2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual 3.4 ECU identification and configuration The ECU Identification allows the user to view the full details in regards to the Electronic Control Units within the vehicle. This includes Diagnostic variants, versions, part number (needed for finding a replacement), Software part numbers as well as serial numbers of the electronic modules. www.abrites.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual 3.5 Actuators Actuator testing is perhaps one of the most important steps in resolving an issue with a faulty vehicle. This function is used to test the operation of separate systems within the car. For example the user can test the oil pump actuator separately without interfering with other actuators. This function is started by selecting the desired actuator and pressing the start button. It is important to let the actuator test end before exiting. www.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual The Abrites diagnostics for Fiat/Alfa/Lancia/FCA currently supports almost 100% of the actuators that can be tested within a vehicle. Here is an example of the body control module’s actuators. www.abrites.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual 4.BCM, RFH and Key manager The Body Control Module (BCM) and key manager function is used in order to perform key programming and preparation, PIN code reading and updating, Component protection data ▯ BCM configuration, reading and updating of the supported models by OBD. It allows the Configuration data to be saved locally to the user’s computer, the loading of previously saved files is also supported. Please check the full list at abrites.com www.abrites.

2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual 4.1 Key Learning Key learning by OBD for many models produced by the FCA. Once the PIN code is obtained the user will have the ability to select the model of the vehicle and perform key learning directly via the vehicle’s diagnostic port. ▯ 1. Key Learning 2. Model selection Please visit abrites.com for a full list of supported vehicles. www.abrites.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual ▯ For the latest 2017/2018 models when a RFH module and a Gateway are present, the user has to connect to the Internal CAN-BUS in order to obtain the PIN code - either through the pin 6(CAN H) and pin 14(CAN L) of the AVDI Interface, or using a ZN051 Distribution box. The best option would be to connect to the CAN H and CAN L cables of the RFH’s connector. This is what the RFH module looks like: www.abrites.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual Note: Some of the latest FCA models are equipped with the s.c. “Cyber-Security” which allows diagnostic manipulations to the models equipped with it to communicate with OEM FCA software only. The Cyber Security module is a box that is connected right after the OBDII connector. If communication to the car is not possible, this means the car is most probably equipped with this additional security by FCA.

You need to take out the BCM unit and open the plastic cover 2. Find the EEPROM and solder ZN057 as per the diagram on the next page 3. Read the SPI 95640 memory with ABProg - this will give you the PIN.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual The picture below show you where and how you need to connect the ZN057 adapter in order to read this BCM unit. www.abrites.

2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual 8. Proxi alignment The Abrites Diagnostics for FCA allows you to perform Proxi alignment to both passenger and commercial FCA vehicles both on bench and inside the vehicle. Proxi alignment represents the process of the general configuration of the BCM (Body Control Module) of FCA vehicles.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual Select the vehicle model from the list The Abrites Diagnostics for FCA will then connect to the vehicle (or BCM if you are working on a bench) Follow the instructions for ignition ON when working inside the vehicle. Then you will have two options BCM alignment or IPC. The BCM option is the standard way to move forward. Use the IPC option when replacing the BCM with a new one www.abrites.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual At this time the software will read the proxi alignment configuration and display it on the screen. Once the Proxi alignment configuration is displayed you can modify the Proxi alignment according to your needs. To the left of the screen you can see the option list while to right side of the screen you can see the status of the option in the current configuration. The options here may vary according to the needs of the vehicle.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual Once you are done with the configuration as you need it you can save the configuration to a file on your computer which you can later load using the SAVE and FILE icons in the bottom left. You can, of course save the original file or the modified one as well. www.abrites.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual Loading the Proxi alignment configuration file has two options which are used in two different situations: ▯ ▯ When the BCM is on bench and you power it up it will not “see” the other modules. Thus you can perform the configuration on a bench. This, however means that the BCM will be configured but it will not know that there are other modules related to proxi alignment in the car.
2023 Abrites Diagnostics for FCA User Manual The next screen will prepare the car for programming of the Proxi alignment, make sure that the precautions on the screen are taken The progress of the alignment is displayed on the screen, the modules currently being “aligned” are on the left side, while the status of the alignment is on the right At the end of the procedure you can turn the ignition off and back on to test if everything went as expected www.abrites.
