Generic OBD II Operations

A fast-access option for OBD II/EOBD vehicle diagnosis is available onthe Vehicle Menu screen. This option presents a quick way to check for DTCs,isolate the cause of an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), checkmonitor status prior to emissions certification testing, verify repairs, andperform a number of other services that are emissions-related. The OBD direct accessoption is also used for testing OBD II/EOBD compliantvehicles that are not included in the Diagnostics database.

Functions of the diagnostics toolbar buttons at the top of the screen arethe same as those available for specific vehicle diagnostics. See Table 4-2 Operation Toolbar Buttons on page 28 for details.

General Procedure

⮚               To access the OBD II/EOBD diagnostics functions

1.     Tapthe Diagnostics application button from the MaxiIM Job Menu.The Vehicle Menu displays.

2.     Tap the EOBD button. There aretwo options to establish communication with the vehicle.

⚫              Auto Scan – when this option is selected thediagnostic tool attempts to establish communication using each protocol inorder to determine which one the vehicle is broadcasting on.

⚫              Protocol – when this option is selected thescreen opens a submenu of various protocols. A communication protocol is astandardized way of data communication between an ECM anda diagnostic tool. Global OBD may use several different

communication protocols.

3.    Select a specificprotocol under the Protocol option. Wait for the OBD II Diagnostic Menuto appear.

Function Descriptions

This sectiondescribes the various functions of each diagnostic option:

DTC & FFD

When this functionis selected, the screen displaysa list of Stored Codes andPending Codes. When the Freeze Frame data of certainDTCs are available for viewing, a snowflake button will displayon the right side of the DTCitem.

Figure 6-7 Sample DTC & FFD Screen

The erase codes functioncan be applied by tappingthe Clear DTC button at the bottom of the screen.

⚫              Stored Codes

Stored codes are the currentemission related DTCs from the ECM of thevehicle. OBD II/EOBD Codes have a priorityaccording to their emissionseverity, with higher priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. Thepriority of the code determines the illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and the codeserase procedure. Manufacturers rank codes differently, so expect to see differences betweenvehicles.

⚫              Pending Codes

These are codes whose settingconditions were met during the last drive cycle, but need to be met on two or more consecutive drivecycles before the DTC actuallysets. The intended use of this service is to assist the service technicianafter a vehicle repair and after clearing diagnostic information, by reportingtest results after a driving cycle.

a)       If atest failed during the drivingcycle, the DTC associated with that test is reported. If the pending faultdoes not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-upcycles, the fault is automatically cleared from memory.

b)       Test results reported by this servicedo not necessarily indicate a faulty component or system. If test resultsindicate another failure after additional driving, then a DTC is set toindicate a faulty component or system, and the MIL is illuminated.

⚫              Freeze Frame

In most cases the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. CertainDTCs, which have a greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher priority.In these cases, the top prioritized DTC is the one for which the freeze framerecords are retained. Freeze frame data includes a “snapshot” of criticalparameter values at the time the DTC is set.

⚫              Clear DTC

This option is used to clear all emission relateddiagnostic data such as,DTCs, freeze frame data and manufacturer specificenhanced data from the vehicle’s ECM.

A confirmation screen displayswhen the clear codes option is selected to prevent accidental loss of data. Select Yes on the confirmation screen to continue or No to exit.

I/M Readiness

This function is used to check the readiness of the monitoring system. It is anexcellent function to use priorto having a vehicle inspectedfor compliance to a state emissions program. SelectingI/M Readiness opens a submenu with two choices:

⚫              Since DTCs Cleared – displays the status of monitors since the last timethe DTCs are erased.

⚫              This DrivingCycle – displays the status of monitors since the beginning of the current drive cycle.

Live Data

This function displays the real time PID data from ECU. Displayed dataincludes analog inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and systemstatus information broadcast on the vehicle data stream.

Live data can be displayed in various modes, see Live Data on page 48 for detailedinformation.

O2 SensorMonitor

This option allows retrieval and viewing of O2 sensor monitortest results for the mostrecently performed tests from the vehicle’s on-board computer.

The O2 Sensor Monitor test function is not supported by vehicles thatcommunicate using a controller area network (CAN).For O2 Sensor Monitor testsresults of CAN-equipped vehicles, refer to On-Board Monitor.

On-Board Monitor

This option allowsyou to view the resultsof On-Board Monitortests. The tests areuseful after servicingor after erasinga vehicle’s controlmodule memory.

Component Test

This service enables bi-directional control of the ECM so that thediagnostic tool is able to transmitcontrol commands to operate the vehicle systems.This function is useful in determining whether the ECM responds to acommand well.

Vehicle Information

The option displays the vehicle identification number (VIN), thecalibration identification, and the calibration verification number (CVN), andother information of the test vehicle.

Vehicle Status

This item is used to check the current condition of the vehicle,including communication protocols of OBD II modules, retrievedcodes amount, status of theMalfunction Indicator Light (MIL), and other additional information.

Exiting Diagnostics                                                 

The Diagnostics application remains open as long as there is an activecommunication with the vehicle. You must exit the diagnostics operation to stopall communications with the vehicle before closing the Diagnostics application.

DPF Service                                                              

The DPF function allows you to carry out numerous functions to the DieselParticulate Filter system without having to send your car to a main dealer. The tool will manageDPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach- in and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine controlunit.

ECM monitors driving styleand selects a suitabletime to employ regeneration.Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven more with high load and high speed.In order for regeneration

Figure 7-20 Sample SAS Function Screen2

to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be obtained.

In the event of the car being driven in such a way that regeneration isnot possible, i.e. frequentshort journeys, a diagnostic troublecode will eventually be registered, DPF light and“Check Engine” indicator comes on. A service regeneration can be requested inthe workshop, using the diagnostic tool.

Before carrying out a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check thefollowing items:

⚫             The fuel light is not on.

⚫             NoDPF-relevant faults storedin system.

⚫             The vehicle has the correctspec engine oil.

⚫             The oil for diesel is not contaminated.

Before diagnosing a problem vehicle and attempting to perform anemergency regeneration, it is importantto obtain a full diagnostic log and read out relevant measured value blocks.

1.     The DPF will not regenerate if theengine management light is on, or there is a faulty EGR valve.

2.     TheECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping up the fuel additive Eolys.

3.     If the vehicle needs to be driven inorder to perform a DPF service, ALWAYS have a second person help you. Oneperson should drive the vehicle while the other person observes the screen onthe Tool. Trying to drive and observe the Scan Tool at the same time isdangerous, and could cause a serious traffic accident.

About BatteryUsage                                               

Your tablet is powered by abuilt-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery. This means that, unlike otherforms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery while some charge remains withoutreducing your tablet’s autonomy due to the “battery memory effect” inherent inthose technologies.

The built-inLithium-ion Polymer batteryis factory replaceable only; incorrectreplacement or tampering with the battery pack may cause an explosion.

Do not use a damagedbattery charger.

⚫              Donot disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, punctureor shred.

⚫              Do not modify or remanufacture, attemptto insert foreignobjects into the battery, expose to fire, explosion oranother hazard.

⚫              Use only theincluded charger and USB cables. Failure to use Autel- authorized chargerand/or USB cables,may result in device malfunction or failure.

⚫              Use of anunqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage,or another hazard.

⚫              Avoid dropping thetablet. If the tablet is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the usersuspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

⚫              The closer you areto your network’s wireless router, the longer your tablet usage time becauseless battery power is consumed for the connection.

⚫              The batteryrecharging time varies depending on the remaining battery capacity.

⚫              Battery life inevitably shortensover time.

⚫              Since overchargingmay shorten battery life, remove the tablet from its charger once it is fullycharged. Unplug the charger, once charging is complete.

⚫              Leaving the tablet in hot or cold places,especially inside a car in summeror winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always keep thebattery within normal temperatures.
