How to do if the GM MDI cant connect with the software

Posted on by Posted in Professional Diagnostic Tools .

When you use GM MDI on your laptop , you may meet some troubles . Such as it cant communicate with the software . Lets see how to solve this issue .

First, you should make sure the MDI Manager software was installed on laptop well and the MDI must be powered up before you use it to communicate. Also the MDI should be configured for wired internet or wireless communication.

If the MDI can not communicate with the MDI, you should check the cables whether connecting well to the MDI when MDI has completed its power up sequence , the connector pins are clean and the MDI Manager software is running.

If you connect them by using USB, you need check the MDI USB connection is detected by windows. About the solutions,you can connect the MDI to the PC USB port and power up the MDI. Open the Network and Dial-up Connections Window from the Windows Control Panel. Then check for the device name ETAS USB Remote NDIS Network Device. If it is not running, check all USB ports on the PC and verify that the MDI is powered on.

If you connect them by using wireless internet , you should make sure that wireless communication is enabled and the IP configuration is properly set using the MDI Manager software. Then what you need to check is that the USB cable is not plugged in, the MDI is not being used via wired internet and the wireless card is properly seated in the MDI. You can contact your IT department and check that your PC is detecting the wireless access point and the correct security settings have been configured for the MDI.

And if you connect then by using wired internet you need to ensure that the wired internet communication is enabled and configured using the MDI Manager software. Then you should check that the USB cable is not plugged in and the MDI device detects wired internet activity by viewing the lights blinking on the wired internet port of the MDI.

But if you think all these is complex , we recommend that you can buy the MDI with laptop together , so that our engineer can installed the software for you well , and test it with the car first , make sure you can use it directly when you get the machine . By the way , if you dont want to buy the laptop , please confirm your laptop must be the one after 2008 year , E49 laptop will be better .

How will The MDI for GM Be Used?
The new Professional Diagnostic Tools GM MDI can be used only in the Pass-Thru method. This means you can use it as your programming tool, while your Tech 2/CANDY remains available for diagnostics and other duties.

The GM MDI is initially being introduced with Pass-Thru programming capabilities only. It can be used to perform Pass-Thru programming on all vehicles built since 1996 and will support all vehicles into the future.

The GM MDI will be required to perform diagnostics on selected NAO vehicles for model year 2009. Diagnostic software is scheduled to be released for the GM MDI during the fourth quarter of 2008. Regulations require programming procedures to be compliant with SAE Recommended Practice J2534.

The GM SPS is compliant with SAE Recommended Practice J2534, and the GM MDI is compliant with the portions of SAE J2534 that are applicable for GM vehicles.

5 Ways to solve John Deere Service Advisor Search Engine Error

Posted on by Posted in Professional Diagnostic Tools .

Here is some solution for John Deere Service Advisor system appears error message that the search engine module can not be loaded and then the program ends when you run it.

NOTE THAT YOU ARE TRYING ANY TRICK ON YOUR OWN RISK.

Optional solutions:

Solution 1:

Run as system administrator, roll back pc date reactivate using activator Then roll date back to normal date if error still renew once again. Been working for me so far.

Note that, don’t know how long it stay working but works im sure someone will have solution for it soon.

Also advice if doing fresh install roll back the date on pc do the install after then install and activations have been done.
Go to task manager look for the service adviser on have it start its tasks in 2030 :save and then reset your pc date should be good for while

Solution 2:

if you set a date before the lightweightidol license expired, start the lightweightidol service, set the real date and start Advisor, it works.

Solution 3:

start advisor. when error comes with “search engine” Close SA. afterwards set your PC date to feburary 2015. start SA again (run as administrator). it now comes with error on licence. close SA Again. set pc date back to normal. run SA Again. now it Works.

Solution 4:

The search engine error can be solved.
Set back the date, before the expiry date found in Service ADVISOR\SUIR\license.log (august 14 in my case). Start LightweightIDOL service. Set the real date, and Advisor working again.
I made a batch file to simplify it. To make it work Control Panel/Regional/short date format have to be yyyy-mm-dd or you have to modify batch. Maybe you have to modify ServiceADVISOR.exe path too in the batch. Have to run as administrator.

Sa.rar

Solution 5:

I have had the same error with ssearch engine connection in JD SA.
reinstalled it twice, changed system date back and forward, run activator. No result for me.

But actually I found the solution for this issue.
Just need to install july update from the post http://mhhauto.com/Thread-John-Deere-Ser…#pid758969
And the error disappeared.

newer data discs (2016/02)

Solution 6:

back date to 08.10.16
install JD SA, restart, activate, mount latest disk you have (05.2016) and install update, for finish get license error, ignore and close, set actualy date, run JD SA -> works fine, install july update testing today on 3 laptops (Windows 7 and 10)

On a side note: procedure about turning off the updates

don’t know how long it stay working but works im sure someone will have solution for it soon.

Professional Diagnostic Tools Also advice if doing fresh install roll back the date on pc do the install after then install and activations have been done.
goto task manager look for the service adviser on have it start its tasks in 2030 :save and then reset your pc date should be good for while Smile (SO TURN IT OFF IN TASKMANAGER SO IT STARTS 20 30 YEARS FROM NOW!!)

Fresh new installations also work but can be much more complicated sure a patch would be much easier. But it can be done with out a patch so far

In taskmanager I don’t stop any service just put service advisor updater to 2030 to start

also makes sure eculp.ini configurator reads like this

A valid ECULP License has been found

Licenses for the following modes have been found:
TestCell Programming
FinalEOL Programming
Service Programming
ECUCPP Programming Tool

All JD Components were found and properly licensed

GM Bosch Vetronix HP Tech 2 with CANDI

Posted on by Posted in Professional Diagnostic Tools .

Being I have owned some of these units. Can offer some advice…

GM Tech 1, GM Tech 1a. Early and latter versions. Built and software by Vetronix. Petty much obsolite tool. GM coverage ended in 1997. ‘Valuable’ units would be with a GM MSC (mass storage cartridge thru 1997) or Global OBDII powertrain cartridge. MSC requires a VIM module for OBDII for 1994-1997.

I still have a Tech 1a with Global OBDII. Works on 2001 Cadillac, 2003 Saturn. Does not seem to work on 2005 Ford Mustang. Powertrain only.

Not worth much..

GM Tech 2. Info is correct about Hewlett Packard, Vetronix, and Bosch. Currently owned by Bosch.

There are GM logo versions, Saturn logo versions, MAC Tool, and OTC tool versions.

Early units used 10mb memory card. Current unit requires 32mb card. 2003 and newer require CAN adapter also know as a CANDI unit.

1996-1997. Ford and Chrysler software ‘was’ available.

Currently a GM ‘only’ tool. In 1996, it seemed like a very fast tool. Now, think 15 year old laptop.

Can access all systems. Air bag, abs, powertrian etc. Can program ‘welcome’ message on IPC etc.

GM Tech 2 cannot collect crash data from the air bag SDM. That requires a different tool: The Bosch CDR. The GM Tech 2 is considered a diagnostic tool, the Bosch CDR is considered a forenstic tool.

$8-9K for a GM Tech 2? There should be a law. In 1996 a new unit was $2600.

Bosch has a bulletin issued about fake China units. Stay away!

The real fire sale on GM Tech 2’s was about 6 months ago. GM went bankrupt. Thousand of GM dealers were closing…we bought 2 Tech 2’s from Saturn of Aurora for $1100 with 1 CANDI. One unit worked, one did not. Pretty good deal.

From the 2 units. We built one working ‘best of’ unit with CANDI. The other unit was parted out on eBay…paying for both. Great deal for us.

Be aware: Used dealership units are “played with hard and put away wet.” Pretty rough use.

IMO. EBay units are way overpriced. Your best bet is if a nearby GM or Saturn dealer is closing. Inquire about any  Professional Diagnostic Tools Tech 2’s that may be available.

The only reason we found ours was from a different auction for a kent moore timing belt tool. We asked if they had any Tech 2’s. Uhhh…yeah we do..

Search for GM dealers closing shop. On eBay, search Kent Moore tools, J tools, AC tools, transmission tools etc. Hoists, tire changers etc.

As mentioned, 6 months ago there were some deals. My local Saturn dealer is, for now, still open. Many GM dealers may actually be able to hang on. What, maybe another 700 GM dealers get to stay on. That said, most that are closing, have closed.

Find the Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer dealers closing shop.

GM MDI VS GM Tech2 Scan tool

Posted on by Posted in Professional Diagnostic Tools .

Since 2006, rumor has it that gm tech ii scan tool will be replaced by GM MDI (Multiple Diagnostic Interface), a new piece of equipment coming out to work alongside the Tech 2, but today we still can find Tech 2 in GM forums, where drivers are hesitate between MDI and Tech2. Here I will analyze the difference between the two tools and reveal the reason why Tech2 is not be replaced.

GM MDI is a diagnostic and programming device. Apart from diagnosing 1990 to 2013 GM, Opel, Chevrolet and Saab, it also supports TIS2Web, GM Global Diagnostics System (GDS), SPS and MDI Manager Software, European Chevrolet offline programming, SPS programming on existing and future SGM vehicles, and will be able to do remote programming with the Tech 2 for all 2007 and previous vehicles in the near future. Using the GM MDI for programming can free up your Tech 2 for diagnostics and other tasks.Professional Diagnostic Tool GM Tech 2 mainly supports diagnosing; with TIS 2000 CD in the package, it can also do programming. But it cannot program as many systems as GDI.

Autonumen.com GM MDI Scan tool works with a PC. It takes advantage of all those new PCs installed in the service bays under the Multiple PC Initiative and is able to communicate with a laptop via both USB and WiFi so that users can put MDI in a vehicle in the parking lot and communicate with it my PC.Tech2 is a hand held device and communicates vehicles via USB cable, no additional PC is needed. It is very easy to carry and use.

The GM MDI offers faster programming speed at a lower cost. Depending on vehicle architecture (protocols/modules), the GM MDI can be 20-70% faster than the Tech 2. This helps alleviate vehicle battery drain problems during programming.
