Did you know that at least one controller on every 2006 General Motors vehicle uses Controller Area Network (CAN) communication protocols? This is the method used by controllers on GM vehicles to talk to one another. It's also called GM LAN.
Your Tech 2 requires an interface called the CANdi Module to communicate properly with GM LAN controllers. CANdi stands for Controller Area Network Diagnostic Interface. As more vehicles use GM LAN, it becomes increasingly important to equip each Tech 2 with a CANdi Module to take full advantage of the service data on the vehicle.
According to a recent analysis, the typical GM dealership has only one CANdi module for every three Tech 2s they own. This is not an effective ratio of CANdi Modules to Tech 2s for efficient fix-it-right-the-first-time customer service. Each Tech 2 should be equipped with its own CANdi Module. With some programming events taking as long as an hour to complete, the time waiting for a CANdi Module is lost money.
Check out the first-quarter specials from GM Tools. There are specials on Tech 2 packages and a 15% discount on all accessories, including the CANdi Module. Contact SPX/Kent-Moore at 1.800.GMTOOLS for details.
TIP:Â Dealers outside of the US should call for pricing and details.
