<strong>VCDS</strong> – Generic OBD2 - Section 23-A<br />
(VAG 1551/1552 Address Word 33)<br />
Generic OBD-II functionality. Because many of VW's recent factory repair manuals no<br />
longer have traditional 01-Engine "On Board Diagnostic" information and have replaced it<br />
with "Generic Scan Tool" data, this has become much more important than it was in the<br />
past. Click each of the Mode buttons to access each OBD-II function.<br />
Generic OBD-II functionality is "Supported" only on VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda<br />
cars. It will likely work on many other brands of cars. We'd be happy to receive feedback<br />
as to what other brands and models of cars it does and does not work on, however, we do<br />
not feel obligated to make it work on other manufacturer's cars.<br />
Generic OBD-II functionality is limited to cars using ISO 9141-2 ("CARB"), ISO 14230<br />
("KWP-2000") and ISO-15765 ("CAN") protocols. None of our interfaces support the<br />
SAE J1850-VPW and J1850-PWM protocols used by most US-market pre-2008 GM and<br />
Ford products, so <strong>VCDS</strong> cannot work at all on those cars. Most early (1996-2000) OBD-II<br />
compatible Chrysler cars used the compatible ISO-9141-2 while many 2001-2007 Chrysler<br />
cars use the incompatible SAE-J1850 standard. Most European and Asian cars use ISO<br />
or CAN and should be compatible. Generic OBD-II compatibility was required as of model<br />
year 1996 in the USA, model year 1998 in Canada, and 2001 (gasoline) or 2004 (diesel) for<br />
in the European Market. All 2008 and newer vehicles sold in the US are required to use<br />
CAN-Bus diagnostics for Generic OBD-II so it shouldn't hurt to try this function on any<br />
brand.
