device software may not run.
Note: Access to network resources makes the device vulnerable to computer viruses, hackers, spyware, and
other malicious behaviors, and may damage the device, software, or data. To make ensure that you are using
rewalls, anti-virus software and anti-spyware software to provide adequate protection for your computer and
keep these softwares up to date.
Precautions on Using this tool
To make sure the ignition switch should be in the OFF position when plugging and unplugging the
diagnostic connector.
Keep the connector in the storage box on the back of the main unit, when the vehicle diagnosis is nished.
Gently press the diagnostic connector to pop up the diagnostic connector. Do not pull or use sharp
objects to pry the diagnostic connector.
Precautions on Operating Vehicle’s ECU
Do not disconnect battery or any wiring cables in the vehicle when the ignition switch is on, as this could
avoid damage to the sensors or the ECU.
Do not place any magnetic objects near the ECU. Disconnect the power supply to the ECU before
performing any welding operations on the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when performing any operations near the ECU or sensors. Ground yourself when
you disassemble PROM, otherwise ECU and sensors can be damaged by static electricity.
When reconnecting the ECU harness connector, be sure it is attached firmly, otherwise electronic

B. Read Fault Code
This function is to read the DTC in the ECU memory, helping maintenance personnel to quickly identify
background
14
the cause of the vehicle breakdown.As shown below, “Read Fault Code”, and then the screen will display
diagnostic results.
Tips: Reading the DTC when troubleshooting a vehicle is only a small step in the entire diagnostic process.
Vehicle DTC are for reference only, and parts cannot be replace directly based on the given DTC defi nition.
Each DTC has a set of test procedures. The maintenance technician must strictly conform to the operation
instructions and procedures described in the car maintenance manual to confirm the root cause of the
breakdown.
C. Clear Fault Code
On the diagnostic function selection screen, tap Clear Fault Code, the system will automatically delete the
currently existing DTCs and display the dialog box of "DTCs Cleared".
Note: For general models, please operate strictly according to the normal sequence: read DTC - clear DTC -
test the car - retrieve DTC for verifi cation - repair the car - clear DTC recheck the car, to confi rm that the
DTC no longer appears.
D. Read Data Stream
This option lets you view and capture (record) real-time Live Data of ECU. This data, including current
operating status for parameters and/or sensor information, can provide insight on overall vehicle
performance. It can also be used to guide vehicle maintenance.
Select all and tap "ok" or just select the one you would like to check.
Note: If you must drive the vehicle in order to perform a troubleshooting procedure, ALWAYS have a second
person
to
help you. Trying to drive and operate the diagnostic device at the same time is dangerous, and could
cause a serious traffi c accident.

3.3.1 Oil Reset
The lightening of the car maintenance light indicates that the vehicle needs maintenance. Reset the
mileage or driving time to zero after the maintenance, so the maintenance light will go out and the system
background
18
will start a new maintenance cycle.
3.3.2 Elec. Throttle Adaption
Elec. Throttle Adaption is to utilize the car decoder to initialize the throttle actuator so that the learning
value of the ECU returns to the initial state. By doing these, the movement of the throttle (or idle motor)
can be more accurately controlled, thus adjust the intake volume. Situations when throttle matching is
needed:
a. After replacing the electronic control unit, the relevant characteristics of the throttle operation have not
been stored in the electronic control unit.
b. After the electric control unit is powered off , the memory of the electric control unit’s memory is lost.
c. After replacing the throttle assembly, you need to match the throttle.
d. After replacing or disassembling the intake port, the controlling of the idle speed by the coordination
between the electronic control unit and the throttle body is aff ected.
