FORD – VCM Lite

OverView

The FORD – VCM Lite (vehicle communications module lite) is a diagnostic tool that allows vehicle diagnosis with the Ford DiagNow mobile app, available on Apple and Android devices. The small tool allows technicians to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, view the vehicle network monitor, visualize vehicle parameters with Datalogger, and more on 2010 and newer Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. As VCM Lite evolves, updates will be available through the Ford DiagNow app.

Description

The VCM Lite (Vehicle Communications Module Lite) is your affordable, mobile diagnostic tool. VCM Lite will give you quick and convenient vehicle diagnostics in your bay, the service drive, the used car department, or anywhere! This small but powerful tool will fill in the gaps when your VCM3s and VCMMs are in use, or just all the way across the complex.

The VCM Lite is connected to the SDLC for communication with a vehicle and utilizes a Bluetooth connection to an Apple or Android device. The Ford DiagNow mobile app then acts as your diagnostic interface, removing the hassle of lugging your laptop across the parking lot.

After your purchase of the VCM Lite, Ford DiagNow can be downloaded from your Apple or Android App store. Just connect the VCM Lite, link your phone with Ford DiagNow over Bluetooth, and start making some extra money!
