Diagnostics
The mongoose ISO
is a USB pass-thru device that utilizes the SAE J2534-1 API.
What this means is that the Mongoose ISO
uses a standard communications interface to the vehicle,
allowing it to work with 3rd party diagnostic
applications. Different diagnostics and data logging
applications supported are currently supported by the Mongoose,
with more being added all of the time.
Drew Tech stocks and
sells a 3rd party diagnostics and data logging application
called PCMScan separately for $99.95.
With PCMScan you can retrieve and clear DTC codes, view and
record PID data, and perform other general diagnostics. PCMScan
running on Mongoose ISO supports all
ISO141 import vehicles and all CAN
vehicles from GM, Ford, BMW, Honda,
Toyota, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Volvo, Volkswagen, and
many other automaker brands. By 2008 all vehicles on the road
will be CAN based and supported by the
Mongoose ISO/CAN adapter
