SAFETY
WARNING! To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool, read this instruction manual fi rst and observe the following safety precautions.
- Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
- Wear safety eye protection.
- Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.
- Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area. Exhaust gases are poisonous.
- Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while running tests.
- Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
- Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
- Keep a fi re extinguisher suitable for petrol/chemical/electrical fi res nearby.
- DO NOT connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running.

USING THE SCAN TOOL
- LOCATION OF THE DLC
- The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools
- interface with the vehicle’s onboard computer. The DLC is usually located 300mm 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 the dashboard, a label should be there telling the 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.

TOOL SETTINGS
SETUP
Language:
- Selects desired language.
- English is the factory default setting.
- From language screen select language required.
- Unit of measure: Selects desired measurement unit. Metric is the factory default setting.
- From the measurement screen select the measurement unit required (metric or imperial).

DIAGNOSTIC
DUAL-SYSTEM SELECTION
- Start the car’s engine and plug the OBD II connector into the vehicle’s Date Link Connector (DLC).
- Enter the reader’s main interface, and click the ENTER key to start scanning the vehicle (DLC) system.
- By default the reader will select the single engine system.
- The dual system selection menu will display when detected.
- Select the system to be diagnosed.
- $ 7E8: Engine ……………………………………..Engine system
- $ 7E9: A/T ………………………………….Transmission system
-
DIAGNOSTIC MENU
-
Read codes:
View the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for the engine or transmission system and display their standard definitions. -
Erase codes:
-
Clears all the DTC’s in the system.
-
WARNING! Take due consideration before actioning this command.
-
Data Stream:
-
This function allows viewing of live or real time data from all the supported sensors (up to 249 types of sensors).

DTC LOOKUP
- The reader has 16929 pre-set DTC identifi cation codes in it’s database. To view the DTC, input the code and press enter. The fault code definition will then be displayed providing additional information on where the DTC originated and the operating conditions that caused it to set.
CRANKING SYSTEM TEST
On the reader’s menu screen select “Cranking Test” and press ENTER to start
the test.
Start the engine when prompted. The reader will then automatically complete
the cranking test and display the test result.
When the reader detects the RPM this will then be indicated on the reader’s
screen.
NOTE: The cranking voltage display value should be at least 9.6V. On
completion of the cranking test the reader will display the cranking voltage
obtained and duration. The cranking test reader display results allows the
technician to quickly determine the overall condition of the cranking system.
CHARGING SYSTEM TEST
-
On the reader’s menu screen select “Charging Test” and press ENTER to start the test.
-
Follow each step shown on the readers screen instructions.
NOTE: DO NOT turn off the engine during the charging system test. -

-
NOTE: If the reader displays a “NO OUTPUT” message, the battery has become fully discharged.
-
Check if the alternator is functioning correctly or contact a service centre immediately.
