ow to bypass the security gateway module on 2018+ Chrysler so that you can clear codes, active test, bi-directional control special functions, all the things you couldn’t do without either pulling a radio and using a 12+8 cable or just using some other kind of hack or work around. And since this is through Chrysler’s auto off program, this is not a workaround or a hack, this is a legitimate way around it. And Chrysler has authorized Autel tools + Chrysler 12+8 cable to do this.

The next paragraphs will include how to use Autel Chrysler 12+8 diagnostic cable on 2018 Dodge Durango / 2018 Dodge Challenger, and Chrysler 12+8 diagnostic cable compatible Autel tools, coverage, using tips etc.

Chrysler 12+8 diagnostic cable can work with: AUTEL MS906BT, MS906S, MS908, MS908S, MS908S PRO, Maxisys Elite

How to install Autel 12+8 adapter?
This adapter will be required when accessing a Fiat Chrysler Dodge and Jeep vehicle that uses a Secure Gateway Module.

Locate the security gateway module which is installed below the dashboard.

Remove the connector of the security gateway module.

Connect Autel Chrysler 12+8 connector

****Autel Chrysler 12+8 diagnostic cable using tips:

Expect to see this message when scanning a Chrysler with the Security Gateway Module:
DEVICE UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE CONTROL UNIT
Placement of the SGM varies, but it is often located in the side kick panel, passenger side near the glove box, or behind the radio.

Use Autel Chrysler 12+8diagnostic cable on 2018 Dodge Challenger
It’s behind the radio, so we have to pull this, this is a 2018 Dodge Challenger way to pull this trim piece off. Let the radio hang and then if you come up here, the 12+8 diagnostic cable goes into this black box down here, if you have to reach in and push to release and slide them out and then hook up your 12+8 diagnostic cable.

*** Show you how to locate and hook up the Autel 12+8 cable diagnostic cable in a 2018 Dodge Challenger.

So it took us a while to find it, it wasn’t even obvious once we got the radio out. I guess they put him in the kick panel I started there no luck. I was able to scan the codes through the OBD2 connection but I’m unable to clear them this cable right here. This box is what lets you hook up to clear the codes.

Use Autel Chrysler 12+8 diagnostic cable on 2018 Dodge Durangowith AUTEL MS906TS
2018 Dodge Durango and Autel MS906TS, this is one of Chryslers that requires Autel Chrysler 12+8 cable which is not early as easy as the OBD2, so on this model in the Autel it drew a circle here I remove this trim panel just one clip nice and easy. These are your clips really tight to pull out, the release is on the back side so towards the driver’s of the car, they pull the release and then I put a pick to work them loose, then they come out, there are no labels or anything that show you that’s the 12+8 diagnostic cable, but that is definitely it and that’s what we had to do to get the pre and post scan done. So just wanted to share. It took me a little while to look around and see it. So I figured I could help you out a little bit.

Alright, thanks.

Autel Chrysler 12+8 diagnostic cable is used to communicate with the vehicles with Secure Gateway Module:

2018 and newer Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and Fiat now have a secure gateway module or SGM. This SGM will not allow your scan tool to do bidirectional controls on the vehicle. Autel Chrysler 12+8 Adapter can bypass the SGM.

Absolute Pressure is measured relative to a full vacuum (in the empty, air-free space), and uses absolute zero as its reference pressure. Pressure that is measured against Atmospheric Pressure (also known as Barometric Pressure) is called Gauge Pressure.

Average Barometric Pressure (1 ATM) at sea level is ~14.7 Psi (100 Kpa) or 1 Bar.

According to two picture,we can find the Formula for the Absolute Pressure:

Absolute Pressure = Atmospheric Pressure + Gauge Pressure

Related Information:

Atmospheric (Barometric) Pressure Sensor

The correct reading for the Atmospheric Pressure Sensor is between 50 kPa (7.3 psi) and 100 kPa (15 psi).

Altitude Derate

The engine may be derated due to high elevation. Use Cat ET to check for an active Engine Derate on the Status Flags screen.

Note: There are no event codes that are associated with the Altitude Derate.

This instruction show you guide on how to use Launch X431 to perform static DPF regeneration for Mercedes Benz Sprinter 906 2007.And for more DPF projects,please check here:DPF repair projects.

For 906 car model equipped with OM646, OM642 and OM651 with diesel particulate filter, when the vehicle is in limp home mode, the engine control module will turn off all the functions to protect the engine. The fault generated by the parts used during the regeneration control will cause failure to perform the DPF regeneration (such as hot-film air flow sensor, temperature sensor). Other trouble code will cause the boost control or exhaust gas recirculation OFF, which will increase the particulates in the exhaust gas. Because those functions are off, the volume in the particulate filter cannot be calculated correctly, leading to an extremely high level of the particulates. This requires performing DPF regeneration once to ensure the diesel particulate filter can be used again.

Particles trapped in the filter will cause the diesel engine’s exhaust back pressure increase. When the exhaust back pressure reaches 16kPa~20kPa, the performance of the diesel engine starts to deteriorate, the DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter) jams, leading to white smoke and weak acceleration, etc.

So it is important to remove the particles regularly, making the filter recover to its original working state, that is to perform the DPF regeneration.

Attentions:

To perform DPF regeneration, it is required to maintain a high exhaust gas temperature. It is quite difficult to rise the temperature only by running the engine at idle. Please drive the vehicle before performing this function. Stop only when the exhaust gas temperature is much higher than the required,and keep the engine run at idle to prevent the exhaust gas temperature from decreasing rapidly.

During the DPF regeneration, a large amount of smoke may be produced. Do not perform this function in a busy traffic environment to avoid traffic accident!

Extremely hot exhaust gas comes out during the DPF regeneration. Watch out for burning!

What You Need?

Operation guide

1.Select the Sprinter Version V20.63 or above.

2.Select manual selection.

3.Select Sprinter.

4.Select 906/900.

5.Select diesel engine and the corresponding model.

6.Select engine system.

7.Select special function.

8.Select Diesel Particulate Filter.

9.Select DPF regeneration during driving.

10.After entering the function, prompt appears. Do close the hood and ensure nobody/nothing around the exhaust pipe.

11.Click OK to enter the interface of function preconditions.

12.Among those preconditions, it is quite difficult for the temperature rising to 200℃(depending on the engine model, some required to 180℃) only by running the engine at idle. If clicked OK without satisfying the temperature requirement, it prompts the following interface.

13.Thus, before performing this function or stop at this precondition interface and drive until the exhaust gas temperature is much higher than the required, and keep the engine run at idle to prevent the exhaust gas temperature from decreasing rapidly. Click OK only after satisfying all conditions.

14.Stop the vehicle as prompted and keep the engine run at idle, then click OK to enter the DPF Regeneration.

15.During DPF regeneration, the temperature before DPF will automatically increase to a high temperature. For some engine models, it may display the current additive level or carbon content in the DPF, while some others will not display in the interface (depending on the model, not the problem of the software). Both are normal.

16.During the regeneration, when there are a large number of particles in the DPF, you can easily observe a large amount of smoke coming out of the vehicle exhaust system. Regeneration goes on until the remaining time is ZERO. Now the particles in the DPF are burned. After it ends, enter the following interface.

17.Click OK after confirmation, it prompts the function succeeded.

18.If the carbon content displayed in the data stream is still high, check whether there are related sensor DTCs.By now, the particles in the DPF are burned out. The problem of blocking in the DPF is solved. The static DPF regeneration is successfully performed.
