DIAGNOSTICS FUNCTIONS
D9 Smart Diagnostics System supports the Diagnostics functions shown below

• Read ECU Information
• Read/Clear Trouble Code
• Read Live Data
• Actuation Test (Bi-Directional Control)
• Freeze Frame
• Special functions

Figure 4-7 Sample of Diagnostics Function

Read ECU Information
This function is to read ECU version information, which is the equivalent of “System Identification” or “System information” in some electronic control systems, which means to read ECU-related software and hardware versions, models, and production date of diesel engine, part number, etc.

Figure 4-8 Sample of ECU Information

Read Trouble Code
Read trouble codes that are stored in ECU. For the fault code, the diagnostic instrument will give specific detailed definitions and explanations to help you locate and eliminate the car fault.

Figure 4-9 Sample of Reading DTC

In the process of Diagnostics, if the device shows “System is OK” or “No Trouble Code”, it means there is no related trouble code stored in ECU or some troubles are not under the control of ECU, most of these troubles are mechanical system troubles or executive circuit troubles, it is also possible that signal of the sensor may bias within limits, which can be judged in Live Data.

Clear Trouble Code
It allows clearing current and historical trouble codes memory in ECU, under the premise that all the troubles are eliminated. There are two types of fault codes, one is a permanent fault code and the other is a non-permanent fault code. The former requires manual troubleshooting of the car before it can be cleared with a diagnostic tool. Non-permanent fault codes can be cleared directly with the diagnostic tool.

Figure 4-10 Sample of Clear DTC

The trouble codes can’t be erased without eliminating all the troubles, which will cause the diagnostic tool to always read the trouble code because the code will always be saved in ECU.

Read Live Data

• That is to read the parameters of the running engine, such as oil pressure, temperature, engine speed, fuel oil temperature, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, etc. Based on these parameters, we can judge directly where the problem lies, which helps to narrow the scope of maintenance. For some vehicles, during their actual operation, the problems such as performance characteristics offset, sensitivity reduction, can be judged in live data.
• In the process of Diagnostics, if the device shows “System is OK” or “No Trouble Code”, it means there is no related trouble code stored in ECU or some troubles are not under the control of ECU, most of these troubles are mechanical system troubles or executive circuit troubles, it is also possible that signal of the sensor may bias within limits, which can be judged in Live Data.

Actuation Test

• The actuation test, also known as bidirectional control, is a generic term used to describe sending and receiving information between one device and another.
• The vehicle engineers responsible for designing computer control systems programmed them so a scan tool could request information or command a module to perform specific tests and functions. Some manufacturers refer to bidirectional controls as functional tests, actuator tests, inspection tests, system tests, or the like. Reinitialization and reprogramming also can be included in the list of bidirectional controls.

Figure 4-16 Sample of the Actuation Test Menu

This function allows the device to send information to and receive information from, vehicle control modules. For example, in the case of OBD II generic information Mode 1 (which relates to data parameters), the scan tool user initiates a request for information from the powertrain control module (PCM), and the PCM responds by sending the information back to the scan tool for display. Most enhanced scan tools also can actuate relays, injectors, and coils, perform system tests, etc. Users could check the individual part to see what is working properly by actuation test.

Figure 4-17 Sample of the Actuation Test

Freeze Frame

• When the signal of the sensor is abnormal, the ECU will save the data at that moment of failure to form a freeze-frame. It is usually used to analyze the reasons that may lead to car failures.
• The living data items supported by vehicles of different brands are not the same, so the freeze frames displayed when diagnosing vehicles of different brands may also be different. Some vehicles may not have the option of a freeze-frame which means that the model does not support this function.
• Take Renault Duster ii ph as an example, after selecting the system to enter the lower freeze frame menu, the device will list all the fault codes under the system.
• Users can click on a fault code, such as DF1068 to view the freeze frame recorded by the car when the fault code occurs, including context when the fault appeared, and current context and additional data.

Figure 4-18 Sample of the Freeze frame for Renault Duster ii ph (Screen 1)

Figure 4-19 Sample of the Freeze frame for Renault Duster ii ph (Screen 2)

• Context when fault appeared : record the live data when fault appeared to help the user to know the vehicle status. *Some vehicles don’t support this function; users will get a prompt when they click the menu.
• Current context: Displays the current live data stream associated with the DTC

Figure 4-19 Sample of the Freeze frame for Renault Duster ii ph (Screen 3)

• Additional data: record other data related to the fault

Figure 4-20 Sample of the Freeze frame for Renault Duster ii ph (Screen 4)

Special functions

Figure 4-21 Sample of the Special Functions for the Injection system of Renault Duster ii ph

Usually, special functions provide various reset or re-learning function menus for most vehicle systems. You can easily and quickly solve some faults through special functions for your car. After some functions are successfully executed, fault codes will be generated, which need to be cleared manually after the car is running for a little while.
And under each system, you can view the special features supported by that system. Different models and systems often have different special functions. Even for the same system of the same model, the years and ECU type may lead to different special functions supported.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

D9 Smart Diagnostics System also supports 20+ commonly used special reset functions, allowing you to quickly access your vehicle system for various scheduled services, maintenance, and reset performance, eliminating the need to reset after resolving common problems. The special functions interface is shown below

Figure 5-1 Sample of Special Function

• Due to the limitation of screenshots, the special functions shown in this picture are not complete.
• All special functions supported by the D9 Smart Diagnostics System are subject to the actual special functions displayed on the device.
• Please make sure the vehicle you’re working on supports the original functions.

Below we will introduce the most commonly used service & maintenance functions

OIL RESET
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 required.

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 below

1. Enter the Oil Reset menu and choose relevant models according to the vehicle being tested.

5. Message of [Reset success] displayed when Oil Reset function has successfully performed.

EPB
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) System reset is a popular special function. You can use this function to reset the electronic parking brake system and brake pads, which also supports the brake pad replacement (retraction, release of the brake pump), G-sensor, and body angle calibration. This function has multiple uses and can safely and effectively maintain the electronic brake system. These applications include deactivating and activating brake control systems, assisting in controlling brake fluid, opening and closing brake pads, setting brakes after replacing brake discs or brake pads, etc.

1. If the brake pad wears the brake pad sense line, the brake pad sense line will send a signal to the onboard tablet asking for replacing the brake pad. After replacing the brake pad, you must reset the brake pad. Otherwise, the car alarms.
2. 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 short, which is recovered.
   • The servo motor is replaced.

The operation guidelines of the EPB function are shown below

4. Wait until the message ‘Successful operation’ pops up. And press OK to exit the menu.
5. Enter the Exit maintenance mode menu and wait until the message of ‘‘Successful operation’ popes up.

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 car 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 recovering the car body, you must reset the steering angle.

The operation guidelines of the SAS function are shown below

DPF

• The Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) function manages DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in, and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control module (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 to reduce PM ignition combustion) to stabilize the filter performance.

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.
