Application Overview

Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) is the next generation diagnostic tool. IDS integrates WDS software modified to run on an off-the-shelf laptop with the Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) currently used in NGS+ and PDS, and a new Vehicle Measurement Module (VMM).

Diagnostic coverage includes most 1996 ~ 2009 MY (produced 1995 ~ 2008) Ford, Lincoln/Mercury & Mazda vehicles.

The VCM (Version V57) includes both IDS (Integrated Diagnostic Software) and PDS (Portable Diagnostic Software) tools.

The VCM also has detachable cables for connection to industry standard high-speed host interfaces as well as to the vehicle under test.

The VCM device contains five LED status indicators to provide the user with a visual mode of internal VCM, vehicle, and host device (e.g. NGS Classic's T-Handle, PC, Pocket PC/PDS, and Laptop/IDS) operation.

The VCM unit is housed in a magnesium enclosure with a tough, protective, plastic cover for the PCMCIA expansion slot which can, for example, be used for wireless LAN cards or memory expansion.

The Vehicle Commnication Module (VCM) is a high performance, ruggedized, vehicle serial communications gateway. This device provides multiple vehicle serial communication interfaces to meet the requirements of all Ford Motor Company vehicles.
