Breakdown of parts/systems that typically require a Tech 2 for proper function or replacement:
Security & Immobilizer Systems:
- Key fobs & Transponder Keys: Programming new keys and remote fobs to the security system.
- TWICE Module: Replacing the module requires using the Tech 2 for spare parts programming and configuration (including market, theft alarm, body style, etc.).
- Car Alarm/Central Locking: Tech2 allows customization of alarm and central locking functions, such as siren volume, number of blinks on locking/unlocking, and automatic locking behavior.
Electronic Control Units (ECUs):
- ABS Module: Reading ABS fault codes & programming or marrying a new ABS module to the car
- Engine Control Unit (ECU): While some alternatives exist for cloning or flashing certain ECU types, the Tech 2 is typically used for programming and security-related procedures after replacing an ECU.
- Other modules: adding or making significant adjustments to any control modules in the car (e.g., transmission control module) may require security access via TIS 2000 or GlobalTIS, which is used with the Tech 2.
Other Programmable Functions:
- Speedometer Calibration: Tech2 can recalibrate the speedometer if wheel size is changed.
- Maintenance Reminder Reset: Service messages and reminders can be reset using the Tech 2.
- Software Updates: The Tech 2, often with TIS 2000 or GlobalTIS software and connection to a computer, can be used to update vehicle software and firmware.
