Locating OEM-Approved ADAS Tools: FCA/Stellantis
When researching calibration procedures for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), you may notice that many of the procedures require the use of specific tools. Some tools may be everyday items like string, tape, levels, paper, etc. However, many of them are OEM-specific tools or scan tools. Often identifying and locating where to purchase these specific tools can be difficult.
The RTS team is researching how to find these tools to make it easier for technicians performing these procedures. As we research the location of these special tools, we are compiling the information in a series of OEM-specific articles. Let’s see where you can find FCA/Stellantis-approved tool information.
To find FCA/Stellantis wiTech, DRB III, and J2534 information:
- Go to www.techauthority.com
- Click on Related Documents and Links (bottom of webpage)
- Click on any of the blue links listed on the page.
Links on this page provide you with information about computer requirements for the scan tool software, manuals on how to use the J2534 and wiTech software, and many other documents.
To find other ADAS related tools, go to www.moparessentialtools.com. Once on the website, you can search tools us by category, by clicking on Online Catalog from the menu on the left side of the page. You can also search for tools using the search bar at the top of the page.
Always follow OEM procedures when calibrating ADAS. Make sure to check procedures for the required tools to help ensure a complete, safe, and quality repair.
