OBDSTAR (TCM-024) | ZF (8HP45-TC277) 16-pins TCM – 15-pins DB15 Adapter Cable | Passenger Car

The OBDSTAR (TCM-024) adapter cable is a specialized adapter for connecting diagnostic and programming equipment to ZF 8HP45-90 and 8HP45 (GEN3 TC277) transmission control modules (TCMs) in passenger cars. This cable creates a direct interface between the vehicle's 16-pin TCM connector and a 15-pin DB15 connector for external devices, which is necessary for advanced transmission diagnostics.

This OBDSTAR (TCM-024) adapter cable is specifically designed for direct communication with the ZF 8HP45-90 and 8HP45 (GEN3 TC277) transmission control modules. This allows specialized diagnostics and programming tasks by establishing a direct and stable connection, supporting the precision and safety of data transfer during reading and writing of the TCM.

Application and functionality:

The OBDSTAR (TCM-024) adapter cable enables specific diagnostic and programming functions for ZF 8HP transmissions:

• TCM Connection: Enables a direct electrical connection to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for diagnosis and programming, bypassing the standard OBD2 port.
• Data Exchange: Facilitates the transfer of vehicle data and programming instructions between the OBDSTAR device and the ZF transmission.
• Specific Applications: Supports functions such as reading fault codes, performing adaptations, and programming new firmware for 8HP45 up to 8HP90 transmissions, including those with the TC277 Gen3 microcontroller.
