Will VXDIAG VCX NANO do Old Ford UBP Protocol?

Question: 

I have a 2003 Ford Expedition, and UBP refers to the communication protocol.   OBDLink MX Bluetooth and Forscan have had very few troubles connecting to several vehicles from early models to more recent MS-CAN equipped models. I wonder if thevxdiag vcx nano ford idsis able to access old Fords with UBP.

 

Answer:

Most other vehicles use CAN, but these older Fords use UBP to communicate with the PCM. Most devices available cannot communicate with UBP.

Obdlink does not support UBP.VXDIAG VCX NANO does not do old UBP Ford either.

Forscan has UBP support as of version 2.3.09 but only for Ford VCM2 Adapters and VCM2 Clones.

Support for UBP protocols in ELM327 based adapters is still being worked on hence the prompt for the switch change if ISO/UBP is expected on the board but to date reading UBP with ELM327 adapters has not been successful!

You need a UBP compatible scan tool. One of the few scan tools with UBP support is Ford VCM II.

VXDIAG VCX NANO Review on Kia J2534 OEM Software

In the previous post, we have a customer successfully test vxdiag vcx nano Ford as a passthru device. Today we tested it on a real car.

Get vxdiag plugged into the OBD port
Turn on ignition switch
Don’t need any type of update always make sure that you have a battery tender or maintainer onto your vehicle so that the battery does not go dead

Then you run KMA program (Kia J2534 Programming Area)
