The "Read EDC17/MED17 PIN/CS in direct mode" function is used solely to read the PIN and CS of EDC17/MED17 ECUs, including 2012-on units with updated software that cannot be read normally over OBDII. The ECU is not read through the OBDII port: a direct connection to the ECU is required, either on the bench or in the car.
