2 . The software types of Navistar International
2.1 . Servicemaxx software
Perhaps this is the brand’s most known software. ServiceMaxx is diagnostic software specialized for MaxxForce engines of Navistar International. This is software designed specifically for engine system.
ServiceMaxx software has 2 versions:
- ServiceMaxx J1708: old MaxxForce engine diagnostic software using the J1708 communication protocol
- ServiceMaxx J1939: This software replaces the J1708 version, supports both J1708 and J1939 communication protocols.
For ServiceMaxx J1939, there are 2 versions:
- ServiceMaxx J1939 level 1: only basic diagnostics, cannot change parameters, cannot delete emissions (DPF, SCR delete)
- ServiceMaxx J1939 level 3: advanced diagnostics, parameters change, delete emissions, aftertreatment (DPF, SCR delete)
2.2. NED software
NED (Navistar Engine Diagnostics): alternative engine diagnostic software for ServiceMaxx J1939. Since 2017, Navistar no longer updates the Servicemaxx J1939 version but instead has developed a new version called NED. However in terms of interface, NED is no different from ServiceMaxx J1939. This software only supports newer engine versions.
