Scan Tool Information Gaps

• At this time no company has refused to provide
  information
• Gaps still exist and in some cases they are
  significant. However, the process is working.
• There are licensing issues to work out. In some
  cases scan tool companies are still finding it
  difficult to sign some of the more difficult
  license agreements. The issue is not always the
  fee.

Actual reprogramming information availability

• OEMs need to explain where they are concerning
  J2534 implementation.
• Is J2534 application software available?
• If so, how are calibrations purchased?
• Does the application apply to the April 2004
  version of the J2534 or only the older February
  2002 version?
• It was agreed that information pertaining to
  J2534 availability should be made available on
  free side of each OEMs website.

12
Actual reprogramming information availability

• It was also agreed that the reprogramming summary
  document will be changed to add columns to track
  whether or not this is true for each OEM.
• Someone from the Committee will take another pass
  at the OEM websites to see if, how to reprogram
  using J2534, information is available
• In each case where information is difficult to
  locate, the OEM will be contacted before changing
  the summary document.
• The Summary document will be updated to reflect
  current status.

13
New OEM J2534 Info Availability Chart

• Three questions
• Question 1 - Have you made J2534 application
  software available to the aftermarket and can
  J2534 reprogramming be performed using a non-OEM
  J2534 device, yes or no? 
• Question 2 - Is J2534 reprogramming capability
  information available on the free part of your
  website, yes or no? 
• Question 3 - Does the free part of your website
  contain information regarding whether or not a
  particular vehicle requires reprogramming, yes or
  no?
• None of these questions attempt to evaluate
  whether the OEM software and aftermarket devices
  work. This has only to do with information.
