What CARTESIAN does with this unit

The solutions CARTESIAN offers for a file of this unit are those the file itself supports: DPF, EGR, AdBlue, lambda, flaps, start/stop, speed limiter, hot start fix and fault codes one by one by name. The app lists only what the opened file supports and refuses what it cannot change exactly.

Checksum: corrected automatically on every save, so the file is ready to write with your own tool.

Opening the unit: medium difficulty

  • Ordinary circuit board, no gel, in a sealed aluminium housing.
  • On most versions the lid is bonded with a sealant bead and one edge of the board sits in thermal compound; levering there can bend the board.
  • The boot contact on the board is small; overheating it has broken tracks in documented cases.
  • Most versions can be read and written through the connector, so opening is rarely needed.

Advice: Check first whether the job can be done without opening it. If you open it, cut the sealant, never lever on the board, and reseal it afterwards.

General information: units with the same name can differ. Follow your tool's connection guide.
