With the advent of higher speed data networks, Tech II needed an additional piece of hardware to talk to modern vehicles which is the CANdi or Controller Area Network Diagnostic Interface. One thing we did not have with the original Tech II package was the pictured CANdi module. This becomes critical when transmission and engine control modules must chat with each other to control the powertrain. The CAN network is a standard high speed communication protocol that is used on most vehicles sold in USA and allows devices ‘on the data bus’ to communicate at speeds of 500 kilobits per second. Ultimately, all of powertrain components such as the engine and electronically shifted transaxle terminate on pins 6 and 14 of the DLC on what is a high speed or Controller Area Network (CAN).

Those of you who live in the USA that do state mandated emission testing may find that they now just plug into your vehicle for verification of the vehicles emission compliance. This connector allows any OBD II compatible scan tool to ‘talk’ to the vehicle. This is where the scan tool plugs in and becomes part of the data network. Here in the United States all vehicles communicate via a standardized or OBD II style data link connector, so if you crawl under the dash of your 1996 and up Saab you should find the connector. My 2007 9-3 Aero has the turbocharged V6 and six speed automatic, so that is what will be referenced here. All I needed was my Saab to give the Tech II something to do. GM kindly supplies our school with all this hardware.
