5 DIAGNOSIS
The diagnostic application can read ECU information, read and
clear DTC and check living data and freeze frames. The diagnosis
application can access the electronic control unit (ECU) of various
vehicle control systems, including the engine, transmission, anti-
lock braking system (ABS), airbag system (SRS), and perform kinds
of actuation tests.
VEHICLE SELECTION
Click “Diagnosis” icon on the main screen and get into the diagnosis
menu. Like the immobilizer menu, the brands will be shown on the
screen. Select the region of your vehicle, click the correct brand,
and start diagnosis process.
Fig 5-1
39
For some of the brands (like Volkswagen), when you click in the
software, there are several ways to select the model or system you
want to run a diagnosis, including Automatic Detection, Manual
Selection and System Selection.
Fig 5-2
Automatic Detection will automatically identify the vehicle's VIN
code, and then read the information of your target diagnostic object.
If you choose "Manual selection", then you can continue to select
the vehicle brand, year, and model of the vehicle in the sub-menu
to diagnosis the vehicle. Enter "System Selection", you can also
diagnose the vehicle according to the system according to your
needs after selecting the model.
40
OBDII menu supports reading the common fault codes in the engine. The DTCs
may not be the same when comparing with using common diagnosis software.
DEMO is a demonstration program. You can perform basic diagnosis functions
without connecting to the car.
DIAGNOSE FUNCTIONS
The diagnosis system supports 5 basic diagnosis functions:
Read ECU Information
Read/Clear Trouble Code
Read Live Data
Actuation Test (Bi-Directional Control)
Freeze Frame
Fig 5-3
41
Read ECU Information
This function is to read ECU version information, which is the
equivalent of "System Identification" or "System information” in
some electronic control systems, which means to read ECU related
software and hardware versions, models and production date of
diesel engine, part number, etc.
Fig 5-4
42
Read Trouble Code
Read trouble codes that’s stored in ECU.
Fig 5-5
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 of these troubles are mechanical system troubles
or executive circuit troubles, it is also possible that signal of the sensor may bias within
limits, which can be judged in Live Data.
43
Clear Trouble Code
It allows to clear current and historical trouble codes memory in
ECU, under the premise that all the troubles are eliminated.
Fig 5-6
The trouble codes can’t be erased without eliminating all the troubles, which will
cause the diagnostic tool always reading the trouble code because the code will
always be saved in ECU.
Read Live Data
That is to read the parameters of the system, like for engine
diagnosis, there are parameters like oil pressure, temperature,
engine speed, fuel oil temperature, coolant temperature, intake air
temperature, etc. Based on these parameters, we can judge directly
44
where the problem lies, which helps to narrow the scope in
maintenance. For some vehicles, during their actual operation, the
problems such as performance characteristics offset, sensitivity
reduction, can be judged in live data.
Fig 5-7
Actuation Test
Actuation test, also known bidirectional control, is a generic term
used to describe sending and receiving information between one
device and another.
45
Fig 5-8
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.
46
Fig 5-9
This function allow device sends information to, and receives
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 have the ability to actuate relays, injectors
and coils, perform system tests, etc. Users could check the
individual part to see what is working properly by actuation test.
47
Freeze Frame
When the signal of the sensor is abnormal, the ECU will save the
data at that moment of failure to form a freeze frame. It is usually
used to analyze the reasons that may lead to car failures.
The living data items supported by vehicles of different brands are
not exactly the same, so the freeze frames displayed when
diagnosing vehicle of different brands may also be different. Some
vehicles may not have the option of freeze frame, because the
model does not support this function.
6 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
X100MAX Auto Key Programmer also supports 23 commonly used
special reset functions, allowing you to quickly access your vehicle
system for various scheduled services, maintenance and reset
performance, eliminating the need to reset after resolving common
problems. This user manual lists some of the commonly used
special reset services for your reference. The special functions
interface is shown as below:
48
Fig 6-1
Due to the limitation of screenshots, the special functions shown in this picture are not
complete.
All special functions supported by X100MAX are subject to the actual special functions
displayed on the device.
Please make sure the vehicle you’re working on supports the original functions.
OIL LIGHT RESET
Reset the Engine Oil Life System, which calculates the optimum oil
life change interval based on the vehicle's driving conditions and
climate. The oil life reminder must be reset each time the oil is
49
changed so that the system can calculate when the next oil change
is required.
This function allows you to perform reset for the engine oil life
system, which calculates an optimal oil life change interval
depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate.
This function can be performed in the following cases:
If the service lamp is on, you must provide service for the car.
After service, you need to reset the driving mileage or driving
time so that the service lamp turns off and the system enables
the new service cycle.
After changing engine oil or electric appliances that monitor oil
life, you need to reset the service lamp.
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, which also supports the brake pad
replacement (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, opening and closing
50
brake pads, and setting brakes after replacing brake discs or brake
pads, etc.
1. If the brake pad wears the brake pad sense line, the brake pad
sense line sends a signal sense line to the on-board tablet to
replace the brake pad.
After replacing the brake pad, you must reset the brake pad.
Otherwise, the car alarms.
2. 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 short, which is recovered.
The servo motor is replaced.
SAS
Steering Angle Sensors (SAS) System Calibration permanently
stores the current steering wheel position as the straight-ahead
position in the SAS EEPROM. Therefore, the front wheels and the
steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead position
before calibration. In addition, the VIN is also read from the
instrument cluster and stored permanently in the SAS EEPROM.
On successful completion of calibration, the SAS fault memory is
automatically cleared.
51
To reset the steering angle, first find the relative zero-point position
for the car to drive in straight line. Taking this position as reference,
the ECU can calculate the accurate angle for left and right steering.
After replacing the steering angle position sensor, replacing
steering mechanical parts (such as steering gearbox, steering
column, end tie rod, steering knuckle), performing four-wheel
alignment, or recovering car body, you must reset the steering angle.
DPF
The Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) function manages DPF
regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in and DPF
teach-in after replacing the engine control unit.
The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to
employ regeneration. Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load
will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven more with higher
load and speed. For regeneration 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
is not possible, i.e., frequent short journeys, a diagnostic trouble
code will eventually be registered in addition to the DPF light and
“Check Engine” indicators displaying. A service regeneration can be
requested in the workshop using the diagnostic tool.
52
DPF regeneration is used to clear PM (Particulate Matter) from the
DPF filter through continuous combustion oxidation mode (such as
high temperature heating combustion, fuel additive or catalyst
reduce PM ignition combustion) to stabilize the filter performance.
DPF regeneration may be performed in the following cases:
The exhaust back pressure sensor is replaced.
The PM trap is removed or replaced.
The fuel additive nozzle is removed or replaced.
The catalytic oxidizer is removed or replaced.
The DPF regeneration MIL is on and maintenance is performed.
The DPF regeneration control module is replaced.
BMS RESET
The Battery Management System (BMS) allows the scan tool to
evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current,
register the battery replacement, and activate the rest state of the
vehicle.
This function enables you to perform a resetting operation on the
monitoring unit of vehicle battery, in which the original low battery
fault information will be cleared and battery matching will be done.
Battery matching must be performed in the following cases:
Main battery is replaced. Battery matching must be performed
to clear original low battery information and prevent the related
control module from detecting false information. If the related
53
control module detects false information, it will invalidate some
electric auxiliary functions, such as automatic start & stop
function, sunroof without one-key trigger function, power window
without automatic function.
Battery monitoring sensor. Battery matching is performed to re-
match the control module and motoring sensor to detect battery
power usage more accurately, which can avoid an error
message displaying on the instrument panel.
THROTTLE
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Match, this function enables you to
make initial settings to throttle actuators and returns the “learned”
values stored on ECU to the default state. Doing so can accurately
control the actions of regulating throttle (or idle engine) to adjust the
amount of air intake.
TPMS RESET
Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Reset allows you to quickly
look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle ECU, as well as to
perform TPMS replacement and reset procedures after tire sensors
are replaced.
This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from
the vehicle’s ECU, as well as to perform TPMS replacement and
sensor test.
54
After the tire pressure MIL turns on and maintenance is
performed, the tire pressure resetting function must be
performed to reset tire pressure and turn off the tire pressure
MIL.
Tire pressure resetting must be performed after maintenance is
performed in the following cases: tire pressure is too low, tire
leaks, tire pressure monitoring device is replaced or installed,
tire is replaced, tire pressure sensor is damaged, and tire is
replaced for the car with tire pressure monitoring function.
ABS BLEEDING
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Bleeding allows you to perform
various bi-directional tests to check the operating conditions of ABS.
1. When the ABS contains air, the ABS bleeding function must be
performed to bleed the brake system to restore ABS brake
sensitivity.
2. If the ABS tablet, ABS pump, brake master cylinder, brake
cylinder, brake line, or brake fluid is replaced, the ABS bleeding
function must be performed to bleed the ABS.
3. After the oil in the brake oil tank is seriously insufficient or the
brake fluid is replaced, ABS Bleeding is also required
When performing ABS Bleeding, it is necessary to unscrew the exhaust screw of the
ABS pump.
After completing the tire pressure sensor learning, it takes a while for the fault light to
go out.
55
Tire pressure imbalance will also cause the tire pressure light to light up.
INJECTOR CODING
This function can write the identification code of the fuel injector into
the ECU so that the ECU can recognize and work normally. Write
injector actual code or rewrite code in the ECU to the injector code
of the corresponding cylinder so as to more accurately control or
correct cylinder injection quantity.
After the ECU or injector is replaced, injector code of each cylinder
must be confirmed or re-coded so that the cylinder can better
identify injectors to accurately control fuel injection.
After cleaning, generally there is no need to do the coding matching function.
The identification of the fuel injector includes its working accuracy value and type value.
When replacing it, you need to find the corresponding model for replacement.
At present, mainstream cars support injector coding function
GEARBOX MATCH
After changing the gearbox or changing the gearbox ECU, you need
to use the gearbox matching function to re-match the engine and
the gearbox.
*Cautions!
Before resetting the gearbox, please check the gearbox control unit
to ensure that there is no fault code. If there is a fault code, the
gearbox memory function cannot be reset. Please road test after
reset.
56
SUSPENSION
This function can adjust the height of the vehicle body. When
replacing the body height sensor in the air suspension system, or
control module or when the vehicle level is incorrect, you need to
perform this function to adjust the body height sensor for level
calibration.
The air suspension system reset function enables the tablet ECU to
match the current air suspension system information, thereby
ensuring the normal damping effect of the vehicle when driving.
Application scenarios:
The shock absorber is not the same height due to air leakage,
maintenance, replacement, etc.;
After replacing the air pump assembly;
After replacing the electronic control module.
WINDOWS INITIALIZATION
This function is to match the windows to restore the initial memory
of the ECU and restore the automatic raising and lowering functions
of the power window. Usually when the vehicle window fails or after
replacing the window glass, we need to use this function to initialize
the car window.
57
SEAT CALIBRATION
This function is suitable for the matching of replacement and
maintenance seats with memory function. After the seat fails or is
replaced or repaired, it is generally necessary to use this function to
match the seat.
Needed for cars with seats with memory function, general gasoline cars don’t need.
HEADLIGHT
This function is used to initialize the adaptive headlight system. It
refers to the adaptive front lighting system (when using bi-xenon
headlights at night), it can be rotated to the sides, pressing the
button means that they remain direct, and do not turn when you turn.
After replacing the headlights, the adaptive headlight system needs
to be matched.
ECU CONFIGURATION
When a car with a high-level configuration and a car with a low-level
configuration share the same ECU, or you need to change or add
some features unique to the high-end vehicles, you can use this
function to support the activation of the hidden functions of the car
(except those that are not supported by the hardware). Different
hidden functions may require different operation steps, please be
sure to operate under the guidance.
58
Cautions!
The functions that the original ECU must support can be flashed
out.
Brushing to hide will not destroy the ECU system layer, but only
open and close some functions.
Most of them can be re-flashed multiple times.
Support cars:
Volkswagen, Toyota, BMW, Ford, Mazda
*A/F RESET
This function is applied to set or learn Air/Fuel ratio parameters.
*STOP/START RESET
This function is used to open or close the automatic start-stop
function via setting the hidden function in ECU (provided that the
vehicle has a hidden function and supported by hardware).
AIRBAG RESET
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Reset allows you resets the
airbag data to clear the airbag collision fault indicator. Generally,
SRS reset is required after airbag replacement
59
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
This function allows you to copy, write or rewrite the kilometers in
the odometer chip by using the car diagnostic tablet and data cable,
so that the odometer can display the actual mileage.
