HP Tuners Smart Access Cable (2018-2022 3.0L EcoDiesel / 2019-2024 6.7L Cummins)

What It Does

The Smart Access Cable is the hardware interface HP Tuners requires to read, write, and run special functions on 2018 and newer Dodge, Jeep, RAM, and Chrysler vehicles built with a factory security gateway. Without it, MPVI4 cannot reach the controllers through the OBDII port on these vehicles.

It is a pass-through harness. It installs once at the security module and stays in the vehicle.

Why 2018 And Newer Vehicles Need One

From 2018, FCA platforms added a security gateway module between the diagnostic port and the vehicle network. Factory tooling is authenticated through it. Aftermarket interfaces are not.

• Read and write requests are refused at the gateway
• Calibration flashing fails or never starts
• Special functions and module communication return errors

The harness restores a direct path to the network so the tuning interface can do its work.

Vehicle Coverage

HP Tuners lists this harness for all 2018 and newer Dodge, Jeep, RAM, and Chrysler vehicles equipped with a factory security gateway. Applications Dieselr supports:

• 2019-2024 RAM 2500 / 3500 6.7L Cummins

Note: the cable requires an active internet connection during use.

Installation

One-time install, no cutting or splicing. Roughly fifteen minutes.

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery terminal.
2. Locate the security module in the vehicle.
3. Remove the wider plug from the security module and connect it to the end of the cable.
4. Plug the cable into the now vacant port on the security module.
5. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
6. Plug your MPVI4 into the factory OBDII port and proceed as normal.

Module location varies by platform. HP Tuners support will confirm the location for your year, make, and model.
