READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

EN | 5

ONLY OPERATE THE TEST IN A WELL-

VENTILATED AREA since the vehicle produces

carbon monoxide, a toxic and poisonous gas,

and particulate matter when the engine is

running.

ALWAYS SHIFT THE GEAR TO P (FOR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) OR TO NEUTRAL

(FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AND MAKE

SURE THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED.

ALWAYS BE AWARE OF MOVING PARTS (such

as coolant fans, pulleys, belts) since they spin

or turn at high speeds when the engine is

running.

ALWAYS WEAR APPROVED SAFETY EYE

PROTECTION to prevent damage from sharp

objects and caustic liquids.

TURN THE IGNITION OFF BEFORE CONNECTING

OR DISCONNECTING THE SCAN TOOL FROM

THE DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC) to prevent

causing damage to the scan tool or vehicle's

electronic components.

ALWAYS USE A DIGITAL MULTIMETER WITH

AT LEAST 10 MEGOHMS OF IMPEDANCE

when conducting electrical tests on vehicles

to prevent causing damage to on-board

electronic components.

NO SMOKING ANYWHERE NEAR THE VEHICLE

when testing. The fuel and battery vapors are

highly ammable.

DO NOT TOUCH HOT ENGINE PARTS to prevent

severe burns. The engine parts become very

hot when the engine is running.

DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY

WHEN WORKING ON AN ENGINE. Loose

clothing can easily be caught in the engine's

fan, pulleys, belts, etc. and jewelry is highly

conductive, which causes severe burn or

electric shock if it contacts with electricity.

Battery acid is extremely corrosive. If acid gets

into your eyes, FLUSH THEM THOROUGHLY

WITH COLD RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST

20 MINUTES AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION

IMMEDIATELY. If battery acid gets on your skin

or clothing, WASH IT IMMEDIATELY WITH A

SECTION 3

USING THE SCAN TOOL

Preparation

● DO NOT CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL TO THE VEHICLE

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON. Doing so could cause

damage to the scan tool or vehicle's electronic

components.

● Retrieving the DTCs is only one part of on-board

diagnostic. NEVER REPLACE THE PARTS SOLELY

BASED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS. Always refer

to the vehicle's service manual for detailed testing

instructions.

● ALWAYS KEEP THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN MIND

when working on a vehicle.

1. Turn the ignition off or to the "LOCK" position (0). (See

Figure 3.1.1)

2. Locate the vehicle's DLC

● Most of the vehicle's DLCs are located in one of the

positions labeled in Figure 3.1.2. Some DLCs have

a plastic cover that needs to be removed before

connecting and some are hidden nearby the fuse panel.

If you encounter a problem locating the DLC, please

EN | 15

Figure 3.1.2

Figure 3.1.3

3. Properly connect the scan tool to the DLC (See Figure 3.1.3).

The cable connector is keyed and will only t one way.

● If you cannot plug the cable in, please rotate the

connecter 180° and try it again.

4. Turn the ignition to the ON position (II) (See Figure 3.1.4),

DO NOT start the engine.

● If your vehicle is equipped with a keyless start system

and the ignition switch is an "engine start-stop" button

(See Figure 3.1.5), press the ignition button until the

car is in the "ON" Mode. Do not press the brake while

pressing the ignition button or you will start the car

instead of putting it in the "ON" position.

refer to the vehicle's service manual, or contact us with

specic vehicle information (e.g., VIN).

● The method of ignition varies by vehicle model. Please

refer to the service manual.

Figure 3.1.6

5. When the scan tool is properly connected to the DLC, the

units will start initializing and present you with the main

menu interface. (See Figure 3.1.6)

The Procedure of DTC Retrieval

1. Once you've entered the OBD-II function, the scan tool

automatically communicates with the on-board computer

to determine the communication protocol. After it's

conrmed, the link is established. (See Figure 3.2.1)

● A PROTOCOL is a set of rules and procedures for

regulating data transmission between vehicles, and

testing equipment. Here are the ve different types of

protocols (ISO 9141, Keyword 2000, J1850 PWM, J1850

VPW and CAN) that are used by vehicle manufacturers.

EN | 17

Figure 3.2.1

Figure 3.2.2

2. To retrieve the DTCs, please select Read Codes (See Figure

3.2.2), and press [OK]. The scan tool will communicate with

ECU and present you with DTCs.

● The procedure of clearing the DTCs should be

performed after the required repairing has been carried

1. Select the Erase Codes Icon (See Figure 3.3.1), and press

[OK]

out. Once conrmed, the emission-related data stored

in the ECU will be reset or cleared, WHICH IS NOT

RETRIVEABLE.

● DO NOT START UP THE ENGINE WHILE CLEARING

THE CODES.

2. After determining that all repairs have been completed,

press [OK] to clear or reset the emission-related diagnostic

data. (See Figure 3.3.2)

EN | 19

The I/M Readiness (See Figure 3.4.1) checks whether or

not the various emissions-related systems on the vehicle

are operating properly, and are ready for Inspection and

Maintenance testing.

It can also be used to conrm that the repair has been

performed correctly, and/or to check for monitor run status

after the repair has been performed.

● To perform the I/M Readiness function, you can also

press the I/M shortcut button. (See Figure 3.4.2)

1. Press the [OK] or the I/M shortcut button to perform this

function, the results will be presented on the screen. (See
