BenchForce™ GM Gen III LS-Series P01 P59 PCM Enthusiast Bundle

WELCOME TO THE BENCHFORCE™ FAMILY!
BenchForce Enthusiast Bundles make available to you the BenchForce product line with a buy-in that is 50% less than BenchForce commercial starter kits. This all-inclusive, application-specific bundle will give you the opportunity to grow. Simply choose from around 150 (and counting!) ECU programming harnesses from BenchForce as you need them.
BENCHFORCE™ ENTHUSIAST BUNDLES ARE AN EFI CONVERSIONS EXCLUSIVE
Through the use of the latest 3D printing technology, we offer enthusiasts a low-cost switch assembly with multi-color enclosure, called the PowerBlock™ Basic. Inside the robust plastic enclosure is the same production circuit board assembly that is used with every BenchForce PowerBlock, including those that feature anodized CNC billet aluminum enclosures. Should you have a need or preference for purchasing a PowerBlock from our commercial series (which simply means with an aluminum enclosure), you won't need to purchase any other accessories to work with the items included with this enthusiast bundle.
ALL 1996-NEWER OBD-II COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS ARE SUPPORTED

PowerBlock Basic supports all 1996-newer OBD-II communication protocols through a fully populated 16 pin OBD-II Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC). The circuit board mounted DLC maps to the 24 pin header. ECU harnesses are built to make connections to the appropriate 24 pin header pins so that your programming interface tool, connected to the 16 pin DLC, will be able to send and receive data with the connected ECU. BenchForce offers several DLC adapter harnesses for programming interface tools requiring connections to other types of DLC connectors (like 9 pin J1939, Polaris, and so on). DLC adapters are sold separately and only through BenchForce. PowerBlock Basic is ready for use with popular programming interfaces like GM Tech 2, GM MDI, HP Tuners MPVI devices, and EFILive FlashScan devices.
ALL ONBOARD OBD-II PROGRAMMABLE MODULES ARE SUPPORTED

The Aptiv (formerly Delphi) 24 pin Micro-Pack 100 header is a component in many GM automobile modules. BenchForce uses this connection to interface ECU harnesses with PowerBlock Basic. Many pins are mapped to the 16 pin OBD-II DLC while others are used for battery, ignition, and ground. BenchForce offers nearly 150 (and counting!) ECU programming harnesses. For modules not yet supported through an ECU programming harness, you may choose to build your own harness to support the module you are working with. BenchForce offers ECU harnesses for just about every enthusiast's needs.
BATTERY AND SWITCHED IGNITION LED INDICATORS

The top of PowerBlock Basic features flush-mounted LEDs to indicate 12V battery power and 12V switched ignition power. 12V battery power is connected through a 2.1mm DC barrel jack on the side. 12V switched ignition power is then applied by using a 3-way rocker switch.
QUICK-CONNECT 12V 2.1MM BARREL JACK

With flexibility and service in mind, PowerBlock Basic features a circuit board mounted 2.1mm barrel jack with center pin 12V battery positive. The maximum supported current is 5A. We include a pigtail for use with your bench power supply. You can optionally use an AC to DC power supply with a 2.1mm barrel connector with center pin being 12V battery positive. You can purchase an AC to 12V DC power supply directly from BenchForce.
12V IGNITION WITH SELECTABLE 120 OHM CAN TERMINATION

Vehicle ECUs that communicate via CAN bus are on a wired network with 120 ohm resistors applied across the CAN+ and CAN- wires on each end of the bus. The terminating resistors are CAN bus spec and are used to avoid signal reflections (bad signals) on the bus. In many cases, the Engine Control Module (ECM) contains one of the two 120 ohm termination resistors. Typically, one termination resistor will allow successful communication. When no termination resistor is found on the CAN bus, PowerBlock Basic allows you to use the 3 way ignition switch to turn ON ignition and apply a 120 ohm terminating resistor across the CAN bus wires on 16 pin OBD-II DLC.

BENCHFORCE - VEHICLE WIRING SIMPLIFIED FOR THE BENCH
The BenchForce modular product line makes it easy for you to power up ECUs on the bench for read/write access using your programming interface tool and software. PowerBlock Basic does not perform as a PC-to-vehicle programming interface. Using your tools and software you are already familiar with, you will eliminate additional messaging on the communication bus from modules otherwise in the vehicle.
WHY CHOOSE BENCHFORCE?
BenchForce products are designed and manufactured by EFI Connection, LLC in the USA. Through years of offboard programming experience and customer feedback, PowerBlock Basic was designed to meet the needs of commercial businesses and hobbyists for service programming and custom tuning use. BenchForce solved the following limitations of lesser quality solutions being sold today:
  • No unnecessary wiring as the result of the use of a protected circuit board assembly.
  • Internal 5A resettable fuse.
  • Durable plastic enclosure with flush-mounted LED indicators.
  • Fully populated 16 pin OBD-II DLC for support of all vehicle communication protocols.
  • Switchable 120 ohm CAN termination.
  • Modular design that allows for around 150 available ECU programming harnesses at the time of this writing
UNDER THE HOOD - POWERBLOCK BASIC INTERNALS


With the top of the PowerBlock Basic removed, you can see our well thought out circuit board assembly with high-quality components. This is the same circuit board assembly that is used with every BenchForce PowerBlock. Every BenchForce Enthusiast Bundle has tremendous value without compromise.
POWERBLOCK BASIC ON THE BENCH


This image represents the typical usage of BenchForce products. Connected to PowerBlock Basic are a programming interface cable (in this case HP Tuners MPVI2), an ECU and its harness (in this case E67 ECM), and a 12V battery power source (in this case an adjustable power supply). The laptop is ready to read/write the ECM calibration using HP Tuners VCM Editor software.

Looking at this photo, the following are included:
  • PowerBlock Basic
  • 2.1mm DC power cable pigtail (without shown battery clips)
  • ECU programming harness as advertised from above.
Looking at this photo, the following are NOT included:
  • GM E67 ECM
  • Adjustable AC to DC power supply
  • HP Tuners MPVI2 programming interface cable
  • Laptop with HP Tuners software.
