⚫ Other specific criteria as required by the Diagnostic Tool

4.9.1 Auto Scan

4.9.1.1 Auto Identification

Click the "Auto Scan"> "Auto Identification" icon on the diagnostic screen, and the
Diagnostic Tool will automatically scan and decode the vehicle's VIN for
identification.

IMPORTANT:

There is a common misconception that the Diagnostic Tool cannot perform
diagnostics if it fails to detect or decode the VIN. If the Auto Scan option fails, it's
recommended to try other vehicle identification methods. Use Manual Selection as
a reliable alternative to manually enter the vehicle's region and manufacturer. This

19

ensures you can proceed with diagnostics even if automatic VIN detection is
unsuccessful.

NOTE:

Auto Identification functionality may not be compatible with all vehicles. If Auto
Identification fails, it is advisable to try alternative options.

4.9.1.2 Manual Input

When the automatic scan cannot identify the vehicle, it is recommended to
manually input the VIN to recognize the vehicle.

There are four reasons why it cannot be scanned automatically.

 The vehicle is too old to come with AUTO SCAN function on itself.
 The VIN is not written in the ECU of the vehicle, you will need to write the VIN in

the ECU first.

 The VIN is too rare or too new and it is not recorded in the VIN database.
 Vehicle of the same model might have different configurations and the

information provided in VIN is not enough to select the correct vehicle, so you
will need to manually select the configurations.

20

4.9.2 Diagnostic

Click "Diagnostic" icon on the screen, the Diagnostic Tool will bring up vehicle
selection menu.

NOTE:

In cases where vehicle VIN numbers cannot be decoded, if both Auto Identification
and Manual Input failed, it is recommended to try using Manual Selection instead.

4.9.2.1 Automatic Detection

Click "Diagnostic"> Select region where the vehicle brand is originated, for example
"Americas"> Select the vehicle brand, for example "CADILLAC"> Select "Automatic
Detection" to automatically detect and identify the vehicle the Diagnostic Tool is
connected to.

4.9.2.2 Manual Selection

When the "Auto Scan" and "Manual Input" fails to identify the vehicle, you can
always select "Manual Selection" to identify the vehicle and proceed to diagnostics.
Manual Selection is the most reliable vehicle identification option.
To identify a vehicle through "Manual Selection", click "Diagnostic"> Select the
vehicle brand, for example "CADILLAC"> Select region where the vehicle brand is
originated, for example "Americas"> Select "Manual Selection"> Select the model
year> Model Name and you may go through a few other selections before you see
"Automatic Scan" and "System Selection" on the screen.

4.9.2.2.1 Automatic Scan

It is to scan available vehicle modules for diagnostics.

4.9.2.2.2 System Selection

Once you have identified the potential issues with the vehicle, you can select an
individual vehicle module for diagnostics. This enables more targeted and efficient
troubleshooting.

21

4.10 Diagnostics

Once the vehicle is correctly identified, the Diagnostic Tool will be able to scan and
access the vehicle's electronic control systems to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs), PID data (Parameter IDs), freeze frame data, and ECU information.

4.10.1 Read Codes

When viewing the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) records retrieved from the vehicle's
electronic control module, selecting them may open a sub-menu with viewing
options.
During the diagnosis process, if the Diagnostic Tool displays ''System is OK'' or ''No
Trouble Code,'' it indicates that either there are no related fault codes stored in the
ECU or that faults are not monitored by that specific ECU. Many faults may be
related to mechanical system issues or circuit operation problems. It's also possible
that a sensor signal may be inaccurate but within acceptable limits, which can be
further examined using Live Data (PID).

4.10.2 Clear Codes

This function erases DTC records, including both current and historical data, as well
as other stored information from the vehicle's electronic control module (ECM).

22

When the erase command is sent through the diagnostic program, the vehicle's
electronic control module (ECM) will verify whether the issue has been resolved over
multiple drive cycles. Some faults are immediately detected by the ECU when the
ignition key is in the ''run'' position, even without the engine running. However,
other faults may require very specific test conditions to be met, such as engine
coolant temperature within a specific range, vehicle speed maintained for a certain
duration, throttle position within a defined range, etc.

4.10.3 DTC Erased While Fault Remains

If fault codes are erased while the underlying issue remains unresolved, the fault
codes will reappear after a few drive cycles.

4.10.4 DTC Erased and Fault Fixed- History Code

If the fault has been fixed but a trouble code remains stored, the ECU may
sometimes detect the resolution and either clear the fault code or reclassify it as a
historical code.

4.10.5 DTC Erased and Fault Fixed- History Cleared

If the fault has been fixed and you clear the fault codes, the fault history will also be
erased. If another technician is going to investigate the issue, it’s not recommended
to clear the fault codes, as this may erase valuable information that could assist in
diagnosing the problem.

NOTE:

Clearing codes typically erases the freeze frame data associated with those codes.

4.10.6 PID Data

Displays PID data for various sensors from the vehicle electronic control module. This
Diagnostic Tool allows viewing real-time PID data of various sensors in a list, view

23

individual PID data in graphing, analog dashboard, view custom PID data up to 4
sensors in a list, individual graphing and merged graphing.

4.10.6.1 View Waveform Chart

Click the circled area in the diagram to view the waveform chart for each data
stream.

24

4.10.6.2 Select Live Data

After selecting the data streams you want to view, click "Custom" to display only the
selected data streams, without interference from other data streams.

NOTE:

You can select up to four data streams at a time.

4.10.6.3 4-IN-1 Live Data

Select the data streams you want to view, click "Custom-Combine," and you will get
a combined 4-in-1 graphical data stream.

25

4.10.7 Freeze Frame

When a fault code is triggered, the vehicle's ECU saves related data from that
moment to generate a freeze frame. It is typically used to analyze the root cause of
the fault, along with fault codes and PID data. The freeze frame data displayed varies
across vehicles, and some vehicles may not support freeze frame functionality.

26

4.10.8 To Exit the Diagnostic Program

Exiting all diagnostic programs and returning to the main diagnostic screen will end
the diagnosis.

4.10.9 Exiting Diagnostics

Diagnostics remain active as long as there is an active communication link with the
vehicle. To exit tests and turn off the Diagnostic Tool, you must first interrupt this
communication link. A warning message will appear if you manage to shut down the
Diagnostic Tool while it is communicating with the vehicle.

NOTE:

Damage to the vehicle's electronic control module (ECU) may occur if
communication is disrupted. Always ensure the main cable is securely connected
during testing. Be sure to exit all tests before disconnecting the main cable or
turning off the Diagnostic Tool.

4.11 Diagnostic Report

After completing the diagnostics and returning to the main screen, enter the VIN,
mileage, and model year. Click "OK" on the report generation form to create a
diagnostic report for later review or sharing.

27

Go to "Diagnostic Report" in the More menu to view all generated diagnostic reports.
Click on the report you want to review based on its date and time, or share it via
email by clicking "Share by E-mail".

4.12 Diagnostic Speed

The Diagnostic Tool provides fast scanning and diagnostics for all vehicle modules.
However, the time it takes to scan and diagnose all modules varies across vehicles.
Factors that could influence diagnostic speed include the vehicle's communication
protocol and the number of control modules it has.
Generally speaking, the Diagnostic Tool scans all modules faster on vehicles using the
latest communication protocols than on older ones. For example, scanning a vehicle
that uses the CAN protocol takes less time than one using the older ISO9141
protocol. Additionally, it takes longer to scan a modern vehicle with many modules
than a less sophisticated vehicle with only a few modules.

4.13 Integrated Module

In some cases, particularly with older vehicle models, manufacturers may integrate
two or more electronic control systems into a single vehicle module. This integration
can lead to confusion or complexity during the diagnostic and repair process.

Listed below are two most common examples:
Powertrain Control Module(PCM)- Integrates Engine and Transmission systems.
Brake Control Module(BCM)- Integrates ABS and EPB systems.

The information above indicates that if you cannot find "Transmission" or a similar
option in the diagnostic menu, you should look for "Transmission Oil Temperature"
under the PID (live data) menu in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Similarly, if
you are searching for the ABS Bleeding feature, go to the Special Function under the
Brake Control Module (BCM). This approach helps you locate specific diagnostic
features within the Diagnostic Tool.

28

5.OBD-II

This chapter describes the concept, protocols, test functions, and basic operation of
the OBD-II/EOBD function.

This option provides a quick way to check DTCs, identify the cause of an illuminated
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), check monitor status prior to emissions
certification testing, verify repairs, and perform other emissions-related services.

The OBD-II function allows you to access "generic" OBD-II data.
Generic OBD-II data is data limited to emission related diagnostics such as:

• Checking for emissions-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

• Checking the cause of an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)

• Checking monitor status prior to emissions certification testing

To access other available electronic control module (ECU) data for vehicle-specific
systems, parameters, or enhanced diagnostics, use ''Auto Scan'' or ''Diagnostic'' to
access all systems or individual system diagnostics. The OBD-II function is used to
access ''generic'' OBD-II/EOBD data for OBD-II/EOBD compliant vehicles that are not
included in the all systems or individual systems diagnostics.

29

IMPORTANT:

Generic OBD-II data are not included in the engine system diagnostic data.

5.1 OBD-II Protocols

Global OBD uses 5 communication protocols:

• SAE J1850PWM

• SAEJ1850VPW

• ISO 9141-2

• ISO 14230-4

• ISO 15765-4

5.2 Help

Describes DLC location position, DTC library, Abbreviations and OBD background
information like OBD-II modes and etc.

30

5.3 10 Modes of OBD-II

Mode $01 – Live Data
Mode $02 – Read Freeze Frame
Mode $03 – Read Trouble Code
Mode $04 – Clear Trouble Code
Mode $05 – O2S Monitoring Test
Mode $06 – On-Board Monitor Test
Mode $07 – Read Trouble Code
Mode $08 – Component Test
Mode $09 – Read ECU Information
Mode $0A – Read Trouble Code

5.4 Connecting the Main Cable

The main cable must be connected to both the Diagnostic Tool and the vehicle's
OBD-II port for OBD-II testing. For details, refer to ''Vehicle Connection'' on page 16.

5.5 OBD-II/EOBD Menu

5.5.1 Read Trouble Code

The "Read Trouble Code" option displays a list of current emission-related DTCs,
including Stored Codes (Generic and Manufacturer-Specific Codes), Pending Codes,
and Permanent Codes.

31

OBD-II codes are prioritized based on their emission severity, with higher priority
codes taking precedence. This prioritization affects whether the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminates and how the code erase procedure is managed.
Different vehicle manufacturers implement these priorities in various ways, leading
to differences in how codes are ranked and addressed across different makes and
models.

5.5.1.1 Stored Codes

Stored codes refer to current emission-related DTCs from the vehicle's ECM. OBD-II
codes are prioritized based on their emission severity, with higher priority codes
overriding lower priority ones. The priority of the code determines whether the MIL
is illuminated and how the code erase procedure is handled. Vehicle manufacturers
implement this ranking differently, leading to variations between makes.

5.5.1.2 Pending Codes

The purpose of this function is to enable the Diagnostic Tool to obtain "pending" or
maturing diagnostic trouble codes. These are codes whose setting conditions were
met during the last drive cycle, but need to be met on two or more consecutive drive
cycles before the DTC actually sets.

32

Use this function following a vehicle repair and code clearing procedure to verify test
results after a single drive cycle.

● If a test failed during the drive cycle, the DTC associated with that test is reported.

If the pending fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault
is automatically cleared from memory.

● Test results reported by this function do not necessarily indicate a faulty

component or system. If test results indicate another failure after additional
driving, then a DTC is set to indicate a faulty component or system, and the MIL is
illuminated.

5.5.1.3 Permanent Codes

This option displays a record of any "Permanent" codes. A permanent status DTC is
one that was severe enough to illuminate the MIL at some point, but the MIL may
not be on at the present time.
Whether the MIL was switched off by clearing codes or because the setting
conditions did not repeat after a specified number of drive cycles, a record of the
DTC is retained by the ECM. Permanent status codes automatically clear after repairs
have been made and the related system monitor runs successfully.

5.5.1.4 Generic & Manufacturer-Specific Codes

Code Definitions:

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) -- Trouble codes are how OBD-II identifies and
communicates to technicians where and what on-board problems exist. The first
number in the DTC indicates whether the code is an SAE generic code (applies to all
OBD-II systems) or is specific to the vehicle manufacturer. The remaining three
numbers provide information regarding the specific vehicle system and circuit. An
analysis of a typical OBD-II code is shown below.

Generic Codes -- DTC with the second character as "0" is a Generic Code.
Manufacturer-Specific Code -- DTC with second character as "1" is a

Manufacturer-Specific Code.

33

5.5.1.5 Definition of Fault Code

5.5.1.5.1 First DTC Character

The first DTC character is always a letter. There are four types of codes:

● P codes, "P" indicates a problem with the powertrain. It includes the engine,

transmission, drivetrain, and fuel system.

● C codes, "C" indicates a problem with the chassis. It refers to mechanical systems

outside the passenger compartment, such as steering, suspension, and braking.

● B codes, "B" indicates a problem with the body. It covers parts that are found in

the passenger compartment area.

● U codes, "U" indicates a problem with the vehicle's onboard computers and

integration functions that the OBD manages.

5.5.1.5.2 Second DTC Character

The second DTC character is a numeric digit, either a "0" or a "1":

0, A "0" indicates a standard SAE international code. It's also known as a generic
code, meaning that it applies to all vehicles following the OBD-II international
standard.

34

1, A "1" represents a code that is specific to the car's make or model. It's known as

an enhanced code, meaning it doesn't fall under an SAE standard. If you see a "1,"
reach out to the vehicle manufacturer directly for more information.

5.5.1.5.3 Third DTC Character

If the second DTC character is a "0," then the third character helps you determine
which subsystems are malfunctioning. There are nine numbers:

0, Fuel and air metering and auxiliary emission controls

1, Fuel and air metering injection system

2, Fuel and air metering (injection system)

3, Ignition systems or misfires

4, Auxiliary emission controls

5, Vehicle speed control, idle control systems, and auxiliary inputs

6, Computer output circuit

7-8, Transmission

5.5.1.5.4 Fourth and Fifth DTC Character

The fourth and fifth DTC codes are two-digit numbers from 0 to 99, known as the
"Specific Fault Index." It identifies the exact malfunction that a vehicle has.

5.5.3 Clear Trouble Code(Mode $04)

This option is designed to erase all emission-related diagnostic data stored in the
memory of the selected ECM. This includes Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), freeze
frame data, and test results. While OBD-II/EOBD displays generic data only, clearing
codes removes all stored information, including any enhanced codes and freeze
frame details.
When you select the clear codes function, a confirmation screen appears to prevent
accidental data loss. You must choose "Yes" on the confirmation screen to proceed
with the operation.

35

5.5.4 Live Data(Mode $01)

Use this function to view current emission-related data from the selected electronic
control module (ECM) of the vehicle. The main screen layout consists of two primary
columns: the left-hand column provides descriptions of each parameter, while the
right-hand column displays the corresponding parameter values along with their
units or states.

5.5.4.1 View Waveform Chart

Click the circled area in the diagram to view the waveform chart for each data
stream.

36

5.5.4.2 Select Live Data

After selecting the data streams you want to view, click "Show Selected" to display
only the selected data streams, without interference from other data streams.

NOTE:

You can select up to four data streams at a time.

5.5.4.3 4-IN-1 Live Data

Select the data streams you want to view, click "Curve Combinatior," and you will get
a combined four-in-one graphical data stream.

37

5.5.5 Read Freeze Frame(Mode $02)

Freeze frame data provides a snapshot of critical parameter values at the moment a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set. This function allows you to display freeze frame
data for any stored emission-related DTC. Typically, the stored freeze frame data
corresponds to the last DTC that occurred.

However, for certain DTCs that have a significant impact on vehicle emissions,
priority is given. In these cases, the highest priority DTC is the one for which the
freeze frame records are retained, ensuring critical diagnostic information is
preserved.

5.5.6 I/M Readiness(Smog Check)

This function is used to check the readiness of the monitoring system. It is an
excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to a state
emissions program. Selecting I/M Readiness opens a sub-menu with two choices:

5.5.6.1 Since DTCs Cleared

Displays the status of monitors since the last time the DTCs are cleared.

38

5.5.6.2 This Driving Cycle

Displays the status of monitors since the beginning of the current driving cycle.

5.5.7 O2S Monitoring Test(Mode $05)

This option opens a menu of tests designed to check the integrity of the oxygen
sensors (O2S). Selecting a test displays all pertinent O2S parameters specific to that
test. The test ID is prominently displayed at the top of the data list.

39

5.5.8 On-Board Monitor Test (Mode $06)

This function allows you to view the results of On-Board Monitor tests. The tests are
useful after servicing or after erasing a vehicle’s control module memory.

The data provided pertains to specific systems and components that the onboard
diagnostic system continuously monitors, such as misfire counters, as well as those it
monitors intermittently. Selecting a specific system or component displays its
corresponding test results.

40

5.5.9 Component Test(Mode $08)

This function enables bidirectional control (to limited extend) of the ECM. The
purpose of this function is to allow the Diagnostic Tool to control the operation of an
onboard system, test, or component, such as EVAP leakage test or other test. This
function is useful in determining whether the ECM responds to a command well.

5.5.10 Read ECU Information

This function displays the names of some ECUs (Electronic Control Units) and the
protocols supported by the device. It also provides calibration information for the
device.

IMPORTANT:

Not all vehicles support all service modes, so the available menu selections will vary
accordingly.

6. Special Functions

This chapter details various scheduled service and maintenance functions, also
referred to as "Special Functions." A typical special function screen presents a series
of menu-driven executive commands. By following on-screen instructions to select

41

appropriate execution options, enter correct values or data, and perform necessary
actions, the screen prompts will guide you through the complete process for various
special functions.

6.1 Maintenance Light Reset

The Diagnostic Tool can be used to reset the engine oil life system, which calculates
the optimum oil life change interval based on the vehicle's driving conditions and
climate. The oil life reminder must be reset each time the oil is changed so that the
system can calculate when the next oil change is due.

This function can be performed in the following cases:

● If the service lamp is on, you must provide service for the car. After service, you

need to reset the driving mileage or driving time so that the service lamp turns off
and the system enables the new service cycle.

● After changing engine oil or electric appliances that monitor oil life, you need to

reset the service lamp.

The operation guidelines of the Oil Reset function are shown as below:

Step 1: Enter the Oil Reset menu and select vehicle model according to the vehicle
being tested.

42

Step 2: Select the appropriate identification method.

Step 3: Enter automatic setting menu.

43

Step 4: Confirm the [New value] you just entered, and then click "OK" at the bottom
right to complete the procedure.

Step 5: Message of "Write successfully" displays when Oil Reset function has been
successfully performed.

44

6.2 EPB

1. If the brake pad wears the brake pad sense line, the brake pad sense line will send

a signal to the onboard computer asking for replacing the brake pad. After replacing
the brake pad, you must reset the brake pad to clear the trouble code.

Otherwise, vehicle will continue to falsely notify the driver that the brake pads are in
need of replacement.

2. A reset must be performed in the following cases:

● The brake pad and brake pad wear sensor are replaced.

●

The brake pad indicator lamp is on.

● The brake pad sensor circuit is shorted.

●

The servo motor is replaced.

The operation guidelines of the EPB function are shown as below:

Step 1: Enter the EPB menu and choose relevant models according to the vehicle

being tested.

45

Step 2: Ensure your vehicle type.

Step 3: Enter the maintenance mode menu and release the handbrake.

46

Step 4: Wait until the message of "Successful operation" pops up. And press "OK" to
exit the menu.

6.3 SAS

Steering Angle Sensors (SAS) System Calibration permanently stores the current
steering wheel position as the straight-ahead position in the SAS EEPROM. Therefore,
the front wheels and the steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead
position before calibration. In addition, the VIN is also read from the instrument
cluster and stored permanently in the SAS EEPROM. On successful completion of
calibration, the SAS fault codes will be automatically cleared.

To reset the steering angle, you need to first find the relative zero point position for
the vehicle to drive in a straight line. Taking this position as a reference, the ECU can
calculate the accurate angle for left and right steering.

After replacing the steering angle position sensor, replacing steering mechanical
parts (such as steering gearbox, steering column, end tie rod, steering knuckle),
performing four-wheel alignment, or repairing the car body, you must reset the
steering angle.

The operation guidelines of the SAS function are shown as below:

47

Step 1: Enter the SAS menu and choose the vehicle model according to the vehicle

SAS

being tested.

Step 2: Ensure you vehicle type.

Step 3: Follow the instructions displayed and press "OK" after completing the

instructions shown.

48

Message of "Function execution is completed" displayed when SAS reset function
has been successfully completed.

6.4 BMS Reset

The Battery Management System (BMS) allows the Diagnostic Tool to evaluate the
battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery
replacement and activate the rest state of the vehicle.
This function enables you to perform a resetting operation on the monitoring unit of
the vehicle battery, in which the original low battery fault information will be cleared
and battery matching will be performed.
Battery matching must be performed in the following cases:

● The main battery is replaced. Battery matching must be performed to clear original

low battery information and prevent the related control module from detecting
false information. If the related control module detects false information, it will
invalidate some electric auxiliary functions, such as automatic start & stop
function, sunroof without one-key trigger function or power window without
automatic function.

49

● Battery matching is performed to re-match the control module and motoring

sensor to detect battery power usage more accurately, which can avoid an error
message displayed on the instrument cluster.

The operation guidelines of the BMS Reset function are shown as below:
Step 1: Enter the BMS Reset menu and choose relevant models according to the

vehicle being tested.

Step 2: Enter the battery adjustment menu.

Step 3: Click the "Battery Matching" icon.

50

6.5 Injector Coding

This function can write the identification code of the fuel injector into the ECU so
that the ECU can recognize the new injector.

After the ECU or injector is replaced, the injector code of each cylinder must be
confirmed or re-coded so that the cylinder can better identify injectors to accurately
control fuel injection.

In general cases, there is no need to perform the coding matching function after
cleaning;

The identification of the fuel injector includes its working accuracy value and type
value. When replacing an injector you need to find the corresponding model for
replacement; At present, mainstream cars support injector coding functions.

The operation guidelines of the Injector Coding function are shown as below:

Step 1: Enter the Injector coding menu and choose relevant chassis models

according to the vehicle being tested.

51

Step 2: Click "injector matching" icon.

Step 3: Select the option that matches your vehicle.

52

Wait until the message "Write successfully" pops up means that you have done.

6.6 DPF/GPF

The Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) function manages DPF regeneration, DPF component
replacement teach-in, and DPF teach-in after replacing the ECM.

The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration.
Vehicles driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier
than vehicles driven more with higher load and speed. For regeneration to take
place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be obtained.

In the event of the car being driven in such ways that regeneration is not possible,
i.e., frequent short journeys, a diagnostic trouble code will eventually be registered
in addition to the DPF light and "Check Engine" indicators displaying. A service
regeneration can be requested in the workshop using the Diagnostic Tool.

DPF regeneration is used to clear PM (Particulate Matter) from the DPF filter through
continuous combustion oxidation mode (such as high-temperature heating
combustion, fuel additive or catalyst reduce PM ignition combustion) to stabilize the
filter performance.

53

DPF regeneration may be performed in the following cases:

●

The exhaust back pressure sensor is replaced.

● The PM trap is removed or replaced.

●

The fuel additive nozzle is removed or replaced.

● The catalytic oxidizer is removed or replaced.

● The DPF regeneration MIL is on and maintenance is performed.

●

The DPF regeneration control module is replaced.

The operation guidelines of the DPF function are shown as below:
Step 1: Enter the DPF menu and choose relevant models according to the vehicle

being tested.

Step 2: Choose the function you are going to perform.

54

Follow the instructions on the device screen until you see a confirmation of
''successful operation.''

6.7 Language Change

This function is to change the system language of the instrument cluster or control
console.

6.8 ABS Bleeding

Anti-Lock Braking System keeps the tires from locking up immediately when there
are brakes. Keeping ABS in good condition can give full play to the effectiveness of
the brakes, shorten the braking time and distance, prevent the vehicle from skidding
and tailing during emergency braking, ensure good driving stability and steering
maneuverability, and avoid violent friction between the tires and the ground to
reduce tire wear. When the ABS contains air, the ABS bleeding function must be
performed to bleed the brake system to restore ABS brake sensitivity. ABS Bleeding
can be performed in the following cases:

● Replace the rear brake distributor pump or the front brake distributor pump

● Severe brake fluid shortage

55

● Change the brake fluid

The operation guidelines of the ABS Bleeding function are shown as below:

Step 1: Enter the ABS Bleeding menu and choose relevant models according to the
vehicle being tested.

Step 2: Follow the prompt steps and complete the function.

Caution

●

The ABS pump screw needs to be unscrewed.

● Brake fluid will be under pressure during this process. Secure the bleed hose and

open bleeder screws slowly.

● Some vehicles do not support automatic bleeding, but manually bleeding.

6.9 Throttle Matching

Also called Throttle Reset or Throttle Match. This function enables you to reset the
throttle actuators and the learned values stored on ECU to the default state. Doing

56

so can accurately control the actions of regulating throttle (or idle engine) to adjust
the amount of air intake.

6.10 A/C Relearn

AC system relearn must be performed when the vehicle AC ECU or actuator is
replaced or the ECU memory is lost.

6.11 Gearbox Matching

This function can complete the self-learning of the gearbox and improve the shift
quality, when the gearbox is disassembled or repaired which may cause shifting
delay or impact.

6.12 Clutch Adaption

This function is to reset the clutch after the replacement of clutch or gear shifting
motor.

6.13 A/F Reset

This function is to reset or relearn the air/fuel ratio parameters.

6.14 NOx Reset

Oxygen sensors and three-way catalysts operate through chemical reactions, and
their performance degrades over time, leading to increased tailpipe emissions.
When these components are replaced, it's crucial to reset the system to ensure they
function properly and maintain emissions within acceptable limits.

57

6.15 Headlight Adjustment

Also called Headlight Matching or AFS Reset. This function can initialize the adaptive
headlight system. The headlight system can decide whether to automatically turn on
the headlights based on the ambient light intensity, monitor the vehicle's driving
speed, body posture, etc., and adjust the headlight lighting angle.

6.16 Seat Calibration

Or called Seat Configurations. This function is applied to match or configure the
seats with memory function that are replaced and repaired.

6.17 Disable Transport Mode

During shipment from the factory, a vehicle is put in a partially activate state called
Transport Mode to reduce the drain on the battery. And when it arrives at the
dealership, this function is applied to deactivate or disable the Transport Mode.

6.18 Stop/Start Reset

This function is used to open or close the automatic Start/Stop function via setting
the hidden function in ECU (The precondition is vehicle equipped with hidden
function and hardware is in place).

6.19 Windows Initialization

When the vehicle battery is disconnected, the windows may not work right. This
function is used to perform door window matching to recover the ECU initial
memory, and recover the automatic ascending and descending function of power
window.

58

6.20 Rain/Light Sensor

This function is to reset the rain/light sensor after the replacement of the rain/light
sensor or the front windshield.

6.21 EGR Relearn

Also called EGR Adaption. This function is used to learn the EGR (Exhaust Gas
Re-Circulation) valve after it is cleaned or replaced.

6.22 Suspension System

This function can adjust the vehicle body height sensor for level calibration after
replacing the vehicle height sensor or control module in the air suspension system,
or when the vehicle level is not correct.

6.23 SRS

This function is to reset the acceleration sensor when it's replaced or it's providing
wrong data which is used for SRS system, anti-theft system or navigation system.

A: Please make sure you have updated the App to the latest version(To update the
App to the latest, go to More> Setting> About> Version> APP Version to check the
latest App version and update to the latest.). If yes, please reset to factory settings
and check again. If it still does not work, please reach us directly via
[email protected].

Q7: I cannot update, I've tried Wi-Fi and cell phone as hotpot, however, keep

telling me failure connection.

A: This problem could reside with the setting of your router firewall or the network
provider in your region that restricts access to the server, please check if your router
firewall can access the server or not. If the problem still exists, please reach us via
[email protected].

Q8. Why should I connect the scanner to internet once a month?

A: It's a government policy compliant requirement to connect the device to Wi-Fi
once a month to report IP location to prevent the device being used for illegal
activities. If connecting it to Wi-Fi did not solve the issue, please reach us directly via
[email protected] ASAP.

Q9: The auto scan/VIN cannot work on my vehicle.

A: As for auto scan/VIN, it does not cover all vehicles as some vehicles did not store
VIN in the ECU, some VIN is not included in our coverage database, and some
vehicles like Dodge work in "sending command, answering command" mode for
vehicle communication.

You can try below alternative navigation methods:

● Turn on the ignition and not start the engine to try auto scan. For older vehicles,

please turn on the ignition and start the engine and try auto scan.

● Manual input VIN.

● Diagnosis> America/Europe/Asia> Vehicle Selection> Automatic Detection.

74

● Diagnosis> America/Europe/Asia> Vehicle Selection> Manually Selection.

Q10: My diagnostic tool cannot connect to Wi-Fi.

A: If it shows "times out", please check your router and make sure that your router
selected WPA2, not WPA3(maximum compatibility), and that it has not blocked the
outgoing network traffic to non-US regions like China. Switching to mobile phone
hotspot will most likely solve the registration issue. You can switch back to home
Wi-Fi for software downloads when activation is done.

The second method is to connect to the Wi-Fi extender. If you have the Wi-Fi main
modem and the extender. You can try to disconnect the diagnostic tool from the
main Wi-Fi and connect it to the internet via the extender.

If it has connected to the internet but shows "connect internet to sync your device",
the problem is that the country and time zone (china time zone) in the Android
system didn't match what the network time zone was (pacific time zone) and is
preventing it from syncing. Please just correct the time zone to pacific time zone by
entering more menu> settings> Date & Time> select time zone.

Q11: When activating the device, shows error message "registration failure" after

entering your email address.

A: Try mobile hotspot (recommended) or a different network to activate.

Q12: Received a used device with a lock screen password, unable to open the

device.

A: Contact our support team with the device's S/N via [email protected] to
resolve the issue.

Q13: Shall I connect my device to the Internet/ Wi-Fi all the time?
A: No it doesn't need an Internet connection all the time. You just need to register it

and download the updates with internet connection. For some special vehicles like

75

Peugeot, scan tools need to be connected to the Internet, because it is required by
the manufacturer. It will require internet connection when you are doing some
advanced features like ECU Programming.

Q14: Does your tools can support all the functions on all vehicles?

A: All our tools are comprehensive diagnostic tools that can work on many vehicle
brands, but it cannot do all the functions on all vehicles, just like any other scan tools
in the market, even the factory scanner can only do functions on their own brand.
Because not all vehicles come with the same functions when manufactured and
even the vehicles of the same model might have various configurations.
