Getting to Know Flasher-PRO
The Flasher-PRO supports all modern vehicle reprogramming protocols
including: J1850VPW, J1850PWM, CAN, ISO 15765, ISO 9141, ISO
14230/KWP2000, and Chrysler SCI
Your package includes: the Flasher-PRO hardware, a MVCI-J1962
vehicle interface cable, a USB cable, an Ethernet cable, and a CD
including drivers and support tools.
Because J2534-1 is a widely accepted standard, the Flasher-PRO will
work with a variety of ECM reprogramming applications. The EPAPublished regulation has led to publicly available reprogramming
applications from almost every major automaker. These applications
will allow independent repair shops to update the calibrations on
newer automobiles.
Connectors and Status Indicators
Front Panel
There are 6 status lights on the front panel of the Flasher-PRO.
These status lights are useful for troubleshooting the Flasher-PRO’s

interrupt a reash while the vehicle’s ECU s blank or only partially
programmed, the module may be unrecoverable. Refer to Table 1 for a
description of the other status lights.
