That is the big question I have right now I'm hoping someone might know. I haven't tried hooking it up to anything to try to intercept data just yet, so I don't know if the sensor just constantly outputs data without being asked or if it will require a request for data before it sends. I think the DRB also supplies 12V to the switchbox over the cable, which is not exactly in the RS232 standard pinout, but makes some sense. That in and of itself would be easy enough to read with most microcontrollers. As best I can tell and guess, the switchbox itself outputs an RS232 signal to the DRB III. I took the switchbox and sensors apart and pulled the numbers off of all the chips I could see inside and have been trying to trace the wiring to get an idea of what goes to what. These sensors are a little more complicated than I was expecting, so I'm wondering if anyone out there has any background knowledge of the DRB III tool. My thought was I would plumb the signals into a simple microcontroller like an Arduino or even just a volt meter and figure out what angle corresponds to what output. I figured the sensors were probably typical 0-5V output or 4-20 mA like most lab style sensors you can find for data acquisition systems. I don't have a DRB III, but I have some background in sensors as I helped to set up the test department where I work and deal with sensors and DAQ equipment on and off.
All are available through ! Click here to see DRBIII vehicle application charts.So the other day I picked up a Miller 6990 kit, which has the control arm bushing remover/installer, the caster fixtures (for gen 2 unfortunately), and the inclinometers and switchbox used by the DRB III to read caster. PLEASE NOTE: The DRBIII will not work on CAN protocol vehicles, these newer generation vehicles require either the StarScan, Wi-Tech or StarMobile tool to service them at OEM levels. Chrysler has stopped all further production of this tool. PLEASE NOTE: This tool is now available in limited quantities as we are selling off our demonstrator units. This package will put you at a "Dealer Equivalent" level! Access is to all systems and all functions.
Also available is an add-on optional PCMCIA card that allows the servicing of vehicles as far as the mid 80's on all Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles. DRB-III model year coverages are from 2007 back to the mid 90's.

The DRB-III 'Emulator' application was designed to be a replacement for the original hand held DRB-III, however it does not provide 100% application capabilities for these vehicles. Please be aware that the DRBIII was the factory tool for all non-CAN vehicles but is currently out of production and only limited supplies are available. This optional kit then allows for the servicing of non-CAN Chryslers back to the mid 1990's. (A 'day pass' fee will be charged by Chrysler when user requires a flash file download)Īn optional package can be added to this kit that provides a 'DRB-III emulator' program. This OEM application from OEMTools also includes an account set-up to Chrysler's T/A site that is used for reflashing all controllers by providing individual file downloads from Chrysler's site as needed. Total CAN model year coverage continues right up through the current model year. Designed for the introduction of 'CAN' application vehicles, coverage starts in model year 2004 with the Dodge Durango and continues to expand its coverage through 2008 model year when virtually every 2008 and newer vehicle uses 'CAN' protocol.
The wiTech Diagnostic Application requires the Micropod2 interface device that connects between the laptop and the vehicle. WiTech Diagnostic Application is the laptop based Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep OEM tool for all Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles that use the 'CAN' protocol.
