Scan tool with forced regen for 2023 Ram 2500 Cummins

[Hudd]

I've been having some trouble with this. Tried the Thinkdiag 2 that got pretty far towards talking to the truck. Obtained the SGW (security gateway module) code and it recognises the VIN but can't see anything to choses from except a Durango. Tech support says 2017 and newer dont like IPhone app. Tried the Ancel Trucker HD120. It recognized the VIN but nothing beyond that They're customer service is non existent. Could anyone tell me what works on they're new truck and what I'm missing here. Brand, adaptor, model ??? Thanks.

Just get JScan, decent OBDII reader and proper SGW bypass cable.

Recommended Parts list here: Just substitute JScan for AlfaOBD.

AlfaOBD

Has anyone played with AlfaOBD on their 2019 HD's yet? I'm curious if anything is accessible to "change" and if it just works. There is lots of different info out there on other forums, but i haven't found anything in regards to the 2019's. EDIT: AlfaOBD does work, here is the what is needed...

I'll check it out. Thanks. Im set on finding a scan tool that can force a regen.

Jscan or AlfaOBD can force regen and do so much more than a basic scan tool.

Big thanks Brutal.

Don’t think anyone has had any luck with being able to force a regen on a 22 or 23 yet with Alfa but I could be wrong.

??? I’ve done a couple of forced regents on my 22…

What makes you think that?

 

[jake2544]

Have read other threads where others have tried without success. Would like to hear from others that can confirm.

Interesting, I haven't noticed that.

I have done a stationary regen on my '22 with JScan, so I don't know why AlfaOBD wouldn't work.

I just got my JScan and am trying to do a forced regen on my 22 as well. I can't seem to find the page on my iphone app to make that happen. Using the OBD2 MX+ adapter. Any ideas or help on how to find that oh so special place?

Thanks
Chad

Thank you so much. Found it. I am still waiting on my Security Module bypass to arrive. I assume I need it to preform this function.
