I need to calibrate my steering wheel angle sensor after replacing the steering shaft, I have an original Vocom II 88890400 that works perfectly fine with TechTool, but won't work with Bendix Acom 6.7 even though I see the Vocom in the list of adapters, I tried both USB and Wireless and none worked, I believe this 2015 VNL780 has a EC-80 ECU but for some reason I can't get to it on Acom, the ECU is powered and the fuse is fine.
I'm afraid that I will need to buy a Nexiq or an older Vocom to program the sensor and get rid of the Check brake ECU message on the truck.

You can buy or borrow something cheaper. Chinese INLINE 6 or USA made Buy vehicle datalink adapters and cables.
Grandview tested. Plus it's nice program coming with Grandview to read and command J1939 network. -

I'll see if I can find another version, but I don't think any will work woth Vocom II, so far all documentation of Bendix that I've read on Acom releases don't mention Vocom II 88890400 in the list of supported adapters. Every version release lists Vocom 88890300 88890200 88890020 88890018, so I went ahead and ordered a Nexiq that will be delivered by Tuesday, hopefully.

UPDATE: The nexiq was lost in shipping and I said ##*k it I'll risk it with 6.16.5.0
The Vocom II works like a charm with Bendix Acom 6.16.5.0 even though the release notes for this version don't mention Vocom II, and listed only the older Volvo interfaces on list of supported data links.
And my EC-80 ecu didn't get bricked thankfully, as I mentioned above that this version is known to toast EC-80s and that's why Bendix pulled it off it's website just days after it was released back then and advised to use the previous version until they released 6.16.5.1
