Both '05 and '06 KJ CRD are the only EFI systems that encounter any malfunction with ScanGauge and others - we all tried that back in ought seven, or so - no others have since showed functional - only DCJ's MOBILE STARSCAN has proved functional for monitoring the 2.8L CRD KJ in motion
People got aftermarket real-time scanners and power boxes in their MB Sprinter, Cummins Ram, GM Dmax, Ford Powerstroke, etc, etc - reasonably certain there is absolutely zero similarity between any of those and the DCJ KJ CRD system, so wouldn't be wise to compare any of those as justification for ignoring pertinent data previously accrued on this KJ forum
Point being: caution
All that is required is for the attached scanner to check for bus traffic and immediately pause and go tri-state to prevent contention with ABS, which is specific to this CRD system only - CPU operation is several orders of magnitude faster than bus speed, so it could be done if OE's were willing to modify their systems for the zero-market of the KJ CRD - so far, none have been willing to do so, considering our limited dead-end market
What is scary is the scanners interfere with ABS function\control of the brakes - who wants that at any speed, even in the driveway?
So, be very cautious - if the ABS indicator comes on, stop, kill the engine, dis-connect the UG, crank it back up, if you can clear the DTC's with UG, re-connect and do so, dis-connect it again B4 shifting into DRIVE and proceed cautiously from there -
