Key features Support for wide range of ECUs and models Fully multiplexed all-in-one smart interface Wide range of communication protocols and buses covered: KW71, IAW, KWP2000, FIAT9141, ISO15765, UDS.

3 Automatic ECU recognition Automatic vehicle scan ECU Identification Fault code (DTC) reading Fault freeze frame reading Fault code clearing Measured values / live data Live data recording Diagnostic protocol printing Actuator tests Control unit coding such as: Immobilizer key matching Injector coding Parameters resetting The FiCOM system works with Fiat vehicles. (It works as well with Fiat subsidiaries vehicles suchas Ford Ka 2008+, Peugeot Boxer, etc.) The rule of thumb is: tasks related to fault code memoryand identification are reliable everywhere, but measured values and other functions may not be fullysupported. Software updatesUpdates of purchased software version are available for free download User name = serial number of FiCOM diagnostic leave blank. The serial number can be found on a silver label of the interface or insettings of FiCOM after performing Test interface.

4 We recommend you to install updated versionat least once a month, because updates provide support for new ECUs and fix various recommend you to update firmware in diagnostic interface by clicking on Settings Upgradefirmware every time you update the software.

When prompted to install unsigned drivers, click on Install this driver software anyway (Microsoft Windows 7) orContinue Anyway (Microsoft Windows XP).Microsoft Windows will automatically install drivers when you plug-in the FiCOM to USBport. Driver installation isn't required for operation on GNU/Linux 5 / 28 FiCOM user Microsoft Windows 8 driver installationIn case of problem with installing drivers on Windows 8, please follow these steps:1.

5 Press Windows Key + R2. In the window that appears, type: /r /o /f /t 00 3. Press "OK" button4. The System will restart to a "Choose an option" screen5.

Click on "Restart" button9. System will restart to "Advanced Boot Options" screen10. Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" (press number on keyboard for option shown onscreen)11. Once the system starts, install the diagnostic interface drivers as you would on Windows 7 Windows Vista & 7 required signed all .sys files (we use shipped by Microsoftwith valid digital signature). Final version of Windows 8 requires also signed .inf file (whichis not in our case). The above procedure helps to override unsigned .inf file. Once driver isinstalled, the program will work 6 / 28 FiCOM user GNU/Linux SystemOur diagnostic application are tested to work under Linux.

6 The applications can be rununder Linux, BSD or Apple OS/X on Intel x86 using Wine environment. The installer andapplications perform fully automated installation under these operating system. Requirements Linux with USB support (or FreeBSD) USB CDC Driver Wine Recent Debian Linux or Ubuntu meet the above requirements. Setting up devicesDriver installation isn't required for operation on GNU/Linux system. Diagnosticapplications require access to /dev/ttyACMx devices from Wine environment. This can be set-upvery easily using these commands: ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com5ln -s /dev/ttyACM1 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com6ln -s /dev/ttyACM2 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com7ln -s /dev/ttyACM3 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com8 Diagnostic interface should be then visible from the FiCOM diagnostic application. InstallationPrograms can be installed by launching setup .exe file using wine, wine can download the latest version of FiCOM at 7 / 28 FiCOM user 3 Diagnostic connectors used in Fiat vehiclesLocation of OBD2, OBD1 or 3pin diagnostic connectors is available in DLC location database available from the FiCOM main menu.
