5.2.1 Read Codes

Read Codes menu lets you read trouble codes found in the control unit.

There are 4 types of code status:

●

Present/Permanent/Current

●

Pending

● History

● Self-diagnostic

Present/Permanent/Current 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.

History codes are also referred to as past codes that indicate intermittent
DTCs that are not currently active. Code history is number of engine starts
since DTC(s) were first detected (to see if they are current or intermittent).

Self-diagnostic lets you manually activate system tests that check for DTCs.
Usually it includes a KOEO (Key-on, engine-off) test and a KOER (key-on,
engine-running) test.

To read codes from a vehicle:

1. Press Read Codes from Select Diagnostic Function menu. A code list

including code number and its description displays. The red icon

means there is help information available for the code. The green icon

5.2.5 Active Tests

Active Tests, also known as Actuator Tests, are bi-directional diagnostic tests
on vehicle systems and component. The tests let you to use the scanner
temporarily activate or control a vehicle system or component, and when you
exit the test, the system/component returns to normal operation.

Some tests display a command to the operator. For example, if “Press Brake
Pedal” displays, the operator has to press and hold the brake pedal and then
continue. The sequence, number and type of tests are dictated by the control
module.

On some systems, the actuator tests cannot be restarted until the ignition key
is switched off for some time. Alternatively, briefly start and run the engine,

Premier Diagnostic Platform i70Pro User's Manual V1.01

47

shut down, turn the ignition to the run position, then re-initiate the actuator
tests.

IMPORTANT

The tests activate a component, but they do not check if the component is

working correctly. Make sure the components to be tested are in good
condition and correctly mounted.

DPF Regeneration menu let you perform the DPF cleaning to clear the

blockage through continuous burning of the particulates captured in the DPF
filter. When a DPF regeneration cycle is completed, the DPF light
automatically goes off.

6.5 Throttle Body Alignment (TPS/TBA)

It’s very common to see a customer pull into the shop with a Volkswagen or
Audi that just will not idle correctly. One of the possible causes is that the
throttle position is not known. When the motion range is not known, the ECU
simply has no idea where to set the throttle. The ECU must know the full
range of motion of the throttle in order for it to properly control the engine.
Using the throttle position sensors in the throttle body, the ECU learns the full
open and full closed positions through various states (idle, part throttle, WOT)
known as a Throttle Body Alignment (TBA).

6.6 Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration

SAS Calibration menu let you perform calibration of the Steering Angle

Sensor, which permanently stores the current steering wheel position as
straight-ahead in the sensor EEPROM. On successful calibration of the
sensor, its fault memory is automatically cleared.

6.7 Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT)

This function is used to reset the compensation code and initialize the ECT
after a solenoid valve or valve body assembly has been replaced.

6.8 Gear Learning

The crankshaft position sensor learns crankshaft tooth machining tolerance
and saves to the computer to more accurately diagnose engine misfires. If
tooth learning is not performed for a car equipped with Delphi engine, the MIL
turns on after the engine is started. The diagnostic device detects the DTC P
1336 'tooth not learned'. In this case, you must the diagnostic device to
perform tooth learning for the car. After tooth learning is successful, the MIL
turns off.
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.

6.9 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Programming
