You Asked for "Out-of-the-Box" Functionality and we Delivered - DG Diagnostics!
Our customers have been asking for a simple diagnostics application that will work with their DPA "right-out-of-the-box"
to display faults, component information and basic vehicle parameters from the J1708/J1587 and CAN/J1939
data buses. DG Technologies has answered the call and is providing these features in an application called "DG Diagnostics".
DG Diagnostics is a great screening/triage tool and is provided free-of-charge with the purchase of
any DPA product. DG Diagnostics works with all DPA adapters past and present, and may reduce your need to purchase
full-featured OEM software.
Take your DPA straight from the box and start generating ROI with some of these features:
- Read and display J1587 and J1939 faults in "text" form. Request clear of inactive J1587 and J1939 faults.
- Display "total-vehicle" and "trip data" such as odometer, engine hours, and fuel economy from the J1587 and J1939 data buses.
- Create a viewable/printable/saveable vehicle report in HTML format showing all information that has been captured.
- Display common "dashboard" parameters such as RPM, temperatures and pressures from the J1587 and J1939 data buses.
- Request reset of J1939 trip information (trip odometer, trip miles, trip fuel, etc).
- Display J1587 and J1939 ECM component information such as VIN, Make, Model, Serial, and Unit Numbers.
- Record data bus data for engineering analysis as well as play that data back internally through the program or externally to the data bus.
- Configure and launch OEM applications directly without having to navigate through the Windows Start Menu.
Below are images showing some of the functionality within the DG Diagnostics application.

J2534 OEM Software Compatibility
The DP 5 Quad-CAN is provided with an SAE J2534-compliant interface (an SAE standard for electronic module reprogramming). The DPA 5 Quad-CAN should be able to reprogram all CAN/ISO15765 vehicles, GM vehicles using the J1850 Variable Pulse Width (VPW) protocol, or other vehicles using the DPA 5 Quad-CAN J2534-supported protocols (i.e. ISO9141/KWP2000).
The DPA 5 Quad-CAN has been validated against the following OEM and component applications:
- General Motors TIS2Web
- Ford Module Programming (FMP)
- Chrysler J2534 Application
- Toyota TIS (Technical Information System)
- Honda Service Express
- Mazda Module Programming (MMP)
- Kia J2534 KMA
- Hyundai 2534 HMA
- Volkswagen Erwin
- Audi Erwin
- Nissan J2534 ECU Reprogramming Software (NERS)
All J2534 reprogramming and diagnostic software packages that are J2534-1 and J2534-2 compliant and use a protocol supported by the DPA 5 Quad-CAN should work as long as the operating system is supported by the application. Note that not all OEMs have released J2534-2 compliant software.
