If you choose "Manual selection", then you can continue to select the vehicle brand, year, and model of the vehicle in the sub-menu to diagnosis the vehicle. Enter "System Selection", you can also diagnose the vehicle according to the system according to your needs after selecting the model.
c) If you need to view the list of functions covered by the model, you can click the PDF icon at the top right of the model brand button.
Read ECU Information: This function is to read ECU version information, which is the equivalent of "System Identification" or "System information in some electronic control systems, all mean to read ECU related software and hardware versions, models and production date of diesel engine, part number, etc. It is convenient for us to make record in the maintenance process, and it also makes data feedback and management easier.
Read Trouble Code: Read trouble codes stored in ECU. Fig 4-6 *Tip: In the process of diagnosis, if the device shows “System is OK” or “No Trouble Code”, it means there is no related trouble code stored in ECU or some troubles are not under the control of ECU, most of these troubles are mechanical system troubles or executive circuit troubles, it is also possible that signal of the sensor may bias within limits, which can be judged in Live Data.
Clear Trouble Code: It allows to clear current and historical trouble codes memory in ECU, under the premise that all the troubles are eliminated. Fig 4-7 The trouble codes can’t be erased without eliminating all the troubles, which will cause the diagnostic tool always reading the trouble code because the code will always be saved in ECU. Suggestion: users should better not to clear trouble codes, we need record the trouble details after reading code, which is provided as reference for maintenance.
Read Live Data: that is to read the parameters of running engine, such as oil pressure, temperature, engine speed, fuel oil temperature, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, etc. Based on these parameters, we can judge directly where the problem lies, which helps to narrow the scope in maintenance. For some vehicles, during their actual operation, the problems such as performance characteristics offset, sensitivity reduction, can be judged in live data.
stored in ECU or some troubles are not under the control of ECU, most of these troubles are mechanical system troubles or executive circuit troubles, it is also possible that signal of the sensor may bias within limits, which can be judged in Live Data. Actuation Test: mainly to judge whether these actuating components of engine are working properly. Fig 4-9 Frozen Frame: When the signal of the sensor is abnormal, the ECU will save the data at that moment of failure to form a frozen frame.
The living data items supported by vehicles of different brands are not exactly the same, so the frozen frames displayed when diagnosing vehicle of different brands may also be different. Some vehicles may not have the option of frozen frame, because the model does not support this function.
5 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS The D8 Smart Diagnosis System supports 23 commonly used special reset functions, allowing you to quickly access your vehicle system for various scheduled services, maintenance and reset performance, eliminating the need to reset after resolving common problems. This user manual lists some of the commonly used special reset services for your reference.
a) Due to the limitation of screenshots, the special functions shown in this picture are not complete. b) All special functions supported by D8 are subject to the actual special functions displayed on the device. KEY PROGRAMMING An immobilizer is an anti-theft mechanism that prevents a vehicle’s engine from starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present. Most new vehicles have an immobilizer as standard equipment.
To prevent the car being used by unauthorized keys, the anti-theft key matching function must be performed so that the immobilizer control system on the car identifies and authorizes remote control keys to normally use the car. When the ignition switch key, ignition switch, combined instrument panel, ECU, BCM, or remote-control battery is replaced, anti-theft key matching must be performed. The Key Programming service can disable a lost vehicle key and program the replacement key fob.
EPB RESET Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) System reset is a popular special function. You can use this function to reset the electronic parking brake system and brake pads, which also supports the brake pad replacement (retraction, release of the brake pump), G-sensor and body angle calibration. This function has multiple uses and can safely and effectively maintain the electronic brake system.
OIL LIGHT RESET Reset the Engine Oil Life System, which calculates the optimum oil life change interval based on the vehicle's driving conditions and climate. The oil life reminder must be reset each time the oil is changed so that the system can calculate when the next oil change is required. This function allows you to perform reset for the engine oil life system, which calculates an optimal oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate.
before calibration. In addition, the VIN is also read from the instrument cluster and stored permanently in the SAS EEPROM. On successful completion of calibration, the SAS fault memory is automatically cleared. To reset the steering angle, first find the relative zero-point position for the car to drive in straight line. Taking this position as reference, the ECU can calculate the accurate angle for left and right steering.
Write injector actual code or rewrite code in the ECU to the injector code of the corresponding cylinder so as to more accurately control or correct cylinder injection quantity. After the ECU or injector is replaced, injector code of each cylinder must be confirmed or re-coded so that the cylinder can better identify injectors to accurately control fuel injection. *Note a) After cleaning, generally there is no need to do the coding matching function.
a) When performing ABS Bleeding, it is necessary to unscrew the exhaust screw of the ABS pump. b) After completing the tire pressure sensor learning, it takes a while for the fault light to go out. c) Tire pressure imbalance will also cause the tire pressure light to light up. GEARBOX MATCH After changing the gearbox or changing the gearbox ECU, you need to use the gearbox matching function to re-match the engine and the gearbox.
the MIL turns off. This function can complete the self-learning of the gearbox and improve the quality of shifting. After the engine ECU, crankshaft position sensor, or crankshaft flywheel is replaced, or the DTC 'tooth not learned' is present, tooth learning must be performed. SRS RESET Supplemental Restrgint System (SRS) Reset allows you resets the airbag data to clear the airbag collision fault indicator.
the DPF light and “Check Engine” indicators displaying. A service regeneration can be requested in the workshop using the diagnostic tool. DPF regeneration is used to clear PM (Particulate Matter) from the DPF filter through continuous combustion oxidation mode (such as high temperature heating combustion, fuel additive or catalyst reduce PM ignition combustion) to stabilize the filter performance. DPF regeneration may be performed in the following cases: The exhaust back pressure sensor is replaced.
Battery matching must be performed in the following cases: Main battery is replaced. Battery matching must be performed to clear original low battery information and prevent the related control module from detecting false information. If the related control module detects false information, it will invalidate some electric auxiliary functions, such as automatic start & stop function, sunroof without one-key trigger function, power window without automatic function. Battery monitoring sensor.
The shock absorber is not the same height due to air leakage, maintenance, replacement, etc.; After replacing the air pump assembly; After replacing the control tablet ECU. CYLINDER This function is suitable for power balance after replacing and repairing the cylinder. TPMS RESET Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Reset allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle ECU, as well as to perform TPMS replacement and reset procedures after tire sensors are replaced.
tire is replaced, tire pressure sensor is damaged, and tire is replaced for the car with tire pressure monitoring function. TYRE REFIT This function is used to set the size parameters of refitting or replacing tires. HEAD ADJUSTMENT This function is used to initialize the adaptive headlight system. It refers to the adaptive front lighting system (when using bi-xenon headlights at night), it can be rotated to the sides, pressing the button means that they remain direct, and do not turn when you turn.
