VCATS suffix with PDU,WDS,IDS
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I used to use PDU (back-in-the-day) to determine VCATS suffix for control modules for the part dept. if the label in the boot was obliterated. I found the ECM part number/suffix in the X308 with IDS but I don't remember how to find other modules or if I used PDU???
USE THE PORTABLE DIAGNOSTIC UNIT TO DETERMINE PART NUMBER SUFFIX
I have a car that was damaged and the VCATS label is GONE. I want to document all the modules part numbers and suffix for reference.
I tried all the places I found on IDS but the ECM was the only one shown.
I did not try WDS yet but the earliest version I have is something like 21.
I might GHOST a HDD and install it if I have to.
Anyone remember if the modules part numbers can be retrieved with WDS, IDS?????

Hi Bob
As far as WDS goes, I couldn't help you there as I'm not at the same site as the workshop anymore.
In regards to IDS, its pretty close to SDD. I remember having to do this on a vehicle before, and went through the tab that says " Network Integrity ". It gives module information, part number, software numbers, etc. As I manage PDI center now for my dealership, I don't have any interaction with IDS anymore. Hopefully this has helped in some way.
