4.2 Maintenance
This function provides you with 8 maintenance services including Oil Reset, Throttle Adaptation, Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Reset, Steering Angle Reset, Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Bleeding, Battery Management System (BMS) Resets and Airbag Resets.
4.2.1 Services Overview
Oil Reset
This function allows you to reset the oil service lamp for the engine oil life system. The engine oil light system calculates an optimal oil change interval depending on the vehicle’s driving conditions and weather events. Oil resets are required every time the engine oil is changed.
EPB Reset
This function helps you replace and reset the brake pads. It needs to be performed in the following cases:

  • After the brake pads and brake pad wear sensors are replaced;
  • When the brake pad warning light is on;
  • After a short circuit in the brake pad sensor is fixed;
  •  After the servo motor is replaced.

Steering Angle Reset
If the steering angle sensor is replaced, or the steering angle is inaccurate or not centered, the steering angle reset function needs to be performed to find the relative zero position. With this position as a reference, the ECU can then calculate the exact angle for left and right steering.
BMS Reset
After the car battery is replaced, the car battery control unit needs to be reset. This will clear fault information (such as low battery level) so that the control unit can match the relevant information of the newly replaced battery.
ABS Bleeding
When the brake system is opened to replace components such as brake pump, master cylinder, brake lines or brake fluid, air gets inside, which can lead to a soft brake pedal. ABS Bleeding is required to restore the brake pedal’s firmness.
Throttle Adaptation
If the ECU is disconnected accidentally, or if the throttle is replaced or cleaned, then the throttle actuators need to be initialized via the Throttle Adaptation function. This resets the ECU’s data to its initial state so that the throttle can accurately regulate the air intake.
DPF Regeneration
This function is mainly used for the regeneration of diesel particulate filters. To keep the filters performing well it removes particles by means of combustion and oxidation.
Airbag Reset
This function allows you to reset the airbag data to turn off the airbag light, so that the airbag control module can run normally.
It needs to be performed in the following cases:

  • When the airbag deploys;
  • When the diagnostic tool reads “Crash data stored”;
  • When the airbag light is on;
  •  When relevant DTCs cannot be cleared.
