The Diagnostics application can access the electronic control unit (ECU) for various vehicle control systems, including engine, transmission, antilock brake system (ABS), airbag system (SRS)

Vehicle Identification

The MaxiPro diagnostic system (DS808S)supports four methods for Vehicle Identification.

Auto Scan

The Auto Scan function performs a comprehensive scanning over all the ECUs in the vehicle to locate systems’ faults and retrieve DTCs. An example of the Auto Scan interface is pictured below:

Control Unit

Manually locate a required control system for testing through a series of selection choices. Follow the menu driven procedures and make proper selection; DS808S can guide the user to the proper diagnostic function menu based on selections.

• ECU Information - Upgraded Version DS808S provides the retrieved ECU information in detail. An information screen opens upon selection.

• Trouble Codes - The function of DS808S includes Read codes and Erase codes functions. Displays detailed information of DTC records retrieved from the test vehicle’s ECU and erases DTC records and other data from the test vehicle’s ECU

• Freeze Frame - displays the freeze frame data of the DTCs

• Live Data - retrieves and displays live data and parameters from the test vehicle’s ECU

• Active Test - provides specific subsystem and component tests

• Special Functions - performs various component adaptations

ECU Information

DS808S retrieves and displays the specific information for the tested control unit, including unit type, version numbers and other specifications.

Trouble Codes

Live Data

When this function is selected, the screen displays the data list for the selected module. The items available for any control module vary from one vehicle to another. The parameters display in the order that they are transmitted by the ECM, so expect variation between vehicles.

Generic OBDII Operations

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

General Procedure

1. Tap the Diagnostics application button from the MaxiPro Job Menu. The Vehicle Menu displays

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

   • • 

     • Auto Scan — when this option is selected the diagnostic tool attempts to establish communication using each protocol in order to determine which 30 one the vehicle is broadcasting on

   • • 

     • Protocol — when this option is selected the screen opens a submenu of various protocols. A communication protocol is a standardized way of data communication between an ECM and a diagnostic tool. Global OBD may use several different communications protocols

Function Descriptions

DTC & FFD

When this function is selected, the screen displays a list of Stored Codes and Pending Codes. When the Freeze data of certain DTCs are available for viewing, a snowflake button will display on the right side of the DTC item.

• Stored Codes

  Stored codes are the current emission related DTCs from the ECM of the vehicle. OBDII/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission severity, with higher priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. The priority of the code determines the illumination of the MIL and the codes erase procedure. Manufacturers rank codes differently, so expect to see differences between makes.

• Pending Codes

  These are codes whose setting conditions were met during the last drive cycle, but need to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before the DTC actually sets. The intended use of this service is to assist the service technician after a vehicle repair and after clearing diagnostic information, by reporting test results after a driving cycle.

  1. If a test failed during the driving cycle, the DTC associated with that test is reported. If the pending fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault is automatically cleared from memory.
  2. Test results reported by this service do not necessarily indicate a faulty component or system. If test results indicate another failure after additional driving, then a DTC is set to indicate a faulty component or system, and the MIL is illuminated.
• Freeze Frame

  In most cases the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. Certain DTCs, which have a greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher priority. In these cases, 32 the top prioritized DTC is the one for which the freeze frame records are retained. Freeze data includes a “snapshot” of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is set.

• Clear DTC

  This option is used to clear all emission related diagnostic data such as, DTCs, freeze frame data and manufacturer specific enhanced data from the vehicle’s ECM. A confirmation screen displays when the clear codes option is selected to prevent accidental loss of data. Select Yes on the confirmation screen to continue or No to exit.

Service

The Service section is specially designed to provide you with quick access to the vehicle systems for various scheduled service and maintenance performances. The typical service operation screen is a series of menu driven executive commands. By following the on-screen instructions to select appropriate execution options, enter correct values or data, and perform necessary actions, the system will guide you through the complete performance for various service operations.

The reset service is not applicable to all models, and the models supported by different functions are different. If you need to know whether Autel diagnostic tools can support it, please contact us and inform us of
