CAUTION: Please use the included battery and charger. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
Precautions on Using S3001
Before using this tool, please read the following safety information carefully.
Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
If the VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) device remains unused for a long period of time, it is suggested to unplug the connector from vehicle’s DLC to conserve battery power.
Wear an ANSI-approved eye shield when testing or repairing vehicles.
The vehicle shall be tested in a well-ventilated work area, as engines produce various poisonous compounds (hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.)
Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while testing.
Keep the tool dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clear the outside of the equipment as necessary.
ii
LAUNCH |
S3001 User Manual |
Do not drive the vehicle and operate the tool at the same time. Any distraction may cause an accident.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.
Before starting the engine, put the gear lever in the Neutral position (for manual transmission) or in the Park (for automatic transmission) position to avoid injury.
To avoid damaging the tool or generating false data, please make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC (Data Link Connector) is clear and secure.
Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid that is harmful to skin. In operation, direct contact with the automotive batteries should be avoided. Keep the ignition sources away from the battery at all times.
Precautions on Operating Vehicle’s ECU
Do not disconnect battery or any wiring cables in the vehicle when the ignition switch is on, as this could avoid damage to the sensors or the ECU.
Do not place any magnetic objects near the ECU. Disconnect the power supply to the ECU before performing any welding operations on the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when performing any operations near the ECU or sensors. Ground yourself when you disassemble PROM, otherwise ECU and sensors can be damaged by static electricity.
When reconnecting the ECU harness connector, be sure it is attached firmly, otherwise electronic elements, such as ICs inside the ECU, can be damaged.

S3001 tablet supports 2 communication methods with the S3001 VCI device: Wi-Fi and data cable. You may choose any one of the methods to diagnose a vehicle.
*Notes:
To obtain stable communication, you are strongly recommended to perform the vehicle diagnosis via USB cable. In this case, the USB cable is required to connect the S3001 VCI device and the tablet.
When all communication methods are applied at the same time, the S3001 system will use the USB communication as the default priority.

4.4.1 Preparation
Normal testing conditions
Turn on the vehicle power supply.
Throttle should be in a closed position.
4.4.2 DLC location
The DLC (Data Link Connector) is typically a standard 16 pin connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.

4.4.3 Vehicle connection (For Passenger Vehicle Version)
The method used to connect the diagnostic connector to a vehicle’s DLC depends on the vehicle’s configuration as follows:
A vehicle equipped with an OBD II management system supplies both communication and 12V power through a standardized DLC.
A vehicle not equipped with an OBD II management system supplies communication through a DLC connection, and in some cases supplies 12V power through the cigarette lighter receptacle or a connection to the vehicle battery.
Follow the steps mentioned below to connect OBD II vehicle:
1.Locate vehicle’s DLC socket.
2.Plug the S3001 VCI device into the vehicle’s DLC socket (It is suggested to use the OBD II extension cable to connect the S3001 VCI device and DLC socket).
Fig. 4-12
3.Choose one of the two ways to obtain power from:
A.Power adaptor: Connect one end of the included power adaptor to DC IN port of S3001 tablet, and the other end to AC outlet. B.
Internal battery pack
For non-OBDII vehicle, proceed as follows:
1.Locate vehicle’s DLC socket.
2.Select the corresponding non-16pin connector.
3.Plug the non-16pin end of the connector into the DLC socket, and the other end to the OBD I adaptor, and then tighten the captive screws.
