This article is to summarise our latest updates made to our adblue emulator for Mercedes Euro 5 MP3 series trucks. Can smart adblue emulator is suitable for most Mercedes EURO 5 HGV models such as Actros, Axor, Atego, Econic etc.. Although we have not tested it on buses equipped with Mercedes engines, our customerss have also managed to successfully fit this emulator to bus makes such as Setra,     So the list of vehicles that our adblue emulator would work on is constantly growing, we are doing our best to keep our product descriptions up to date, but it does take time so please do not hesitate to contact us to confirm possibilities.. 

We specialise in Mercedes Emission system problems so no matter what emission standard Mercedes you are having a problem with, be it Euro 4, Euro 5, Euro 6 or even the newest MP5 series Mercedes heavy goods vehicles, or other brand vehicles with Mercedes engine, we should be able to help. 

Let’s get back to the updates made to our Mercedes MP3 adblue emulator. There are four main points we would like to discuss: 

Self diagnosis function enabled: our Mercedes MP3 Euro 5 adblue emulator will now have an easy to configure led light indicators fitted to make sure installation is as easy as can be. Installing MP3 adblue emulator is not the easiest of jobs and mistakes are possible, however, with our Can Smart emulator you will be able to diagnose and correct the problem instantly. So for example, if you mixed up your Can Hi and Can Lo lines, that is what the led lights will indicate, or perhaps you did not disconnect SCR system after installing emulator, less will indicate that this is where the problem is. This update was made with our customers in mind and we are happy to report that feedback has been great so far.  

Design update: to be able to accommodate newly integrated self diagnosis led lights and updated PCB we had to come up with a new casing design. We were successful in doing so and our main goals to make it as compact and as sturdy as possible have been achieved. We are very happy with the results and are proud to present this product to our customers. 

PCB update: PCB became smaller, but more powerful. This is due to us upgrading its main components, such as processor, to the very latest and the best there is. Additional measures were also taken to protect PCB and make sure its working life is as long as can be. Therefor a special coating is now applied to the Mercedes Euro 5 adblue emulator circuit boards to further enhance protection against conditions and elements it will go through.  

Software update: Lastly, we have uploaded our MB MP3 adblue emulators with the very latest, up to date software ensuring this is truly the best emulator we can offer.

Our Can Smart Cummins Euro 5 adblue emulators are probably the most reliable and altogether simply the best solution on the market today. It was developed specifically for DAF LF45, DAF LF55 trucks, but it works on many other trucks such as DAF CF65, buses/coaches such as KingLong and other EURO 5 standard vehicles equipped with Cummins engines..

We are happy to report further improvements updates were just finished on our Cummins Euro5 emulator range so that we can make the emulator itself, and also installing it, the best and easiest.  The range did not change, we are still offering two emulator versions: wired or plug & go, however improvements were made to both products to further increase quality and reliability as well as making installation as easy as possible for our customers. 

Wired emulator had new PCB which was created using latest components, such as upgrading processor,   etc.. further improving its performance speeds and reliability. This was followed by latest software update. Self diagnosis function was also updated and emulator design changed to allow for convenient led lights to be displayed on the emulator which would show if there is a problem with connection allowing you to diagnose and correct the problem instantly. So it’ll show if can lines are connected correctly or not, if power supply is ok and also if SCR system was disabled correctly. Emulator comes with installation instructions and on-board self diagnosis option in our emulators were made to make it as easy as possible for our customers to it. With all above upgrades it easily makes this product once of the best solutions for disconnecting SCR in Cummins powered heavy goods vehicle, buses etc.. 

Plug & Go Cummins Euro 5 adblue emulator had new PCB, latest software update and much sturdier casing. It is still very easy to install as it was before, it simply plugs in to nox sensor. Being installed on the outside it has to be 100% water and dirt proof and of a sturdy construction our latest updates had addressed this to further improve this, which together with other above described updates, makes this product possibly the smartest, easiest to install and most reliable plug & go cummins Euro 5 adblue emulator in the World. Add to that our service, technical support and rock solid 2 year warranty and you should have the piece of mind you are getting the best there is.. 

Further measures were also applied to protect emulator PCB and prolong its longevity. Both PCB’s are now treated/coated with a special compounds to protect it further from any short circuit breakers and the conditions/elements it may be subjected to during its service. This is to make sure our emulators will serve our customers well and for a long time.   

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any CUMMINS related emission problems or enquiries, we are very experienced in this field and wild our best to find/offer a solution. 

Our Cummins Euro 6 adblue emulator is still under development. Unfortunately, we are running late launching this product and although we did plat to finish and release it for retail this year it now looks unlikely. Update will follow and our trade customers will be notified as soon as we have news on this, but for now, unfortunately, we do not offer Cummins Euro 6 emulators..

Limp mode reset tool does exactly ‘what it says on the tin’ – it resets limp mode in heavy goods vehicles. Obviously, it will not fix the problem, it will simply reset limp mode temporarily allowing driver to get to the destination, back to base or to a safe place to stop. Each time limp mode reset tool is plugged into OBD diagnostic port it will reset limp mode and instantly return vehicle to full power.

Truck Help limp mode reset tool is exceptional value for money, imagine being stuck on the road in limp mode and having to call out mobile mechanic or recovery service, all of this hassle and expenditures can be avoided.. Having your limp mode reseted only once will probably cost you more that what you can buy our limp mode reset tool for ! Being able to instantly return vehicle to full power in limp mode emergency will not only save you money, but also time.

Below, we will try to clarify a few things by answered some of most common questions we get from our customers:

How does it work ?
Truck Help limp mode reset device uses diagnostic protocols to reset limp mode, meaning it works just as any other diagnostic device. A special fault clearing algorithms are used to reset limp mode and return vehicle to full power instantly. Device is fully automatic, all you need to do is turn ignition on and plug it into OBD port, device will do the rest. It can be used unlimited number of times and is unreplaceable gadget to have in limp mode emergencies.

Can I use it on any truck ?
No. Each device is programmed to a certain truck make. So Volvo device will work on Volvo trucks, DAF device will work only on DAF trucks and so on.. In some cases there will be further variations, for example in Volvo trucks one device will suit FH, FM, FMX models, but a different device would be required for FE, FL models. Same goes for DAF, one device will work on XF and CF models, but a different device would be required for LF rucks..

So in summary, Truck Help limp mode reset devices are not universal and will only work on vehicle make/models it was programmed for. Each of our products has detailed description on which trucks it is suitable for so please read through details to make sure you are getting what you need.

Our limp mode reset tools can be re-programmed to suit another make/model. So if you have changed your truck in the future you can always get in touch and we’ll be happy to re-program it for you for a small fee.

Does it delete limp mode or just reset it temporarily ?
It does not delete limp mode and does not in any other way interfere with any of the electronic control units in the vehicle. Truck Help limp mode reset tool will temporarily reset limp mode using diagnostic communication protocols just as any other diagnostic tool. Being a temporary reset, limp mode will of course come back again, in which case you can reset it again and again, but to get rid of limp mode permanently you will need to fix the actual problem causing limp mode. Our limp mode reset device was developed to help drivers when stuck in limp mode to reach their destination or a safe place to stop on full power without having to spend vast amounts of money on mobile mechanic or recovery services.

How many times can I reset limp mode in my truck ?
Device can be used unlimited number of times and comes with 2 year unlimited usage warranty.

How long will it be till limp mode comes back again after resetting it ?
This question is practically impossible to answer. Reseting limp mode will instantly return vehicle to full power temporarily, but it will not get rid of limp mode for good nor it will fix the problem. How long will it take for limp mode to come back depends on many factors, such as what active faults/errors are there, how long have they been active, where and how the vehicle is driven and so on.. We guarantee it will always reset limp mode and return your vehicle to full power time and time again, but time periods between the limp mode being reset and it coming back again depends on many factors as described above.

Is it safe to use ?
It is perfectly safe to use. Using Truck Help limp mode reset tool is nothing more than using a standard diagnostic equipment.
