ULTRASCAN plus Functions
The functions you can choose when all the test vehicle details are selected properly are explained in this chapter of the manual. The actual list of available functions may be different according to the vehicle you want to test.
I. Diagnostic T rouble Code---------------------
A. DTC Read
1. Pulse signal type
a. Many of old Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Hyundai and Kia cars until early 90’s
support slow pulse signal output for the DTC reading function. As shown below, ULTRASCAN plus shows the pulse signal being received through the DLC adapter in the top and the received DTC numbers.
b. Manual input
- Even older cars such as Honda with 2-pin adapter have no signal output terminal for DTC in the DLC adapter. In this case,
Chapter 4 - 1
USER MANUAL For ULTRASCAN plus Scanners
ULTRASCAN plus shows the following message as there is no signal input through the adapter.
- You have to count the MIL flashing on the dashboard and manually input the DTC number to ULTRASCAN plus to view the details as below:
- Long flash signals count for tens and short signals for ones. Input two digits for tens and ones in sequence using the numeric keypad. A flash signal for a code is followed by another if there are multiple trouble codes. Blinking signals for all trouble codes flash in sequence, and repeat after a pause.
Chapter 4 - 2
Hanatech Co., Ltd.
c. Others
- Generally ULTRASCAN plus reads DTC pulse signal from the diagnostic adapter and shows the DTC number, title and details automatically.
Chapter 4
2. Serial Communication type
a. Most of the cars built in 1990’s or later support serial communication with
a scanner, and the DTC is read by bi-directional communication.
b. ULTRASCAN plus sends a command to the control module to reply with
the DTC numbers stored in memory, and the control module replies thereupon.
Chapter 4 - 3
USER MANUAL For ULTRASCAN plus Scanners
B. DTC Erase (Clear fault code)
1. Pulse signal type
a. Pulse signal type does not support bi-directional serial communication,
therefore, a scanner is unable to send a command to the control module to erase the DTC information from memory. These old cars require you to remove battery terminal to clean up diagnostic information from control module memory.
Removing the battery terminal will get rid of all information contained in the car stereo and other electronic devices. And it may not effectively erase the fault codes in some cars. Refer to the original repair manual for further information. Check if DTC information is properly removed by reading the trouble code again after erasing the code.
2. Serial communication type
a. ULTRASCAN plus sends a command to the control module to erase DTC
information stored in memory, and the control module replies thereupon.
b. Check if DTC information is properly removed by reading the trouble
code again after erasing the code
Chapter 4 - 4
C. DTC Help tips
a. Help tips are provided when you press the [HELP] key after locating the
highlighted bar on one of the detected trouble code(s). This function is available when ULTRASCAN plus detects one or more trouble code(s)
b. Help tips including trouble code definition, conditions and check points
are provided for all Korean cars and Malaysian cars as of May 2003. Wiring diagrams are also provided for Korean cars of 2000 model-year or older.

c. Press the [ESC] key to return to DTC list.
Chapter 4 - 5
USER MANUAL For ULTRASCAN plus Scanners
II. Current Data -----------------------------------
(= Data Stream, Live Data, Service Data)
A. Pulse Signal Type
a. Data stream is not generally supported for this type of old cars because the
speed of pulse signal communication is too slow to read the data stream variables.
b. Some of old Toyota cars using 17-pin rectangular adapter exceptionally
support data readings as the system supports relatively high speed pulse signal communication.
B. Serial Communication Type
a. Most of control systems with serial communication support data stream
function. Select [Current data] from the menu, then the data readings follow.
b. Some systems like SRS or ABS may be designed not to support data stream
intentionally by the car make while the other systems are supported. A scanner is a passive tool that reads information from the control system, and it is unable to actively generate information that the system does not provide.
Chapter 4 - 6
C. Data Freeze
The [Data Freeze] function places the selected data stream variable on top of the LCD screen so that the user can check and compare desired sensor values continually without having to scroll up and down. This function is different from ‘Freeze Frame Data’ function of Generic OBD2.
1) Step One
Select a desired sensor using the [◀][▶] and the [▲][▼] keys.
2) Step Two
Press the [ENTER] key to freeze the selected sensor.

III. Actuation Test ---------------------------------
- The actuation test is a very helpful function that temporarily activates
or stops a certain actuator such as an injector, a motor or a solenoid by force, so that the user can evaluate the system's condition or the part’s normal operation by observing its reaction
- Signals from various sensors are input to a control unit, and the actions are taken by controlling to actuators. Sensors and actuators are causes and effects in a control system.
- While the data stream function is useful to observe if the sensors are working properly and the control unit is collecting correct data from the sensors without problem, the actuator test is helpful to examine if the actuators are working in normal conditions and the control unit is commanding proper control over the system.
- Some of the cars such as Nissan or Toyota provide even more advanced actuation tests by letting the user observe the reaction of overall control system when manually adjusting the sensor input values.
Chapter 4 - 11
