Features

Our hardware includes a J2534 driver and delivers full-speed (12mps) USB 2.0 performance. This version is compatible with most Ford and newer domestic vehicles. Please verify compatibility before ordering.

Reprogramming

The Mongoose Ford will work with Ford Module Programming (FPM) at motorcraftservice.com to reprogram J1850PWM and CAN Ford modules.

Diagnostics

The mongoose Ford is a USB pass-thru device that utilizes the SAE J2534-1 API. What this means is that the Mongoose Ford uses a standard communications interface to the vehicle, allowing it to work with 3^rd 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 Ford supports all J1850PWM Ford 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 Ford adapter
