go log in or register. If you don't have an account you can click Don't have an account and sign up.

VXDIAG VCX FD SPS2 Not Connect with Chevrolet Corvette 2021?

Problem:

Set up the vxdiag vcx nano gm j2534 with Techline Connect SPS2. Tried to program ECU module on a Chevrolet Corvette 2021, VIN: 1G1YB3D45M5103363.

If select vcx passthru, it will read VIN, if select MDI, it cannot read VIN.

Firmware and license are up-to-date. Any idea?

VXDIAG SPS2 Not Connect with Chevrolet Corvette 2021 3


Here is the clue.

Chevrolet Corvette 2021 is the new CAN FD model. VXDIAG VCX NANO and VCX SE does not support CAN FD protcol.

The VXDIAF VCX FD GM scanner supports CAN FD communication.

If use VCX FD but still don’t have communication, do the following:

1. Make sure you install the correct vx manager driver for VCX FD
