JLR VCI Logger on Diagnostics over Internet Protocol (DoIP) Vehicles

On DoIP vehicles the pop-up box contains the following instructions:

  1. Connect Gateway Module A (GWM) breakout cables (DAPN096 / JLR-418-692-02) and (DAPN0197 / JLR-418-692-03) between the GWM and the vehicle harness.
  2. Connect the OBD2 power splitter (DAPN0195 / JLR-418-692-01) to the vehicle OBD2 diagnostic connector.
  3. Connect the GWM interface cable (DAPN0194 / JLR-418-692-04) to the OBD2 power splitter plugs and GWM breakout DSUB connectors.
  4. Connect the JLR Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) to the OBD2 connector on GWM interface cable.
  5. Connect the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable between the JLR VCI Logger and your machine.
  6. Select logger channel DSUB connections, then specify the data file location and name.
  7. Select START to begin the Logger session (use start/stop for manual pre/post triggering).
  • When the vehicle has been selected, the software will determine what connections must be made. If DSUB number 1 has been connected to PTCAN, then use the dropdown to select PTCAN as channel 1.

  2. Connect the USB cable between JLR VCI and the machine.
  3. Select logger channel connections, then specify the log file location and name.
  4. Select START to begin the JLR VCI Logger session (use the manual trigger points for manual pre/post triggering if required).
  • For Multi-CAN/Dual-CAN vehicles, the VCI connects to the vehicle OBD2 diagnostic connector.
  • Depending on the connected vehicle it can simultaneously log up to four channels.
  • The channels available are pre-set according to the wiring of the diagnostic connector.
