The OBDSTAR TCM-004 adapter cable is specifically designed to connect a Temic DL382 transmission control module (TCM) with compatible diagnostic equipment. This cable features a specific 23-pin Temic connector on the vehicle side and a 15-pin DB15 connector on the interface side. The adapter is mainly used during bench operations for direct reading and programming of VAG transmissions without needing to be installed in the vehicle.

The wiring facilitates stable signal transmission and power supply between the TCM and the connected hardware, which is essential for accurate memory operations such as cloning and calibrating. The pin-out is precisely calibrated for the communication protocol of the DL382 architecture, preventing data corruption during read and write processes. This cable is exclusively compatible with OBDSTAR diagnostic devices or programmers.

ADVANTAGES

Secure signal transmission directly via the pin-out of the transmission module.
Prevents short circuits thanks to the precise fit of the 23-pin connector.
Specifically designed for bench programming outside the vehicle.
Reduces the time required for TCU cloning and data extraction.

KEY POINTS

Only compatible with OBDSTAR diagnostic tools and programmers.
Not suitable for conventional OBD2 port diagnostics.
Only designed for the DL382 transmission system.

Applications and functionalities

This adapter cable is used for specific transmission diagnostics and hardware programming tasks. The following functions are supported:

  • Bench reading and writing: Provides direct access to the internal memory (EEPROM and Flash) of the transmission control unit.
  • TCU cloning: Enables copying transmission data for replacing a defective control unit.
  • Restore calibration data: Reading and writing adaptation values, transmission parameters, and software updates.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The adapter cable is designed for passenger cars within the VAG group equipped with the longitudinally mounted 7-speed DL382 S-Tronic or DSG transmission.

💡
Good to know: Ensure that the power supply of the bench programmer is stably connected during cloning. Voltage drops can result in incomplete or corrupted data transfer in Temic control units.
