Safety Precautions and Warnings

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:

1. Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
2. Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
3. Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.
4. Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are poisonous.

Connection and Settings

Location of the Data Link Connector(DLC)

The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is typically a 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 of the vehicle. If Data Link Connector is not located under the dashboard, a label should be there to tell it’s the location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is localed 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.

Setting

1. Tum the ignition off.
2. Locate the vehicle’s 16-pin Data Link Connector(DLC)
3. Plug the OBD 11 cable into the vehicle’s DLC.
4. Turn on the ignition and engine fully
5. After finishing, press ESC button enter Main Menu as following
   CAUTION: Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment with ignition on or engine running.

OBDII/EOBD Engine System Diagnostics

Vehicle Coverage

The scan tool is specially designed to work with all OBD II compliant vehicles, including control area network (CAN), ii is required by EPA that all 1996 and newer vehicles (Cars and light trucks) sold in the united states must be OBD II compliant and this includes all American, Asian and European vehicles.
A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles are OBD and compliant.
To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD II compliant , check the vehicle emissions control information(VECI) Label, which is located under the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD II compliant, the label will designate “OBD II Certified” 0 Additionally, Government regulations mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles must have a “common” sixteen-pin Data Link Connector (DLC)
For the vehicle to be OBD II compliant is must have a 16-pin DLC (Data Link Connector) under the dash and the vehicle emission control information label must state that the vehicle is OBD II compliant .

OBDII Diagnostic Menu

This option presents a quick way to check for DTC, isolate the cause of the illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL), check monitor status prior to emissions certification testing, verify repairs, and perform a number of other services that are emission-related.
Select [Diagnostics] and then press [OK], the system will enter the following screen:
When connected to the car ECU communication, the system will enter the following screen:

Function

It mainly includes the following functions:

1. Read Codes
   This option is used to identify which section of the emission control system has malfunctioned.

2. Erase Codes
   After reading the retrieved codes from the vehicle and certain repairs have been carried out, you can use this function to erase the codes from the vehicle. Before performing this function, please be sure the vehicle’s ignition key is in the ON position with the engine off.
   NOTES:

   • Before performing this function, make sure to retrieve and record the trouble codes.
   • After clearing, you should retrieve trouble codes once more or turn the ignition on and retrieve codes again. If there are still some trouble codes in the system, please troubleshoot the code using a factory diagnosis guide, then clear the code and recheck.

3. Live Data
   This option retrieves and displays live data and parameters from the vehicle’s ECU.

4. View Freeze Frame
   When an emission-related fault occurs, certain vehicle conditions are recorded by the on-board computer. This information is referred to as freeze frame data. Freeze Data is a snapshot of the operating conditions at the time of an emission-related fault.
   Note : If DTC were erased, Freeze Data may not be stored in vehicle memory depending on the vehicle.

5. 1/M Readiness
   1/M refers to Inspection and Maintenance that is legislated by the Government to meet federal clean-air standards. 1/M Readiness indicates whether or not the various emissions-related systems on the vehicle are operating properly and are ready for Inspection and Maintenance testing.
   The purpose of the 1/M Readiness Monitor Status is to indicate which one of the vehicle’s Monitors have run and completed their diagnosis and testing, and which ones have not yet run and completed testing and diagnosis of their designated sections of the vehicle’s emissions system.
   1/M Readiness Monitor Status function also can be used(after repair of a fault has been performed) to confirm that the repair has been performed correctly, and/or to check for Monitor Run Status.

6. 02 Monitor Test
   The results of the 02 sensor test are not live values but instead the results of the ECU’ s last 02 sensor test, for live 02 sensor readings.
   Not all test values are applicable to all vehicles. Therefore, the list generated will vary depending on vehicle. In addition, not all the vehicles support the Oxygen Sensors screen.

7. On-Board Monitor Test
   This function can be utilized to read the results of on-board diagnostic monitoring tests for specific components/systems.

8. Component Test
