DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual (DGDPA5MA)

1. Safety First

It is essential that the user read this document carefully before using the hardware.

The DPA devices are to be used by those trained in the troubleshooting and diagnostics of light-duty through heavy-duty vehicles. The user is assumed to have a very good understanding of the electronic systems contained on the vehicles and the potential hazards related to working in a shop-floor environment.

DG understands that there are numerous safety hazards that cannot be foreseen, so we recommend that the user read and follow all safety messages in this manual, on all of your shop equipment, from your vehicle manuals, as well as internal shop documents and operating procedures.

Always block drive, steer, and trailer wheels both front and back when testing.

Use extreme caution when working around electricity. When diagnosing any vehicle, there is the risk of electric shock both from battery-level voltage, vehicle voltages, and from building voltage.

Do not smoke or allow sparks or open flames near any part of the vehicle fueling system or vehicle batteries.

Always work in an adequately ventilated area, and route vehicle exhaust outdoors.

Do not use this product in an environment where fuel, fuel vapor, exhaust fumes, or other potentially hazardous liquids, solids, or gas/vapors could collect and/or possibly ignite, such as in an unventilated area or other confined space, including below-ground areas.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual (DGDPA5MA)

2. Introducing the DPA 5

The DPA 5 products are used to connect vehicle and equipment communication networks to personal computers (PCs).

This allows programs written for the PC to retrieve pertinent information such as fault codes, component information, as well as perform component level diagnostics, tests, and component reprogramming. The DPA 5 communicates with the

PC using either a USB cable or via Bluetooth (Class I or Class II), and comes standard with Technology and Maintenance

Council (TMC) Recommended Practice (RP) RP1210C-compliant drivers, as well as Society of Automotive Engineers

(SAE) J2534-compliant drivers.

DPA 5 with Dual CAN Channels with Bluetooth Communications

DPA 5 with Quad CAN Channels

No Bluetooth Communications

The DPA 5 Dual-CAN / Bluetooth device is the most commonly sold DG DPA 5 product. This manual is geared more to this product; however, the concepts also apply to the DPA 5 Quad-CAN. Distinctions will be made as appropriate.

Before switching communications modes from USB to

Bluetooth and vice-versa, the DPA 5 Dual-CAN /

Bluetooth must be powered off and then back on.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual (DGDPA5MA)

2.1. RP1210 OEM Software Compatibility

The adapter you have purchased is provided with a Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) RP1210C compliant (backwards compatible with RP1210B and RP1210A) interface and has been validated against the following OEM and component applications:

Allis on DOC™

Bendix® ACOM

Caterpillar® Electronic Technician

Cummins® Insite™

Dana Diagnostic Tool™

Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link™

Detroit Diesel Reprogramming Station™

International® Diamond Logic Builder

International® InTune

International® Master Diagnostics

International® ServiceMaxx

Mack and Volvo VCADS/PTT

Meritor-WABCO Toolbox

Vansco VMMS

Eaton ServiceRanger

Freightliner ServiceLink

ZF-Meritor TransSoft

Any application claiming RP1210A, RP1210B, or RP1210C compliance should work if the application and adapter both support the same protocol(s) and operating system(s).

2.1. J2534 OEM Software Compatibility

The adapter you have purchased is provided with an SAE J2534-compliant interface (an SAE standard for electronic module reprogramming

– sometimes call the “Pass Thru Programming” standard). The DPA 5 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 J2534-supported protocols (i.e. ISO9141/KWP2000).

The DPA 5 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

Kia J2534 KMA

Hyundai 2534 HMA

Volkswagen Erwin

Audi Erwin

Nissan J2534 ECU Reprogramming Software (NERS)

 Mazda Module Programming (MMP)

All J2534 reprogramming and diagnostic software packages that are J2534-1 and J2534-2 compliant and use a protocol supported by the DPA 5 should work as long as the operating system is supported by the application.

Note that not all OEMs have released J2534-2 compliant software.

2.2.3. RP1210_ClientConnect() Modifiers Supported (CAN Automatic Baud Rate Detection, Channel)

The DPA 5 supports automatic CAN baud rate detection as required by RP1210C in preparation for J1939 moving from a speed of 250k to 500k. To support this, the DPA 5 API supports this through an application issuing a modifier to the RP1210_ClientConnect() function call (for any CAN protocol): o

RP1210_ClientConnect( “J1939:Baud=Auto”) o

RP1210_ClientConnect( “CAN:Baud=Auto”) o

RP1210_ClientConnect( “ISO15765:Baud=Auto”) o

RP1210_ClientConnect( “J2284:Baud=Auto”)

If the application wants to know what speed they connected at, they can issue the command: o RP1210_SendCommand(RP1210_Get_Protocol_Connection_Speed)

The DPA 5 supports 2 (Dual CAN) or 4 (Quad CAN) CAN (J1939/ISO15765/J2284) channels. To access these channels, the DPA 5 API supports this through an application issuing a modifier to the RP1210_ClientConnect() function call: o

RP1210_ClientConnect( “J1939:Channel=X”)

These two modifiers can be combined. F or example, “J1939:Baud=Auto;Channel=2”.

3. Explaining Multi-Application and Single-Application Drivers

This release of the DPA drivers supports multiple applications running simultaneously (i.e. sharing the DPA) through the

DGDPA5MA drivers. For example, there may be a time where you need to run an engine and transmission application at the same time or there may be a need to run a data logging application alongside your engine diagnostics. It has been

DG’s experience that when several OEM applications are running simultaneously, especially on a crowded J1939 data bus, they sometimes miss critical timing events and messages and do not behave as they would normally.

3.1. Why Two OEM Applications May Not Work when Sharing the DPA

Running two or more OEM applications that were not designed to share an adapter in a situation where they are in fact sharing the adapter is a hit-or-miss scenario. They might work well together and they may not. The two big reasons some work well together and others don't is J1939 addressing and timing related.

3.1.1. J1939 Addressing Issues

Per SAE J1939, every ECM or application using a VDA must go through a process to claim a J1939 address.

According to J1939, before an ECM or application can send or receive long messages (greater than the standard

8-byte CAN messages); an address must be claimed. These long messages are sent using what is called the

J1939 Transport Protocol (TP). Long messages are used for data such as make, model, serial number, VIN, and for reprogramming and calibration (very common in OEM diagnostic applications).

The past RP1210 specifications (RP1210-0, RP1210A, and RP1210B) implied that a Vehicle Diagnostic Adapter

(VDA) should have only 1 J1939 address. This means the VDA will handshake for TP messages to/from 1 specific J1939 address. This meant that if one application claims 249 and another application connected while

sharing the VDA (i.e. Multi-Application mode) and claimed address 250; one address will get dropped. This means that only one of those applications will be capable of sending and receiving long TP messages. If the application that had its address get dropped depends on these long TP messages, it may not behave properly.

Another problem is that some OEM applica tions don’t handle the RP1210 return value "ERR_ADDRESS_LOST" when they lose their claimed J1939 address. The application may keep running oblivious to the fact they are not going to get any long messages; no matter how many times they request them.

The DPA 5 multi-application (MA) drivers behave in a semi-shared-addressing scenario. If the first application claims an address like 249, and the second application claims 249, then both apps will get TP messages destined for 249. If the second application were to claim 250, it would be denied.

3.1.2. Timing Related Issues

The second most common reason that two OEM applications don't work well together is timing. OEM applications expect to send a message out and read a response back from a controller in “X” amount of time. When two or more applications are sharing the VDA, messages are stacked for sending in some sort of a transmit buffer and received messages are also stacked in a receive buffer (commonly called a queue). When you stack message requests and responses, this slows down the send/receive process and many applications timeout because of it.

The more applications sharing the VDA, the more potential there is for a delay or timeout scenario.

3.1.3. OEM Applications are NOT Tested in a Shared VDA Scenario

NO OEM APPLICATIONS CLAIM TO BE MULTI-APPLICATION CAPABLE!

None of them test with another OEM application running. They assume that they are the only application running on that PC through the VDA they are using.

This is why if you want to run multiple apps at the same time, some apps have to be started first before the second application. Sometimes, they just won't work no matter what you do!

6. Automatic Firmware Update (Step 6 of 6)

When a DPA PC drivers release is made, a specific set of DPA firmware is validated with that release. In this release the firmware that was validated can be found on the cover page of this manual.

DG strongly recommends that users keep their DPA up-to-date with the latest firmware revision.

Automatic Firmware Update is an option that is most likely turned On in your installation. Some customers receive special drivers where this is not the case, however this paragraph assumes that this option is turned on, and set to a value of 1. To learn more about this option, see the chapter entitled Modifying DPA Settings

– RP1210 Options Program.

After you have finished installing the Windows device drivers (Step 5 of 6) you can begin using your DPA. If the

Automatic Firmware Update option is on (by default, it is), every time you connect to the DPA, the drivers check to see if a newer version of firmware is available on the hard drive. If a newer version is available the user will be prompted (see

Figure 6.1) to upgrade to that version. If the user selects Yes, the upgrade process begins automatically. When the upgrade process is complete, the connect sequence for that application will continue. Most applications can handle the delay; however there is a possibility that the user may have to restart their application.

The following is the dialog box that will be displayed if out-of-date firmware is detected. We recommend pressing Yes and upgrading.

7. Setting Up Your RP1210-Compliant OEM Diagnostic Applications

The DPA works with all RP1210A, RP1210B, and RP1210C compliant applications that support J1708/J1587,

CAN/J1939, J1850 VPW (GM Class II) and the ISO15765 protocols. The DPA also works with applications that were specifically written to use the DG non-RP1210-compliant native drivers for other protocols, such as GM UART and

ISO9141. This section shows how to configure the most common RP1210-compliant diagnostic applications to work with the DPA 5.

7.1. Notes on Selecting an RP1210 Compliant Adapter

Selecting a RP1210 adapter, commonly referred to as a Vehicle Datalink Adapter (VDA) varies widely from application to application; however, the terminology remains pretty much the same. The following table helps to introduce you to the terminology and helps you to make the correct selections the first time.

You must set up every application (in their own individual way) to use the DPA!

Not all OEM applications save the adapter configuration! Some make the user select the adapter to be used every time the application is opened.

9. Troubleshooting / Validating Your DPA with Adapter Validation Tool (AVT)

If your OEM diagnostic application is having trouble using the DPA after following the instructions for configuring that application, you can use the DG Adapter Validation Tool (AVT) to troubleshoot the DPA and validate that the DPA drivers are installed properly, the PC can communicate with the DPA, and the DPA can see message traffic on the data bus that your OEM diagnostic application is trying to use.

 Most DPA technical support calls about OEM applications not working come from users who have not configured that OEM application to use the DPA, or who have selected the incorrect protocol. o The quick rule of thumb for selecting a protocol is the type of connector you are connecting to:

J1708 Connector (6-pin Deutsch) J1939 Connector (9-pin Deutsch)

This connector only has the J1708/J1587 protocol.

OEMs switched to this connector when they moved to J1939. J1708 may not be available.

There are typically three problem areas with RP1210 VDA devices. Each problem is discussed in the following sections:

9.1. Connection-Related Issues

After you have followed the instructions in this manual to install the DPA drivers, connect the DPA to the vehicle and ensure the Power LED is on. Then connect it to the PC and listen for the familiar dading “USB device found” sound. If you cannot hear this sound, the PC cannot communicate with the DPA and you will most likely end up not being able to get AVT to be successful. Try another USB port until you hear that sound.

Run AVT either from the Adapter Validation Tool link on your desktop, or from the Start Programs menu.

Then click the Run Test button. Depending on the results of the test, both the RP1210 Status Window and

RP1210 Data Message Window will turn green (pass) or red (fail).

9.1.1. AVT Test Outcomes

If the RP1210 Status Window turns red , then there is a problem causing the PC not to communicate with the

DPA. This may be something as simple as having power to the DPA or a USB issue. Disconnect the DPA from the vehicle and PC; then reconnect them, this time connecting to another USB port on the PC.

If the RP1210 Status Window turns green and the RP1210 Data Message Window turns red , then the PC is seeing the DPA, but not seeing messages from the data bus. Check the vehicle ignition switch and vehicle to adapter cabling. Disconnect the DPA from the vehicle and PC; then reconnect them.

If you see data in the RP1210 Data Message Window, your DPA is installed and functioning properly! Refer to the chapter on how to configure your OEM application to use the DPA.

Read the Test Results Discussion and Next Steps screen carefully and follow those directions to help diagnose where the issue may be. If, after reading and following those instructions, you cannot get the DPA working, please contact DG technical support.

Many DPA technical support calls could have been avoided by following the instructions on the Test

Results Discussion and Next Steps screen.

9.1.2. Good Connection (PC to DPA), Good Read of Data (DPA to Vehicle) – Green/Green

The above screen snapshots show the PC successfully connecting to the DPA (RP1210 Status Window) and the successful reading of data bus data (RP1210 Data Message Window) from the J1939 data bus.

A Green/Green result indicates the DPA is working perfectly and is seeing data on the data bus. The area to work on is configuring the OEM application to use the DPA (see Chapter 7).

Page 27 of 61 © 2010-2013 Dearborn Group, Inc.

9.1.3. Good Connection (PC to DPA), Not Able To Read Data (DPA to Vehicle) – Green/Red

The above screen snapshots show the PC successfully connecting to the DPA (RP1210 Status Window) but AVT is not able to read data bus data (RP1210 Data Message Window) from the data bus selected (J1939).

A Green/Red result indicates the DPA is working perfectly, but it is not seeing data on the data bus that was selected. Choose another protocol and check that the ignition switch is on.

9.1.4. Bad Connection (PC to DPA), Not Able To Read Data (DPA to Vehicle) – Red/Red

The above screen snapshots show the PC not connecting to the DPA (RP1210 Status Window).

A Red/Red result indicates the PC is not seeing the DPA. Unplug DPA from vehicle and PC and reconnect to both using a different USB port. Ensure that you hear the dading “USB Device Found” sound. If you cannot hear the sound, reboot the PC and run AVT again. DG has been getting a lot of

DPA technical support calls where OEM applications crash and keep the DPA device open.

9.2. Not Seeing DPA in OEM Application VDA Selection List

If you have installed the DPA drivers and can get AVT to a Green/Green outcome, you should be able to configure your diagnostic application to use the DPA. If your diagnostic application does not display DG DPA 5

Dual-CAN, USB in their VDA selection dialog box, this could indicate one of three things:

1. The application is not RP1210 compliant and does not work with the DPA. a. Some applications require a specific, proprietary adapter.

2. Application is RP1210 compliant, but DPA does not support the protocol needed.

3. Problem with the main RP121032 INI file. a. Some VDAs create issues with the RP121032 INI file when they install/uninstall. b. Many OEM diagnostic applications are aware of this issue and can read through the errors.

When the AVT software is launched, you will be told if a problem exists in the main RP121032 INI file. If you wish to fix this issue ( very highly recommended ), press the Fix/Change RP121032.INI File button on the main screen.

If your PC is running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you will be prompted for administrator privileges. The following is the dialog box that will appear when AVT is launched and a problem is found in the main RP121032

INI file.

When you press the Fix/Change RP121032.INI File button, AVT will bring up a separate program called

Fix INI that will allow you to view and fix the RP121032 INI file if there are errors detected. You can also change the VDA that appears first in the list of the OEM diagnostic software applications.

In the example below, a bad INI file was detected (depicted by a yellow background). Note the multiple commas and spaces between entries.

Click the Make Changes button and the INI file problem will be corrected. If you wish to make a specific adapter first in the list, you can select that vendor in the Vendor to Make First in List before pressing the

Make Changes button.

The next picture shows the dialog box indicating that the INI file was fixed.

9.3. USB-Related Issues

If you plug in a DPA (or any other USB device) and get the New Hardware Found wizard, do not click cancel. Go through the wizard completely! IF YOU SELECT Cancel, THE DPA WILL NOT WORK!

Windows has many USB eccentricities that are generally solved by unplugging a device and then plugging that device back in. Sometimes you have to plug that device into another USB port.

With the J1939 data bus moving to 500k, there is a lot of RP1210 and J1939 committee focus on VDA vendors doing J1939 automatic baud detection to detect either a 250k or 500k J1939 data bus without creating issues.

There is also a growing need for advanced testing on vehicles that have a second CAN data bus.

The DPA 5 API Supports the following commonly used RP1210_ClientConnect() modifications:

Protocol:Baud=Auto

Protocol:Baud=XXX

Protocol:Channel=X

Protocol:Baud=Auto;Channel=X

Protocol:Baud=XXX;Channel=X

Pressing the Advanced Test button brings up the dialog box shown below.

Page 30 of 61 © 2010-2013 Dearborn Group, Inc.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual

9.4.1. Vendor, Device, Protocol

Vendor, Device and Protocol fields are the same as described in normal testing above.

9.4.2. Baud Rate Drop Down List Box

The Baud Rate drop down list box allows the user to select one of the supported protocol speeds for the selected protocol. The entries in this list box com e from the VDA vendor’s INI file. Click the Use Baud Rate checkbox to activate a “Protocol:Baud=XXX” connection. If both the Use Baud Rate and Use Channel checkboxes are checked, then AVT will initiate a “Protocol:Baud=XXX;Channel=X” connection.

9.4.3. Channel Drop Down List Box

The Channel drop down list box allows the user to select one of the supported channels for the selected device.

The entries in this list box come from the VDA vendor’s INI file. Click the Use Channel checkbox to activate a

“Protocol:Channel=X” connection. If both the Use Baud Rate and Use Channel checkboxes are checked, then

AVT will initiate a “Protocol:Baud=XXX;Channel=X” connection.

9.4.4. Vendor Supports CAN Auto Baud Checkbox

This checkbox indicates whether or not the API supports CAN (CAN, J1939, ISO15765) automatic baud detection. Even though this variable may be set to TRUE, the next four fields indicate whether the API supports

Baud=XXX connect formats for CAN, J1939, and ISO15765. This field is just an informational field, and not all

VDA vendors will support this feature.

9.4.5. Protocols Supporting Baud=XXX

These checkboxes indicate whether or not the API supports setting a specific baud rate (or automatic baud detection) for a specific protocol. These entries come from the VDA vendor’s INI file. These fields are just for informational purposes. Not all VDA vendors will support this feature.

9.4.6. Advanced Testing Commands – No Error Checking

When using this dialog box to initiate an advanced test, there is no error checking done to prevent the user from initiating a “Baud=XXX” or “Channel=X” connection to a VDA even if the vendor does not support that connection format.

10. J2534 - Troubleshooting Your DPA

There are typically three problem areas with J2534 VDA devices. Each problem is discussed in following sections:

10.1. Connection-Related Issues

After you have installed the DPA drivers and connected the DPA to both the PC and vehicle, make sure that the

DPA Power LED is turned on. Run the J2534 Adapter Validation Tool (JVT) to ensure that the PC is able to communicate with the DPA, and that the DPA is able to see vehicle data bus traffic.

Start  Programs  Dearborn Group Products  DPA 5 J2534  J2534 Validation Tool

Select the correct Device:

Device DPA 5

– Dearborn Group, Inc.

Protocol OBDII or Specific Protocol o Using the OBD II protocol selection means that JVT will attempt to connect using all OBD II protocols that the selected adapter supports (i.e. J1850VPW, ISO9141, ISO14230, ISO15765, etc) and with all

OBD II options and OBD II speeds for that protocol (i.e. CAN 1Mb 11-bit, CAN 1Mb 29-bit, CAN

500Kb 11-bit, CAN 500Kb 29-bit, etc). DG recommends using the OBDII protocol setting initially since all vehicles after 1996 have to support an OBD II protocol. o You can also use a specifi c protocol (i.e. “CAN” as above), and JVT will connect using all speeds and options for that individual protocol.

Then click the Run Test button. Depending on the results of the test, both the J2534 Status Window and J2534

Data Message Window will turn green (pass) or red (fail).

10.1.1. JVT Test Outcomes

If the J2534 Status Window turns red, then there is a problem causing the PC not to communicate with the adapter. This may be something as simple as having power to the adapter or having a USB cabling issue.

Disconnect the adapter from the vehicle and PC; then reconnect them, this time connecting to another USB port on the PC.

If the J2534 Status Window turns green and the J2534 Data Message Window turns red, then the PC is seeing the adapter, but not seeing messages from the vehicle. Check the vehicle ignition switch and vehicle to adapter cabling; disconnect the adapter from the vehicle and PC; then reconnect them.

Page 32 of 61 © 2010-2013 Dearborn Group, Inc.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual

If you see data in the J2534 Data Message Window, then the adapter is installed and functioning properly.

If after following the Test Results Discussion and Next Steps screen, you cannot get the adapter to read data, contact DG technical support.

10.1.2. Good Connection (PC to DPA), Good Read of Data (DPA to Vehicle) – Green/Green

The above screen snapshots show the PC successfully connecting to the DPA and the successful reading of data bus data from the CAN data bus. Once the test is complete, the application will display an informational screen

(image on the right) listing steps to potentially correct the issue.

10.1.3. Good Connection (PC to DPA), Not Able To Read Data (DPA to Vehicle) – Green/Red

The above screen snapshots show the PC successfully connecting to the DPA but the application is not able to read data bus data from the data bus selected (CAN). Once the test is complete, the application will display an informational screen (image on the right) listing steps to potentially correct the issue.

11. RP1210 Options Program

The RP1210 Options program allows you to set and configure various aspects of the DPA 5. The following sections describe the roles of the variables. The DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility is discussed later.

11.1. RP1210 Options Notes; RP1210 DPA Driver Sets

Version 2.0 (and higher versions) of the RP1210 Options program adds the capability of modifying the settings for all

DPA driver sets that are installed on your computer. Version 2.53 (and higher) added support for the DG d-briDGe product and DG Netbridge products. Below is a table that briefly describes each driver.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual

11.2. Set Options for DPA Device/API

When selecting RP1210 Options from the program menu of an installed DPA driver set, the program should default this field to that particular DPA driver set. Note that you can only modify driver sets that have been installed.

If you want to modify an option for any DPA driver set, you select that DPA driver set with this field.

11.3. J1939 Fast Transport Layer (FAST_TRANSPORT Option)

When this option is in the On (Default) position, it significantly decreases reprogramming and reflashing times over the J1939 data bus by reducing the amount of time between J1939 transport protocol (TP) packets (used to break large messages into CAN 8-byte packets for transmitting on the data bus). With this option turned on, however, some

PC applications and vehicle controllers may not be able to keep up with the DPA.

This option has long existed, and many OEM and component manufacturers using the DPA for end of line (EOL) programming stations have used it successfully. If you encounter a diagnostic or reprogramming/reflashing application that is having problems with the DPA using the J1939 protocol, we recommend setting this parameter temporarily to the Off position and then retrying the application.

This parameter makes little, if any, difference during standard diagnostic sessions.

11.4. Debug Logging Level (RP1210 INI Option DebugLevel)

This is an RP1210B introduced INI file option designed to record vehicle data bus data and other pertinent driver data to a text file. Chances are you will never need to use this, DebugFile, DebugFileSize, and DebugMode options unless you are directed by an OEM or DG to investigate possible software issues. Potential values for this option are:

0 = No Debugging to be Accomplished (Default).

1 = Only Connect/Disconnect/Error Messages.

2 = Add RP1210_SendCommand Calls.

3 = Add all Sent Messages (with Filtering).

4 = Add all Received Messages (with Filtering).

Changing this value to something besides 0 (the default) will cause the DPA drivers to start logging DPA driver and vehicle data bus data to the DebugFile based on the selected value.

11.5. Debug File Name (RP1210 INI Option DebugFile)

When DebugLevel is on (1-4), this is the file that will receive the data logging output in text format. This file is in

ASCII and can be read using a text editor. The default value for this option is in the Windows temporary directory, with a filename appropriate for the driver set.

11.6. Debug File Size (RP1210 INI Option DebugFileSize)

When DebugLevel is on (1-4), this is how large the DebugFile can grow in bytes. The formula is (DebugFileSize *

1024), so if you want to allow the DebugFileName the ability to grow to 2 megabytes, you would set this value to

2048. The default value for this parameter is 1024, or 1 megabyte.

Page 36 of 61 © 2010-2013 Dearborn Group, Inc.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual

11.7. Debug File Mode (RP1210 INI Option DebugMode)

When DebugLevel is on (1-4) and this option is in the 1 (Default) position, the DPA drivers will append data to

DebugFile (which could have data from previous logging) until it reaches the end of the file (1024 * DebugFileSize).

When reaching the end of the file, the DPA drivers will erase DebugFile and start writing new data to the file.

When DebugLevel is on and this option is in the 0 (Overwrite File Contents) position, the DPA drivers will erase

DebugFile and begin writing data to the file until it reaches the end of the file (1024 * DebugFileSize). When reaching the end of the file, the DPA drivers will erase DebugFile and start writing new data to the file.

11.8. Automatic Firmware Update

Setting the variable Automatic Firmware Update to the Value causes the drivers to exhibit the behavior in the

Action column.

Value Action

0 Automatic firmware update is turned off. No automatic checking for new firmware.

1 Automatic firmware update is turned on. The user has a choice as to whether or not to upgrade.

2

If the user selects Yes, the firmware is automatically updated. If the user chooses

No, then the drivers connect the application to the vehicle. This is the default.

Automatic firmware checking is turned on. The user is only told that there is new firmware available and told they should run the DPA Firmware Updater.

3

When the user chooses OK, then the drivers connect the application to the vehicle.

The user can then update the DPA at their convenience.

Automatic firmware update is turned on. The user is told there is new firmware and the firmware is downloaded automatically as soon as they press the OK button.

4

When the user selects OK, the firmware is automatically updated.

Automatic firmware update is turned on. The user is not prompted and the download begins automatically.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual

11.8.1. When the Drivers Call the DPA Firmware Updater

In the event that the automatic update is chosen, the DPA drivers launch the DPA Firmware Updater, which handles the downloading of new firmware. Once the firmware has started downloading, the user should not stop it. Aborting a firmware download may cause the device to become unresponsive and require the hardware to be shipped back to the manufacture for repair. The following is the dialog box showing the DPA Firmware Updater during an automatic update:

When the update is complete, the following dialog box is displayed and the DPA drivers attempt to let the application that was suspended continue executing. Most applications can handle the interruption; however there is a possibility that the user may have to restart their application.

11.9. DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility

This button opens the DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility. This allows the user to create RP1210 DeviceID entries from DPA 5 Bluetooth Pairings. This utility has its own help file.

11.10. Add SA Drivers to RP121032.INI Button

This button is used to add the “Single Application” version of a driver to the RP121032.INI file. By default, only the

“Multi-Application” driver entry is written to the RP121032.INI file, but there are times under the direction of a DG technical support representative that you may be asked to press this button.

14. DG Update

– Program Overview

DG Update is an application that is installed with your DPA drivers. It will run (by default) once every 30 days, and will keep you up-to-date with the latest versions of drivers for all your DPA, DG Diagnostics, and VSI-2534 products. With this application running regularly and Automatic Firmware Update (see DPA user manual) turned on, this will keep your DPAs up-to-date with drivers and firmware. DG recommends our customers keep up-to-date so that your OEM and component manufacturer diagnostic applications run smoothly.

The utility will run once every 30 days as a user logs on. This value is configurable, but defaults to 30 days. It can also be invoked manually from the Windows Start Menu:

Start  Programs  Dearborn Group Products  DPA 5 DG Update

14.1. DG Driver Update

– Internet Connection Required

The DG Driver Update utility depends on successfully connecting to the Internet (to one of DG’s servers) to retrieve the latest version information and to download the latest drivers and applications if necessary.

Many companies install firewalls and virus protection and these may block the DG server queries and responses.

If you are connected to the Internet and have issues running DG Update (getting “Unable to connect to the internet to check for updates." messages), ensure that your firewall or virus protection will allow a connection to the following Internet host/site and port: fh.dtech.com, port 8888. There are too many firewall and virus programs on the market to cover in this manual, however if you contact your network administrator and give him the host and port number, he should be able to configure your PC to allow the communication. You may also consult the Windows help system and/or the documentation for your firewall and/or virus protection software.

14.2. DG Driver Update

– Initial Screen

When the utility runs as a user logs on, the following screen will appear in the lower right hand corner of the screen. If you want to check for updates, ensure that your PC is connected to the Internet and click Continue.

Clicking Cancel will cause DG Update to wait until the next time it is scheduled to run. Clicking Continue will bring up the main update screen.

14.3. DG Driver Update

– Main Update Screen

The main screen appears looking like this. Depending on which products are installed on your PC, the grid will display pertinent information about them. When selecting DG Update from the Windows Start Menu, this is the first screen to appear.

Connect your PC to the Internet and click the Check For Updates button. Due to the nature of TCP/IP communications, errors connecting or sending/receiving of data are slow to appear, however the user will eventually be notified if there was a problem.

If the check for updates was successful, the second column of the grid will display information returned from the

DG server showing the most current versions and the Install Status row will change to red, green or blue.

Color Description

Green Drivers up-to-date. No update necessary.

Red

Blue

Drivers are outdated. Update recommended.

Drivers on your PC are newer than current version.

This usually indicates you are running a beta copy of the DPA drivers.

14.3.1. Successful Connect – No Updates Available

In this case, all drivers are current (green), and the Download button and progress bar do not display (see next paragraph). Clicking Exit will exit the program.

Page 43 of 61 © 2010-2013 Dearborn Group, Inc.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual

14.3.2. Successful Connect – Updates Available

In this case, the DPA 5 drivers are out of date (red), and the Download button and progress bar show up on the screen. The progress bar will keep you informed of the download progress should you choose to download the latest drivers by clicking the Download button.

When you click the Download button, you will be prompted to confirm starting of the download.

Note: The DG Update application can only download and install one item at a time. The user will be prompted for whichever one they want to update first. The reason that only one can be downloaded at a time is that the after the drivers are unzipped the installation program begins automatically. The DG Update program must exit because the installation program may have a newer version of the DG Driver Update utility to install.

After choosing Yes, the program will download the drivers and update the progress bar while doing so. Once the drivers have been downloaded, the application will unzip them and start the installation process. The dialog box will go away after the install has been started.

After the drivers have been downloaded (to the Windows temp directory

– if you wish to save them for other machines), they will be unzipped and the program will exit right after starting the new driver installation. Follow the installation instructions in the appropriate User Manual.

17. Appendix A

– DPA 5 Manual Firmware Update

Even though automatic firmware update comes defaulted to on, there may be a time you need to update your DPA firmware manually. The first step in a manual firmware update is to find which version of firmware you have. You can use the AVT utility after connecting the DPA to a power source.

Start  Programs  Dearborn Group Products  DPA 5  Adapter Validation Tool

Select the correct DPA adapter:

Vendor DGDPA5MA

– Dearborn Group DPA 5 Multiple Application

Device 1

– DG DPA 5 Dual-CAN USB - USB

Protocol J1708 (any protocol works)

Then click the Run Test button. When the test has finished running, go to the RP1210 Status Window and scroll down to the line that reads [RP1210_ReadDeta iledVersion] and look for the entry “FW=”. The last numbers on the line indicates which version of firmware you have (note the yellow circle). If you are not at the correct level (see manual cover page for which version you should be at), then you need to run the DPA Firmware Updater outlined in the following steps.

18. Appendix B

– Software Developer/Integrator Notes

This section is relevant only to software development engineers and systems integrators.

18.1. Bundling the DPA with Your OEM Installation

– Silent Install

DG has introduced a silent installation that software installation engineers can call that will install all DPA files that would normally be installed by running the installation interactively.

 The silent installation does not prompt the user or display a screen at any point.

After the install, a reboot of the PC is necessary.

18.1.1. Silent Install Command Line

DPA5Install.exe /s /d_SILENT_=[components to install]

The [components to install] can be any combination of the following:

A = DG DPA 5 Dual CAN USB drivers and associated files

B = DPA 5 Bluetooth drivers and associated files

C = DG DPA 5 Quad CAN USB drivers and associated files

Examples:

Silently install DPA 5 drivers with Bluetooth Option:

DPA5Install.exe /s /d_SILENT_=AB

NOTE: Please test and ensure that the command line you provide is correct. Otherwise, only the baseline components will be installed, but the RP1210 API will not be functional.

18.1.2. Controlling Automatic Firmware Update Variable on Silent Install

If you are a software development engineer or system integrator and wish to use the silent installation, but you want to change the Automatic Firmware Update setting to a value other than “1” (default), you can do so by changing the registry value of the following variable during a post-installation event.

DPA 4 Plus (DG121032)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dearborn Group Products\FirmwareUpdater\UpdateFirmware

DPA 4P (DPA4PMA, DPA4PSA)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dearborn Group Products\FirmwareUpdaterDPA4P\UpdateFirmware

DPA 5 (DGDPA5MA, DGDPA5SA)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dearborn Group Products\FirmwareUpdaterDPA5\UpdateFirmware

This variable is of the REG_SZ data type, however only the first character (‘0’,’1’,’2’,’3’) is used by the RP1210

Options program and the DPA drivers.

19. Appendix C

– FCC and Certification Industry Canada Information

The DPA 5 has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the

FCC Rules (see the back of the DPA 5 for FCC and IC specific identifications). These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The DPA 5 uses and generates radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If the DPA 5 does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the affected equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving and/or sending antennas.

Increase the separation between the DPA 5 and the affected receiving equipment.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This product complies with FCC OET Bulletin 65 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

19.1. Industry Canada

Operation of the DPA 5 is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual

20. Appendix D - Windows Vista and Windows 7 Support Notes

Microsoft® has made great strides in updating their operating systems to protect against malicious software. With

Windows Vista, Microsoft introduced User Account Control (UAC). UAC strictly enforces the differences between an administrator and a standard user account. When an action that could potentially compromise the PC such as writing files to the C:\Windows directory or registry is requested, the user is prompted for an administrator name and password. If the user is already an administrator, they are still prompted to confirm the action. Generally speaking, whenever you see the

Microsoft security shield icon on a button, you will need an administrator’s password to perform that operation.

20.1. UAC and the TMC RP1210 Standard

Before Windows Vista, it was common for applications to put INI and other types of configuration files in the default Windows directory, typically C:\Windows. The RP1210A standard requires that the RP121032.INI file be located in this directory, along with all of the vendor INI files. On Windows Vista, this means that a standard user cannot make changes to the main RP121032.INI file, nor can they make changes to the vendor INI files when

UAC is enabled.

20.2. UAC and the Dearborn Group Adapter Validation Tool (AVT)

A standard user will be able to run the AVT program and troubleshoot the PC-DPA-vehicle connection, but will not be able to fix a problem in the RP121032.INI file without an administrator password (see section on troubleshooting later in this document). The graphic below is from the Adapter Validation Tool (AVT), showing the

Microsoft security shield on the Fix/Change RP121032.INI File button.

20.3. UAC Requirements for All DPA Utility Programs

The DPA utility programs (listed below) have been modified to conform to UAC. The following list shows these programs and privileges required to run them:

21. Appendix E

– DPA Utilities Information for This Release

The DPA utility applications (i.e. AVT, DGD, RP1210 Options) are common amongst all DPA products and have been split into their own release called DPA Utilities. This allows DG to distribute changes to these applications without having to release a new DPA DLL for every API (i.e. DGDPA5MA, DGDPA4PMA, DG121032). Since DG Update looks for this separate installation, it handles downloads and updates to the utility applications.

23. Appendix G. Testing and Troubleshooting of a J1939 Network

23.1. J1939 Network Types

There are two standards that OEMs follow when designing their CAN/J1939 network, J1939-11 and J1939-15.

23.1.1. J1939-11

The J1939-11 standard calls for twisted-pair wire with a shield. The shield is typically grounded at the engine

ECM or negative battery post and must only be grounded at one spot on the vehicle. This standard is not commonly implemented because of the added cost of the shielding. The main issues with this network are too many, or too few, termination resistors (see Figure G2) or breaks in wire and insulation due to kinks, and vibration. This standard calls for the external termination resistors shown in Figure G2.

23.1.2. J1939-15

The J1939-15 standard calls for twisted-pair wire without a shield and is the most widely adopted. The main issues with this network are breaks in the wire and insulation due to kinks, vibration and rubbing, wire and connector corrosion, and too many, or too few, termination resistors. In the J1939-15 specification, termination resistors are commonly found inside of ECMs which are easily “activated” by shunting several pins at that ECMs connection to the vehicle wiring harness. This configuration makes it very easy to have a termination resistor problem and is much more difficult to diagnose.

23.2. CAN/J1939 Termination Resistor

The following image shows a picture of a 120 Ohm resistor typically found within vehicle ECMs and an image of a

J1939 termination resistor that is commonly found on J1939-11 networks.

23.5. J1939 Network Testing Step 1 (Termination Resistance)

To test for proper CAN/J1939 network termination requires standard hand tools and a standard Volt/Ohm meter.

Follow these steps:

1. Completely power down the vehicle. This is done at the battery disconnect, or by removing the positive terminal from the battery. a. This step cannot be bypassed as invalid values will affect the test outcome.

2. With Ohm meter, measure the resistance between pins C (CAN/J1939 High) and D (CAN/J1939 Low) on the

9-pin Deutsch diagnostic connector. If you are not working on a heavy-duty vehicle, read your vehicle/equipment literature as to where CAN High and CAN Low can be found.

Value Obtained

Between 54-66

Ohms

Greater than 120

Ohms

Less than 44 Ohms

Issue

Properly terminated network.

Open circuit or missing a terminating resistor.

More than two terminating resistors or J1939 wires are shorted together somewhere.

Resolution

Resistance Ok, try Step 2.

Install a terminating resistor at the network end. See OEM literature for terminating resistor location and for further troubleshooting information.

Remove extraneous terminating resistors by reading OEM literature for where the two terminating resistors should have been installed.

23.6. J1939 Network Testing Step 2 (CAN/J1939 High and CAN/J1939 Low To Ground)

To test for CAN/J1939 wire shorts to ground requires standard hand tools and a standard Volt/Ohm meter. Follow these steps:

1. Completely power down the vehicle. This is done at the battery disconnect, or by removing the positive terminal from the battery. a. This step cannot be bypassed as invalid values will affect the test outcome.

2. With Ohm meter, measure the resistance between pins C (CAN/J1939 High) and A (Ground). Then measure the resistance between pins D (CAN/J1939 Low) and A (Ground). If you are not working on a heavy-duty vehicle, read your vehicle/equipment literature as to where CAN High, CAN Low and Ground can be found.

Value Obtained

About 10k Ohms or

Greater

Less than 10k Ohms

Issue Resolution

No shorts to ground. Try Step 3.

Wire shorted to ground.

Repair or replace J1939 harness. See OEM literature for further testing of individual data bus wiring, and potential replacement of databus segments.

DPA 5 Series Installation and User Manual

23.7. J1939 Network Testing Step 3 (Roll Call)

To test for controllers transmitting on the databus (commonly called Roll Call) and potentially leaving the databus because of an error condition (BUS_OFF) requires a Dearborn Group DPA device, a personal computer (PC) with drivers for that DPA device installed, and a copy of DG Diagnostics software (free with purchase of a DPA device).

For more information on DG Diagnostics see the DPA User Manual (available from the Start -> Programs menu).

1. Power up the vehicle and turn ignition switch on.

2. Connect DPA device to the vehicle/equipment diagnostic connector.

3. Start DG Diagnostics by using the shortcut icon on the desktop. On the Home tab, select the correct DPA and

Device and click Connect button.

4. Go to the Components tab. Wait for 30 seconds to ensure all ECMs that are supposed to be transmitting on

J1939 are listed (top arrow). a. If a component is not transmitting that should be, refer to the OEM literature on how to diagnose that component.

5. Press the Reset Lists button and wait another 30 seconds. If a controller has disappeared, then that controller has went into a BUS_OFF state indicating something is wrong with that components ability to transmit on the

CAN/J1939 data bus. a. Refer to the OEM literature on how to fully diagnose that component.
