The SAE J2534 standard emerged from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation that fundamentally reshaped the automotive aftermarket repair landscape. Recognizing that independent repair shops should not be locked out of essential electronic service procedures, the EPA mandated that all automakers selling vehicles in North America must provide a standardized method for ECU reprogramming. The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) developed J2534 as a universal Application Programming Interface (API) that any compliant pass-thru device could use to communicate with any manufacturer's vehicle electronics.
Some newer Chrysler vehicles require specialized hardware beyond standard J2534 interfaces. For example, 2015–2018 Jeep Renegade, Fiat 500X, Fiat Spider, the all-new Jeep Compass, and Alfa Romeo Giulia vehicles require DrewTech's CarDAQ "Mega-CAN Add-on Module" to support the specific CAN bus implementations used on these platforms. For 2018 and newer models, Chrysler utilizes a
