Safety Messages

Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the hazard level.
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.

Safety Instructions

The safety messages herein cover situations Autel is aware of. Autel cannot know, evaluate or advise you as to all of the possible hazards. You must be certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not jeopardize your personal safety.
DANGER
When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system. Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes a slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life.

SAFETY WARNINGS

• Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
• Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
• 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, for exhaust gases are poisonous.
• Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
• Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while testing.
• Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires, and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
• Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical fires nearby.
• Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running.
• Keep the test equipment dry, clean, and free from oil, water, or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment as necessary.
• Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time. Any distraction may cause an accident.
• Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the test equipment.
• To avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data, make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC is clean and secure.
• Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle. Strong electromagnetic interference can damage the equipment.

Diagnosis and Services

5.1 Menu Options
After the Anyscan A30D is connected to the vehicle and paired with the Anyscan A30D App via Bluetooth connection, diagnosis can be performed. Users can choose the relevant menu for the vehicle being tested. The diagnostic interface is as shown below:

Full System Diagnostics：
A30D can diagnose the electronic control system of prevailing vehicle models covering America， Asia， Europe, Australia, and China. A full range of car models and full car system diagnosis make it a professional automotive diagnostic tool. Include ABS system, Engine system, SAS system, TPMS system, IMMO system, Battery system, Oil service system, SRS system, etc… Diagnosis functions include Read Live Data, On-Board Monitor, Component Test, Vehicle Information, Vehicle Status, etc…

Read/Clear code
This option is used to read/clear all emission-related diagnostic data such as DTCs, freeze frame data, and manufacturer-specific enhanced data from the vehicle’s ECM. A confirmation screen displays when the read/clear codes option is selected to prevent accidents. A confirmation screen displays when the read/clear codes option is selected to prevent accidental loss of data. Select “Yes” on the confirmation screen to continue or “No” to exit.

Live Data
This function displays the real-time PID data from ECU. Displayed data includes analog inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information broadcast on the vehicle data stream. Live data can be displayed in various modes.

Component Test
This service enables bi-directional control of the ECM so that the diagnostic tool is able to transmit control commands to operate the vehicle systems. This function is useful in determining whether the ECM responds to commands well.
Vehicle Information
The option displays the vehicle identification number (VIN), the calibration identification, the calibration verification number (CVN), and other information about the test vehicle.

Vehicle Status
This item is used to check the current condition of the vehicle, including communication protocols of OBD II modules, retrieved codes amount, the status of the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), and other additional information

5.2 Services
Besides the usual system diagnostic functions, Anyscan A30D also has a special function for certain vehicles. The special function section is specially designed to provide you with quick access to the vehicle systems for various scheduled service and maintenance performances. The typical service operation screen is a series of menu-driven executive commands. By following the on- screen instructions to select appropriate execution options, enter correct values or data, and perform necessary actions, the system will guide
you through the complete performance for various service operations.

The most commonly performed service functions include:

• Service/Maintenance Light Reset
• EPB Reset
• SAS Adjust
• DPF Regeneration
• Injector Coding
• ABS Bleeding
• Gear learning
• BMS Reset
• Gearbox Match
• SRS reset
• TPMS Reset

Service/Maintenance Light Reset ： The lightening of the car maintenance light indicates that the vehicle needs maintenance. Reset the mileage or driving time to zero after the maintenance, so the maintenance light will go out and the system will start a new maintenance cycle.
EPB Reset ： This function has a multitude of usages to maintain the electronic braking system safely and effectively. The applications include deactivating and activating the brake control system, assisting with brake fluid control, opening and closing brake pads, setting brakes after disc or pad replacement, etc.
SAS Adjust ： To reset the steering angle, 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.
DPF Regeneration ： DPF regeneration is used to clear PM(Particulate Matter) from the PDF 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.
Injector Coding ： Write injector actual code or rewrite code in the ECU to the injector code of the corresponding cylinder so as to more accurately control or correct cylinder injection quantity.
ABS Bleeding ： When the ABS contains air, the ABS bleeding function must be performed to bleed the brake system to restore ABS brake sensitivity.
Gear learning ： After the engine ECu, crankshaft position sensor, or crankshaft flywheel is replaced, or the DTC ‘gear not learned’ is present, gear learning must be performed.
BMS Reset ： The BMS (Battery Management System) allows the scan tool to evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement, and activate the rest state of the vehicle.
Gearbox Match ： When the gearbox is disassembled or repaired (the car battery is powered off), it will cause a shift delay. In this case, you need to perform this operation so that the gearbox can automatically compensate according to the driving situation to achieve better shift quality.
SRS Reset: This function resets the airbag data to clear the airbag collision fault indicator.
TPMS Reset: This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle’s ECU, as well as to perform TPMS replacement and sensor test.
