Modified J2534 DLL Loader for the Think City TechCentre Diagnostic Software
Since the Omitec 3G VCI hardware that the TechCentre Diagnostic Software was designed for is near impossible to find, I have patched the J2534 DLL Loader to work with any J2534 hardware.
Only TechCentre versions below v2.2.0 require patching. TechCentre v2.2.5 works natively with any J2534 adapter.
I have tested fault reading/clearing, live data, and actuator tests. I have not tested key programming or flashing. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Here are the J2534 devices that have been tested and the vehicles modules that they can talk to:
| Name | ABS | BMS | CDCM | EPHS | GEM | PATS | PCU | RAC | SRS | VCU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GODIAG GD101 J2534 | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❔ | ✔️ | n/a | ✔️ | n/a | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Peak PCAN-USB with PCAN-PassThru API | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❔ | n/a | ✔️ | n/a | ✔️ | ✔️ |
Notes:
- PATS and RAC modules were not installed in North America vehicles, so I am unable to test it.
- EPHS function in TechCentre was purportedly never completed, so it may or may not work on your vehicle. It doesn't work for me.
Simply replace the J2534DllLoader.dll file in C:\Program Files\Omitec Ltd\THINK TechCentre and edit the THINKDiagnostics.exe.config file (in the same directory) as follows:
- Use regedit to check the name of your J2534 device in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PassThruSupport.04.04\*your_J2534_device*.
In my case it is "GODIAG - J2534":
- Add your J2534 device to the THINKDiagnostics.exe.config file. The configuration flags differ between ThinkCentre v1.0.3 and v2.0.3:
- For ThinkCentre version 1.0.3:
Edit the "PassThru" key to be your J2534 device name with "_DashOne" appended. In my case it would be "GODIAG - J2534_DashOne":
- For ThinkCentre version 2.0.3:
Edit "PassThruName" key to be your J2534 device name. In my case it would be "GODIAG - J2534":
- (Optional) Replace Omitec.THINKDiagnostics.PlugIns.WebBrowsing.dll to disable loading the defunct think.no homepage (and resultant error popups) in ThinkCentre
