5 Diagnosis
5.1 Intelligent Diagnosis (AutoDetect)
Through simple Bluetooth communication between the tablet and VCI device,
you can easily get the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) information of the
currently identified vehicle. Once the VIN is successfully identified, the system
will retrieve it from the remote server and then guide you to vehicle information
page without performing the step-by-step manual menu selection.
The vehicle information page lists all historical diagnostic records of the vehicle,
which lets the technician have a total command of the vehicle faults. In addition,
a quick dial to local diagnosis and diagnostic function are also available on this
page for reducing the roundabout time and increasing productivity.
