I get asked regularly how to make the most of the J2534 passthru device supplied with the Autel Maxisys Pro so I thought I would screenshot reinstalling the GDS2 software on my new demonstration laptop. The whole process works on best using Internet Explorer. 

Firstly you need to login too the service box website. http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/pages/index.jsp
​

Once logged in you need to go onto the Technical Information tab and select the Opel Vauxhall Chevrolet subscription tab. It will then show you any current subscriptions or give option to purchase. ​

You can download the latest Java version on the link above, once installed you click on the Start GDS2 button. This is where using Internet Explorer is important. What you need to do now is follow through with the installation keep on pressing yes and allow etc. 

If you are using a passthru Autel Device or similar you can skip the GM MDI2 Drivers. 
​

Once GDS2 Install is done you will then need to download the individual software packs for the brands you purchased. ​

Once downloaded you then need to install all apps, so you just click the install button and all models will be installed to your GDS2 software. ​

​PULSE TRONIC CHARGE
ELECTRONIC CONTROL OF THE CHARGING PROCESS
PulseTronic, which is made in Telwin, is our answer for charging/maintaining traction batteries used in Automotive applications, no matter whether for motorcycles, cars, lorries, heavy machines, etc.

This sophisticated technology, which can be used to charge all types of 6/12/24V battery, and more specifically WET, GEL, AGM, MF, SPIRAL, START/STOP batteries, is a reference for all of Telwin's professional products.

Its capacity to diagnose battery conditions moment by moment, together with specific interventions aimed at restoring optimal operativity, are the two essential elements on which Pulse Tronic technology is based.

Constant control of the charging process on the one hand prevents possible battery overcharging and overheating, and on the other hand returns the battery to optimal condition; the result is a perfectly charged battery with a longer life.

When batteries are not used for long periods they tend to discharge naturally, so charge maintenance is just as important as the charging process.

​PulseTronic technology uses intelligent monitoring and special wave forms (impulses) to maintain the optimal charge without generating overheating or making modifications that damage the chemical structure of the battery, even over extended periods (e.g. vehicle maintenance during periods of non-use).PulseTronic technology also pays special attention to safety by creating and defining the correct conditions to fully protect the on-board electronics of the vehicle while charging/maintaining the battery and without being disconnected from the vehicle.

The multiple advantages of this technology are evident even when charging several batteries together in serial or parallel.

From a practical viewpoint, battery maintenance, namely charging and optimal charge maintenance, occurs over 8 separate phases, specific for every constructive type of battery, with each phase being characterised by a special functionality and wave form.

PULSE-TRONIC technology therefore offers the following advantages:

• it can be applied to all types of battery;
• it gives complete control over the charge current;
• it protects the electronic components on-board vehicles without having to disconnect the battery from the vehicle during charging;
• it guarantees less battery overheating during the charge phase;
• it guarantees longer useful life to batteries.
