What it does

Bench programming. Made easy.

Vehicles with a secure gateway module need the gateway bypassed, or the ECU on the bench. This kit makes the bench quick, safe and repeatable, and it’s the one we use ourselves.

01

Push-on wiring

Power, ignition, ground and CAN bus wiring with push-on connectors make setup quick and easy.

02

Inbuilt fuse

Keeps your connected tools and ECUs safe.

03

Battery & ignition switches

A constant battery switch and an ignition power switch give you full power-cycling control.

04

Terminating resistor switch

Set the CAN bus termination to 60 Ω, 120 Ω or 0 Ω with one switch.

05

Adjustable power supply

One of our recommended power supplies is in the kit, with adjustable voltage for stable, constant power to the ECU.

06

Tested wiring

The bench wiring in our diagrams is tested with various factory and aftermarket programming applications, including ECU Hero.

How it fits

Your bench, start to finish.

The harness powers the ECU and carries CAN to your OBDX Pro FT, which connects to your laptop running ECU Hero or your factory software.

Wiring diagrams

Hook up the ECU in minutes.

Our bench wiring diagrams show where each wire goes for the FCA engine computers ECU Hero works with. They’re the same ones we use.

Questions

Good to know.

What is a bench harness for?

It lets you program an ECU out of the car. The harness supplies power, ignition and ground to the ECU on your bench and carries its CAN bus to your scantool.

When do I need to program on the bench?

Vehicles fitted with a secure gateway module (SGM) need the gateway bypassed, or the ECU put on the bench, before you can talk to it. The bench is also handy for preparing a replacement ECU before it goes in the car.

Which ECUs can I wire up?

Our bench wiring diagrams cover NGC4, NGC4A, GPEC, GPEC2, GPEC2A, GPEC3, GPEC4 and GPEC4LM.

Is a power supply included?

Yes. The kit includes one of our recommended power supplies, with adjustable voltage for stable, constant power to the ECU.

Do I need a scantool as well?

Yes. The harness powers the ECU and carries CAN; a scantool such as the OBDX Pro FT does the talking. ECU Hero only works with the OBDX Pro FT.

Where does it ship from?

The bench kit ships from the United States. If your country isn’t listed at checkout, contact us for a quote.
