2 Introduction

2.1 Why We Need a Battery Configuration Tool

This section illustrates why we need the battery configuration tool when change the battery of
modern vehicles.

Start-stop System: No Movement, No Fuel Consumption

In response to climate change, governments around the world are increasing environment
regulations on vehicle to improve vehicle fuel economy and reduce emissions. For example,
Europe has stipulated that by 2015, emission of 100 percent of the vehicles on its roads be
reduced to 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The requirements of strictly emission control put a
strain on vehicle emission technology.

In automobiles, a start-stop system or stop-start system automatically shuts down and restarts the
internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, The electrical
consumer units in the vehicle continue to be supplied during the stop and the current energy
consumption is monitored. When the journey is to be continued, operating the clutch automatically
restarts the engine. This means in the standstill phases no fuel is consumed and no CO2 is
emitted. This feature is present in hybrid electric vehicles, but has also appeared in vehicles
which lack a hybrid electric powertrain.

Devices of this type have been tested since the mid-1970s, when the Toyota corporation fitted a
Crown sedan with an electronic device that would automatically switch off the engine after sitting
stationary for 1.5 seconds. Citroën introduced a more refined system in its C2 and C3 models by
2006, named "Stop and Start", followed by BMW, Fiat Group, Ford, Honda, Opel, Renault
,Volkswagen and so on.

Why We Need Battery Configuration Tool

As one of the potential issues with Start-Stop vehicles, replacing the battery is, unlike a traditional
starter battery, is not a simple procedure. With a start-stop system, the battery is strictly linked to
the power distribution system and the electronic control unit. So when a battery has to be
replaced, you have to take into consideration the impact it will have on the control unit and on any
Stop Start system installed. Some manufacturers, like the Volkswagen-Audi group, require a code
to be inserted when the battery is replaced; others (BMW) might show an error message when the
battery is replaced and it will remain until the system is updated after replacement. It requires both
skill and a diagnostic tool to ensure the correct installation is completed and any error message
resolved.

OBD-II/EOBD menu lets you access all OBD service modes. According to ISO 9141-2, ISO
14230-4, and SAE J1850 standards, the OBD application is divided into several sub programs,
called ‘Service $xx’. Below is a list of OBD diagnostic services:

● Service $01 - request current powertrain diagnostic data

● Service $02 - request powertrain freeze frame data

● Service $03 - request emission-related diagnostic trouble codes

● Service $04 - clear/reset emission-related diagnostic information

● Service $05 - request oxygen sensor monitoring test results

● Service $06 - request on-board monitoring test results for specific monitored systems

● Service $07 - request emission-related diagnostic trouble codes detected during current or

last completed driving cycle

● Service $08 - request control of on-board system, test or component

● Service $09 - request Vehicle Information

When OBDII/EOBD application is selected from Home screen, the tool starts to detect the
communicaiton protocol autometically. Once the connection has established, a menu that lists all
of the tests available on the identified vehicle displays. Menu options typically include:

● System Status

Figure 5-2 Sample System Status Screen

5.2 Read Codes

Read Codes menu lets you read both stored codes and pending codes found in the control unit.
Typical menu options include:

● Stored Codes

● Pending Codes

Diagnostic trouble codes stored in a control module are used to help identify the cause of a
trouble or troubles with a vehicle. These codes have occurred a specific number of times and
indicate a problem that requires repair.

Pending codes are also referred to as maturing codes that indicate intermittent faults. If the fault
does not occur within a certain number of drive cycles (depending on vehicle), the code clears
from memory. If a fault occurs a specific number of times, the code matures into a DTC and the
MIL illuminates or blinks.

To read codes/pending codes from a vehicle:

3. Scroll with the arrow keys to highlight Read Codes from Diagnostic Menu and press the ENTER
key.

Figure 5-3 Sample Diagnostic Menu Screen

4. Select Stored Codes/Pending Codes and press the ENTER key to confirm. A code list
including code number and its description display

24

6. Press function key Save to store DTC information. Or use the BACK key to exit.

5.3 Erase Codes

Erase Codes menu lets you to clear all current and stored DTCs from the control module. Also it
erases all temporary ECU information, including freeze frame. So make sure that the selected
system are completely checked and serviced by technicians and no vital information will be lost
before clearing codes.

NOTE

● To clear codes, make sure that the ignition key is switched to ON with the engine off.

● Erase Codes does not fix the problem that caused the fault! DTCs should only be erased after

correcting the condition(s) that caused them.

To clear codes:

1. Scroll with the arrow keys to highlight Erase Codes from Diagnostic Menu and press the
ENTER.

Figure 5-7 Sample Diagnostic Menu Screen

2. Follow the on-screen instructions and answer questions about the vehicle being tested to

complete the procedure.

Menu options typically include:

● Complete Data List

● Custom Data List

25

5.4.1 Complete Data List

29

5.6 Read I/M Readiness Status Data

I/M Readiness option allows to view a snapshot of the operations for the emission system on
OBDII/EOBD vehicles.

I/M Readiness is a useful function used to check if all monitors are OK or N/A. The vehicle’s
computer performs tests on the emission system during normal driving conditions. After a specific
amount of drive time (each monitor has specific driving conditions and time required), the
computer’s monitors decide if the vehicles emission system is working correctly.

When the monitor’s status is:

● OK - vehicle was driven enough to complete the monitor.

● INC (Incomplete) - vehicle was not driven enough to complete the monitor.

● N/A (Not Applicable) - vehicle does not support that monitor.

There are two types of I/M Readiness tests:

● Since DTCs Cleared - shows status of the monitors since the DTCs were last cleared.

● This Drive Cycle - shows status of monitors since the start of the current drive cycle.
