Validation has been done using the following J2534 pass-thru devices: The hardware used to validate VIDA's compliance with J2534 can be purchased separately from third-party suppliers.

J2534-2 manages software download to control modules on both CAN HS and CAN MS (Controller Area Network Middle Speed).

J2534-1 manages software to control modules on CAN HS (Controller Area Network High Speed) that are emission related.

J2534-1 can be used to download software to vehicles from, and Including, model year 2004.

There are two different versions of J2534: J2534 devicesįor all vehicles with model year 2004 and later, equipped with OBD and reprogramming capability, manufacturers shall comply with SAE J2534. One VIDA workstation with four DiCEs can thus handle four vehicles simultaneously.

It is possible to connect more than one DiCE to VIDA and download software to as many as three vehicles in parallel and have one vehicle in the diagnostic workflow at the same time. Please note that no third party Bluetooth dongles can be used with DiCE, only Volvo Cars DiCE equipment can be used. A USB cable can be used as an alternative to the Bluetooth connection. Volvo Car Corporation recommends DiCE for vehicle communication with D2 and GGD protocol-based vehicles.ĭiCE uses a Bluetooth connection to transfer information between VIDA and the vehicle.

A vehicle communication tool transfers data from a VIDA workstation to the correct receiver in the vehicle.

All older vehicles can still use DiCE or J2534 scan tools.

Please reference SMB 00-337Service Product Journal 29954.

Starting with the introduction of the SPA vehicle platform (XC90 (16-) the communication protocol is different.
