VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC PREPARATION

The diagnostic program establishes data connection through the vehicle electronic control system connected with the equipment, which can read the vehicle diagnostic information, view the data flow, and perform action test and other functions. For details of the functions, please refer to the model which you purchased.
To establish good communication between the diagnostic program and the vehicle, the following operations need to be performed:

  1. Turn off the ignition;
  2. Find the diagnostic interface of the vehicle: it is usually located on the driver side; If the diagnostic interface is not found, please refer to the vehicle maintenance manual.
  3. Insert one end of the diagnostic main test line into the device DB-15 connector and tighten the retaining screws. The other end is connected to the vehicle’s diagnostic interface.

Note: Before the equipment is connected to the vehicle, it is necessary to judge whether the diagnostic seat of the vehicle is a standard OBD-II interface or a non-standard OBD-II interface.

  • The vehicle compatible with OBD-II management system only needs to use the integrated main test line OBD connector to connect with the vehicle diagnosis seat and provide power;
  • For vehicles that are not compatible with the OBD-II management system, the corresponding connector should be selected; Some vehicles need to be powered by other vehicle power sources.

The following is an operation description of these two connection modes.

  1. Connection of standard OBD-II interface
    The vehicle connected with standard OBD-II interface only needs to use the integrated main test line OBD connector, and no other connectors are needed, as shown in the figure:ANCEL HD Series Commercial Vehicle Diagnostic Tools

  2. Connection of non OBD-II interface
    Vehicles with non OBD-II interface need to connect the main test line with the corresponding special connector, as shown in the figure:ANCEL HD Series
