DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostic application can read ECU information, read and clear DTC
(Diagnostic Trouble Codes) and check live data and freeze frame data. The
Diagnostic application can access the ECU of various vehicle control systems,
including the Engine, Transmission, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Airbag
Safety Restraing System (SRS), Electronic Parking Brake system (EPB) and
perform many types of actuation tests.
BEGINNING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
After the tablet device is properly connected to the vehicle, you could start
the vehicle diagnosis.
VEHICLE SELECTION
The scan tool supports the following 3 ways to access the smart diagnostics
system.
- AUTO SCAN
- MANUAL INPUT
- SELECT VEHICLE BY AREA
AUTO SCAN: It supports the automatic reading of vehicle VIN code. You
also can tap on the button “AUTO SCAN” on the diagnosis system entrance to use
this function. Please make sure that the car and the device are well connected
before using this function.
If your model is not recognized, please try the following steps:
- UPDATE all software and check whether the APP is updated in [Settings]
- Please click Diagnosis on the main menu to enter the selection menu, manually select the engine system to read the ECU information, and confirm whether the VIN can be read.
- Contact the XTOOL technical team to provide the VIN code to confirm whether the model supports automatic identification of VIN.
MANUAL ENTER: It supports manual input of car VIN code. When entering the
VIN code manually, make sure that the 17 characters entered are correct to
ensure accurate test results.
SELECT VEHICLE BY AREA
In addition to the above 3 methods, you can also choose a car brand by
selecting the appropriate region. You can select the vehicle model that needs
to be diagnosed according to the area.
OBD-II supports reading the related fault codes of the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
DEMO: a demonstration program. Click this button to experience and learn
the operation processes of the diagnostic function.
Automatic Detection: Will automatically identify the vehicle’s VIN code,
and then read the information of your target diagnostic object.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONS
Diagnostics functions supported by the scan tool are listed below:
- Read ECU Information
- Read/Clear Trouble Code
- Read Live Data
- Actuation Test (Bi-Directional Control)
Read ECU Information
This function is to read ECU version information and is the equivalent of
“System Identification” or “System Information” in some electronic control
systems. These equivalent terms all refer to reading ECU-related software and
hardware versions, models and production date of diesel engines, part numbers,
etc. This information is helpful when recording maintenance records and
ordering new parts.
Read Trouble Code
In the process of diagnosis, 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 troubles are mechanical system troubles or executive circuit troubles. It
is also possible that the signal of a sensor may be inaccurate but within
limits, which can be examined using Live Data.
Clear Trouble Code
It allows for clearing current and historical trouble codes stored in the ECU
memory, under the premise that all the troubles have been resolved.
Some troubles are immediately detected by the ECU with the key in the run
position and without the engine running. Other troubles are not detected until
very specific test conditions are met such as engine coolant temperature
within a range, speed within a range for a duration of time, throttle
percentage within a range, etc.
If the trouble codes are erased when the trouble remains unresolved, the
trouble code will reappear in the ECU the next time the ECU performs the
specific diagnostic test for that trouble.
If the trouble is resolved but there is a stored trouble code, sometimes the
ECU will detect the resolution and clear the trouble code or more likely,
classify it as “historical” trouble.
If the trouble is resolved and the user clears the trouble codes, the trouble
history will be cleared.
If the user intends to have another colleague or mechanic investigate the
problem, it is not recommended for the user to clear the trouble code since
doing so may erase information helpful to others who may investigate the
issue.
Read Live Data
Real-time information about various sensors is called “Live Data”. Live Data
includes parameter identifications (PIDs) 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
predict 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 or sensitivity reduction, can be evaluated
using live data.
Actuation test (Bi-directional control)
Actuation test, also known as bidirectional control, is a generic term used to
describe sending and receiving information between one device and another.
This function is used mainly to judge whether these actuating components of
the engine are working properly.
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.
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.
REPORT
This feature provides a history of diagnostic reports, where you can view and
delete the vehicle’s diagnostic reports according to your needs.
When you finish the diagnostics progress and exit the diagnostic application
specific to this vehicle, you will get a prompt of report regeneration.
UPDATE
After activating the device, please update the software modules identified in the “Updates” screen. The device will identify all currently available software packages, and you can download them as needed. ALL software updates directly via the Internet.

SPECIAL FUNCTION
Usually, special functions provide various reset or re-learning functions
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 which could include a single start
of the engine or multiple warm up cycles.
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.
The device supports a lot of commonly used special reset functions, allowing
you to quickly access your vehicle system for various scheduled services,
maintenance, and reset performance. These functions often eliminate the need
to reset codes after resolving common problems. Since XTOOL is continuously
developing, the manual may not include all of the latest special functions
that are available for download. This user manual lists some of the commonly
used special reset services for your reference.
ABS BLEEDING
Anti-Lock Braking System keeps the tires from locking up immediately when
there are brakes. Keeping ABS in good condition can give full play to the
effectiveness of the brakes, shorten the braking time and distance, prevent
the vehicle from skidding and tailing during emergency braking, ensure good
driving stability and steering maneuverability, and avoid violent friction
between the tires and the ground to reduce tire wear. When the ABS contains
air, the ABS bleeding function must be performed to bleed the brake system to
restore ABS brake sensitivity.
ABS Bleeding can be performed in the following cases:
- replace the rear brake distributor pump or the front brake distributor pump. 2.
- Severe brake fluid shortage.
- change the brake fluid.
Caution
- The ABS pump screw needs to be unscrewed
- Brake fluid will be under pressure during this process. Secure the bleed hose and open bleeder screws slowly
- Some vehicles do not support automatic bleeding, but manually bleeding
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 (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,
applying and releasing brake pads, setting brakes after replacing brake discs
or brake pads, etc.
- 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 to clear the trouble code. Otherwise, the car continues to falsely notify the user that the brake pads are in need of replacement.
- 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 shorted.
The servo motor is replaced.
