Product Review

ECUsim 2000 is a small, lightweight, bench top simulator that can be used for testing and development of OBD devices and software. The CAN (ISO 15765) model supports fixed and user adjustable parameter IDs (PIDs), diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), freeze frames, and many other SAE J1979 services. The unit has five knobs assigned to common PIDs, a "fault event" button, and indicator lights for power, connection, and MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light). ECUsim 2000 features a USB connection which can be used to monitor OBD CAN bus traffic and perform firmware upgrades. The five knobs are assigned to these frequently used PIDs: coolant temperature, engine speed, vehicle speed, oxygen sensor voltage and mass airflow (MAF). The ECUsim 2000 package includes a power supply.
