  • Vehicle programming and diagnostic device with integrated battery charger
    Patent number: 10445953
    Abstract: A vehicle computer service device for programming and/or diagnosing a vehicle computer system includes a case defining an internal compartment, with a battery charger and a control retained within the compartment. The control includes a controller and a computer having a display with the computer being operably connected with the controller and the controller configured to be operatively connected with the OBD port of a vehicle to reprogram computer control modules of the vehicle. The control may detect when the battery charger is connected to a vehicle battery and be configured to be inoperable to reprogram a computer control module of a vehicle when the control is unconnected to a vehicle battery. A pair of posts extend from the case, where cables may be attached to the posts and the terminals of a battery of a vehicle that is being reprogrammed to ensure the vehicle is powered during a reprogramming operation.
