With a reliable diagnostic device, you always have all the important information at hand to optimally maintain and repair your vehicle.

GM Tech 2 adapter plugs and accessories – Reliable connection for professional vehicle diagnostics

Anyone working in vehicle diagnostics with General Motors vehicles knows the GM Tech 2 diagnostic tool as one of the most reliable tools for reading fault codes, programming ECUs, and monitoring systems. However, without the right cables and adapters, the device is useless. That's where our product range comes in: At auto-diagnostik.de, you'll find exclusively accessories and adapter plugs for the GM Tech 2 system – ideal for workshops, automotive technicians, and ambitious DIY mechanics.

Whether main cable, CANDI module or 16-pin adapter plug – our products guarantee secure communication between vehicle and diagnostic device and enable you to perform stable, precise and fast diagnostics.


What is the GM Tech 2 and what are the corresponding accessories needed for?

The GM Tech 2 diagnostic tool was originally developed by General Motors to perform professional diagnostics on vehicles from the GM group. This includes, among others, Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, and European brands such as Opel and Saab.

However, the device alone is not enough: Special accessories are required for it to be operational. These consist of:

  • a main cable that connects the device to the vehicle,

  • a CANDI module that supports CAN bus vehicles,

  • as well as a 16-pin adapter plug that allows connection to the OBD2 interface.

All these elements are crucial for the GM Tech 2 to function at its full potential – and you can find exactly these accessories in our shop.


Functions of the GM Tech 2 adapter plugs

A good adapter plug is the heart of reliable diagnostics. It ensures an uninterrupted connection between the diagnostic tool and the vehicle's OBD2 interface. With the appropriate GM Tech 2 adapter plug, you can:

  • Read and clear fault codes from all relevant control units,

  • Read live data, e.g. sensor values, motor data and system voltages,

  • Perform coding and programming on control units,

  • Resetting service intervals or performing functions such as key learning (depending on vehicle model and software version).

Our adapter plugs are specifically designed for GM vehicles, thus offering the highest compatibility and diagnostic quality.


The CANDI module – key to CAN bus communication

Modern vehicles manufactured from approximately 2004 onwards are generally equipped with a CAN bus system. To diagnose these vehicles with the GM Tech 2, the CANDI module (Controller Area Network Diagnostic Interface) is required. It acts as an intermediary between the diagnostic tool and the vehicle's CAN network.

Key advantages:

  • Supports the diagnosis of new GM vehicles with CAN protocol,

  • Enables access to control units that could not be addressed without a CANDI module,

  • Robust construction for continuous use in workshops,

  • Compatible with the GM Tech 2 via the standardized interface.

A CANDI module is therefore essential if you want to diagnose not only older vehicles (e.g. Opel Astra G, Vectra B), but also newer models such as Chevrolet Cruze, GMC Acadia or Cadillac CTS.

Main cable P/N P28769 – The stable connection

The GM Tech 2 main cable, part number P28769, is one of the most commonly used connection cables for diagnostics on GM vehicles. It connects the Tech 2 device directly to the vehicle's diagnostic connector.
