4 DIAGNOSIS The diagnostic application can read ECU information, read and clear DTC and check living data and freeze frames. The diagnosis application can access the electronic control unit (ECU) of various vehicle control systems, including the engine, transmission, anti-lock braking system (ABS), airbag system (SRS), and perform kinds of actuation tests.
2. Connect the vehicle, the VCI box and the tablet following the diagram below. Usually, the OBD port is located under the dashboard, inside driver’s footwell. 3. Wait for the VCI box to communicate with the tablet, then click into the menus to perform the functions. If necessary, please connect the VCI box with the tablet using the USB 3.0 to USB-B cable, especially when working on some processes that needs to transfer lots of data, like resetting the immobilizer ECU.
VEHICLE SELECTION Click the “Diagnosis” icon on the main screen and get into the diagnosis menu. Like the immobilizer menu, the brands will be shown on the screen. Select the region of your vehicle, click the correct brand, and start the diagnosis process. Fig 4-2 For some of the vehicle brands (like Volkswagen), when you click on the software, there are several ways to select the model or system you want to run a diagnosis, including Automatic Detection, Manual Selection, and System Selection.
Fig 4-3 Automatic Detection will automatically identify the vehicle's VIN code, and then read the information of your target diagnostic object. 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. OBDII menu supports reading the common fault codes in the engine.
DIAGNOSE FUNCTIONS The Diagnosis System supports 5 basic diagnosis functions: Read ECU Information Read/Clear Trouble Code Read Live Data Actuation Test (Bi-Directional Control) Freeze Frame Fig 4-4 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, which means to read ECU-related 25
software and hardware versions, models, and production date of diesel engine, part number, etc. Fig 4-5 Read Trouble Code Read trouble codes that are stored in ECU. For the fault code, the diagnostic instrument will give specific detailed definitions and explanations to help you locate and eliminate the car fault.
Fig 4-6 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.
Fig 4-7 The trouble codes can’t be erased without eliminating all the troubles, which will cause the diagnostic tool to always read the trouble code because the code will always be saved in ECU. Read Live Data That is to read the parameters of the system, like for engine diagnosis, there are parameters like oil pressure, temperature, engine speed, fuel oil temperature, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, etc.
Fig 4-8 Actuation Test Actuation test, also known as bidirectional control, is a generic term used to describe sending and receiving information between one device and another. The vehicle engineers responsible for designing computer control systems programmed them so a scan tool could request information or command a module to perform specific tests and functions. Some manufacturers refer to bidirectional controls as functional tests, actuator tests, inspection tests, system tests, or the like.
Fig 4-9 This function allows the device to send information to and receive information from, vehicle control modules. For example, in the case of OBD II generic information Mode 1 (which relates to data parameters), the scan tool user initiates a request for information from the powertrain control module (PCM), and the PCM responds by sending the information back to the scan tool for display. Most enhanced scan tools also can actuate relays, injectors, and coils, perform system tests, etc.
Fig 4-10 Freeze Frame When the signal of the sensor is abnormal, the ECU will save the data at that moment of failure to form a freeze frame. It is usually used to analyze the reasons that may lead to car failures. The living data items supported by vehicles of different brands are not exactly the same, so the freeze frames displayed when diagnosing vehicle of different brands may also be different.
5 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS D9 Smart Diagnosis System also supports 20+ 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. The special functions interface is shown as below: Fig 5-1 Due to the limitation of screenshots, the special functions shown in this picture are not complete.
▼Below we will introduce the 15 most commonly used service & maintenance functions OIL 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.
applications include deactivating and activating brake control systems, assisting in controlling brake fluid, opening and closing brake pads, and setting brakes after replacing brake discs or brake pads, etc. 1. If the brake pad wears the brake pad sense line, the brake pad sense line sends a signal sense line to the onboard tablet to replace the brake pad. After replacing the brake pad, you must reset the brake pad. Otherwise, the car alarms. 2.
rod, steering knuckle), performing four-wheel alignment, or recovering the car body, you must reset the steering angle. DPF The Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) function manages DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in, and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit. The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration. Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven more with higher load and speed.
The DPF regeneration MIL is on and maintenance is performed. The DPF regeneration control module is replaced. BMS RESET The Battery Management System (BMS) allows the scan tool to evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement, and activate the rest state of the vehicle.
values stored on ECU to the default state. Doing so can accurately control the actions of regulating throttle (or idle engine) to adjust the amount of air intake. TPMS RESET Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Reset allows you to quickly lookup the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle ECU, as well as to perform TPMS replacement and reset procedures after tire sensors are replaced.
2. If the ABS tablet, ABS pump, brake master cylinder, brake cylinder, brake line, or brake fluid is replaced, the ABS bleeding function must be performed to bleed the ABS. 3. After the oil in the brake oil tank is seriously insufficient or the brake fluid is replaced, ABS Bleeding is also required When performing ABS Bleeding, it is necessary to unscrew the exhaust screw of the ABS pump. After completing the tire pressure sensor learning, it takes a while for the fault light to go out.
*Cautions! Before resetting the gearbox, please check the gearbox control unit to ensure that there is no fault code. If there is a fault code, the gearbox memory function cannot be reset. Please road test after reset. SUSPENSION This function can adjust the height of the vehicle’s body. When replacing the body height sensor in the air suspension system, or control module or when the vehicle level is incorrect, you need to perform this function to adjust the body height sensor for level calibration.
SEAT CALIBRATION This function is suitable for the matching of replacement and maintenance seats with memory functions. After the seat fails or is replaced or repaired, it is generally necessary to use this function to match the seat. Needed for cars with seats with memory function, general gasoline cars don’t need. HEADLIGHT This function is used to initialize the adaptive headlight system.
Brushing to hide will not destroy the ECU system layer, but only open and close some functions. Most of them can be re-flashed multiple times. 6 REPORT Diagnostic Report is used for viewing and printing the saved files, such as Live Data, Trouble Codes, or pictures generated in the process of diagnosis, users also can view a record of which cars have been previously tested.
