Switching 12V Power to ECUs
The CDR Tool is capable of connecting to and retrieving
EDR data directly from ECUs if the vehicle's DLC/OBD
electronics are damaged or not accessible. Connecting
the CDR 900 directly to an ECU to download EDR data
requires a vehicle specific CDR cable and possibly an
adapter such as the CDR 500 FlexRay Adapter. The pro-
cess also requires providing 12V DC power to the ECU
prior to communicating with it. The CDR 900 supplies
12V DC power to the ECU through the CDR 900 Power
and Interface Cable when a external 12V source such
as the CDR Power Supply (P/N: 02002435) or vehicle
battery is connected to it. At the right time during the
download, the CDR Tool software signals the CDR 900
to switch the 12V DC power through the CDR cable to
the ECU prior to communicating with and download-
ing EDR data. When completed, the CDR Tool software
switches the ECU power off.
An LED indicator lamp on the CDR 900 power cable
provides status of the power switching to the ECU. The
table below describes the colors of the LED during the
download process.
LED Color Status
Yellow 12V DC power is applied but the power is not
switched to the ECU
Green 12V DC power is switched to the ECU
No Illumina- 12V DC Power is not applied or the cable is
tion faulty
4.12.2 DLC/OBD J1962 Cable (P/N: 1699200615)
The OBD/DLC J1962 Cable is used when downloading
EDR data when connected to the vehicle's DLC/OBD
connector and the other end plugs into the CDR 900
Power and Interface Cable.
4.12.3 D2ML, CDR Cable Legacy Adapter (P/N:
1699200616)
This is adapter is needed for connecting existing
(legacy) CDR direct-to-module cables to the CDR 900
interface & power cable. Although new CDR 900 direct-

to-module CDR cables will not require this adapter,
many of the existing legacy CDR cables will require this
adapter as older vehicle's support is migrated to the
new CDR 900 device.
4.12.4 1 m Extension Cable (P/N: 1699200617)
The CDR 900 Extension cable extends the reach of the
CDR 900 during direct-to-module imaging.
4.12.5 USB A to B, Heavy Duty, 3m Cable (P/N:
1699200385)
The USB A to B cable is a heavy duty, 3 meter cable
providing a stable connection between the CDR 900
and PC. Even if wireless is an option, the USB cable is
needed for configuration, reprogramming and registra-
tion of the CDR 900.
4.12.6 Wireless 802.11 Dongle (P/N: 1699200155)
Two Wireless 802.11n Dongles provide point-to-point
wireless communications between the CDR 900 and
PC. Depending on the country the CDR 900 is sold,
these dongles may not be provided with the CDR 900.
4.12.7 CDR 12V DC Power Supply (P/N:
F00E900104, kit / 02002435, P/S Only)
The CDR 900 utilizes the current CDR Tool 12V power
supply included in the basic CDR DLC/OBD Kits of-
fered today. Because most users are likely to own one
already, the 12V DC power supply is not included in the
CDR 900 kits.
