Thank you for purchasing the Dynojet Data Link Module-OBDII (DJDLM-OBDII). The
DJDLM-OBDII allows data, such as spark advance, throttle position, head
temperature, inlet air temperature, and numerous other parameters to be transmitted
from the vehicle’s OBDII compatible Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via the
vehicle’s data port. The WinPEP 7 software lets you easily view, save, and compare this
data using just a few mouse clicks.
The DJDLM-OBDII is great for PCM tuning and maintaining consistency while dyno
testing. No need to guess if the vehicle is too hot, or perhaps if the PCM is retarding
timing. You can even show this information right along side your dyno results using
the WinPEP 7 software.
Dynojet Research is known for its ultra consistent and repeatable line of chassis
dynos, and now with the DJDLM-OBDII you can gather data directly from the vehicle
being tested to achieve even greater consistency. This innovation is just another
example of the professional results you gain using Dynojet products.
