The OBDSTAR M002 is a power supply cable with clips that is used to provide external power to OBDSTAR diagnostic devices or electronic control modules (ECMs) and transmission control modules (TCMs). It is not a diagnostic or cloning cable on its own but is an essential accessory for bench-mode procedures. 
 
Primary function:
 
The main purpose of the M002 cable is to ensure a stable and reliable power source during bench-mode programming, flashing, or cloning of an ECM or TCM. By connecting directly to the vehicle's battery or another external power source, it helps prevent errors that could occur from low or unstable voltage during these sensitive operations. 
 
How it works: 
 
The cable has crocodile clips on one end to connect to a 12V battery and a multi-pin connector on the other end to interface with your OBDSTAR tool's main cable. When working on a module on the workbench, you use the M002 to supply power to both the module and the diagnostic tool. 
 
Compatible tools and uses
The M002 cable is compatible with a range of OBDSTAR tools that support ECU programming, including:
  • DC706
    : OBDSTAR's dedicated ECU cloning and programming tool.
  • G3
    : When used with the ECU flasher license.
  • Motorcycle tools: The cable is also used with motorcycle-specific diagnostic kits for certain operations on motorcycle systems. 
Key accessories:
 
The M002 cable works in conjunction with other accessories to perform bench-mode tasks, such as:
  • ECM-001 cable: A universal cable kit with probes for direct connection to an ECM's circuit board.
  • TCM cable set: Specialized cables for connecting to various transmission control modules. 
In summary, the M002 is a critical but often overlooked component for anyone performing bench-mode ECU or TCM work with OBDSTAR equipment. It ensures that the devices and modules have a stable power supply, protecting against data corruption during the flashing or cloning process.
