Power Supply

Plug the device into the diagnostic interface of the vehicle, and the device will automatically start up. If it doesn’t start up, it may be that there is no power supply for the vehicle diagnostic seat, and the device can be powered by the cigarette lighter or battery clamp.
Note: the voltage of the power supply should be within the scope of application of the product equipment. If it is beyond the scope, the product may be damaged.

Vehicle Diagnostic Preparation

The diagnostic App establishes data connection with a vehicle through the VCI, which can read the vehicle diagnostic information, view the data flow, and perform action test and other functions. 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 the VCI to the vehicle’s diagnostic interface.

Note: Before the VCI is connected to the vehicle, it is necessary to judge whether the diagnostic seat of the vehicle is a OBD-II interface. The product is provided with a Diesel OBD interface cable and a CAT-9 interface cable, which are used to connect a vehicle with a corresponding interface.
The following is the operation description of two connection modes

  1. OBD-II interface

  2. Diesel OBD interface

    Note: at this time, the device is powered by the vehicle diagnosis seat, and the device starts automatically. If not, it may be that the vehicle diagnosis seat has no power supply, and the equipment can be powered by the cigarette lighter or battery clip.

Diagnostic Function

Take the model Caterpillar 【CAT】 as an example.

  1. Click 【CAT】 menu and select connector according to the specific situation, such as 【Diesel6&9PIN】;

  2.  Select the required diagnostic method, such as 【CAT HD (1939)】;

  3. Select the system;

  4. Enter the diagnosis home page.

The main diagnostic interface usually includes the following options:

  • Read ECU Information: Read and display the control system module information detected from ECU.

  • Read Fault Code: Read the fault code information retrieved from the vehicle system module.

  • Erase Fault Code : Clear the fault code and freeze frame data retrieved from the vehicle system module

  • Read Data Stream: Read and display the real-time operation parameters of the current system module
    Select parameters and click the icon “ ”, the system can record the data stream. You can play back the data in the menu Setting/Data playback.

  • Actuation Test: By executing this function, you can access the specific subsystems of the vehicle and perform component tests. When the action test  is performed, the diagnostic instrument inputs instructions to the ECU to drive the actuators, and judges whether the actuators of the vehicle’s electronic control system and their circuits arenormal. Different control systems of different models have different executable test options, please refer to the screen display.

  • Special Function: By executing this function, you can do self-adapting for each component. It is mainly used to re-calibrate or configure the components after repairing or replacing components, so that the components of the electronic control system can adapt to each other, otherwise the system will not operate normally.
