Safety Information
For your own safety and the safety of others, and to prevent damage to the device and
vehicles upon which it is used, it is important that the safety instructions presented
throughout this manual be read and understood by all persons operating or coming into
contact with the device.
There are various procedures, techniques, tools, and parts required for servicing
vehicles, as well as the skills of the person doing the work. Because of the vast number
of test applications and variations in the products that can be tested with this equipment,
we cannot possibly anticipate or provide advice or safety messages to cover every
circumstance. It is the automotive technician’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of the
system being tested. It is crucial to use proper service methods and test procedures. It
is essential to perform tests in an appropriate and acceptable manner that does not
endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work area, the device being used, or
the vehicle being tested.
Before using the device, always refer to and follow the safety messages and applicable
test procedures provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or equipment being tested.
Use the device only as described in this manual. Be sure to read, understand, and
follow all safety messages and instructions in this manual.
Safety Messages
Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment damage.
All safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the hazard level.

be certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not jeopardize
your personal safety.
iii
DANGER
When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or attach a
building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system. Engines produce
carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes slower reaction time and
can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life.
SAFETY WARNINGS
⚫ Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
⚫ Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
⚫ Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot
engine parts.
⚫ Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area, for exhaust gases are
poisonous.
⚫ Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for
manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
⚫ Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended
while testing.
⚫ Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition
wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the
engine is running.
⚫ Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical fires nearby.
⚫ Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the
engine is running.
⚫ Keep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild
detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment as necessary.
⚫ Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time. Any
distraction may cause an accident.
⚫ Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to all
diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or damage to the test equipment.
⚫ To avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data, make sure the
vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC is clean and
secure.
⚫ Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle. Strong
electro-magnetic interference can damage the equipment.

During the diagnosis process, if the communication is suddenly
interrupted due to the loss of signal, check if there is any object that
causes signal interruption.
Try standing closer to the MaxiVCI V150 to obtain more stable signals
and faster communication speed.
⚫ Check if the Power/Connection LED on the MaxiVCI V150 lights solid red and
blue (connected via Bluetooth) or solid red and green (not connected) when
there is something abnormal, and if so, it indicates there is something
abnormal with the MaxiVCI V150. In this case, contact technical support for
help.

4.7 Generic OBDII Operations
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.
The diagnostics toolbar buttons at the top of the screen function the same as those
available for specific vehicle diagnostics. See Table 4-2 Diagnostics Toolbar Buttons on
page 27 for details.
4.7.1 General Procedure
➢ To access the OBDII/EOBD diagnostics functions
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
one the vehicle is using.
⚫ Protocol — when this option is selected, the screen opens a submenu
listing various protocols. A communications protocol is a standardized
way of data communication between an ECU and a diagnostic tool.
Global OBD may use several different communication protocols.
3. Select a specific protocol under the Protocol option. Wait for the OBDII
Diagnostic Menu to display.

⚫ Vehicle Information
⚫ Vehicle Status
NOTE
The supported functions may vary by vehicles.
4.7.2 Function Descriptions
This section describes the various functions of each diagnostic option:
4.7.2.1 DTC & FFD
When this function is selected, the screen displays a list of stored and pending codes. A
snowflake icon will display on the right side of the DTC item when the freeze frame data
is available for viewing.
46
Figure 4-25 DTC & FFD Screen
⚫ Current Codes
Current codes are the current emissions-related DTCs from the ECU 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 DTCs may vary by vehicle.
⚫ Pending Codes
These are codes that were generated during the last drive cycle, but before the
DTC actually sets, two or more consecutive drive cycles are needed. 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 single driving cycle.
a) If a test failed during the drive 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.
b) Test results reported do not necessarily indicate a faulty component or system.
If test results indicate another failure after additional driving, a DTC is stored to
indicate a faulty component or system.
⚫ Freeze Frame
Typically, the stored freeze frame is the last DTC reported. Certain DTCs that 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 frame records are retained. Freeze
frame data includes a “snapshot” of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is
set.
47
⚫ Erase Codes
This option is used to clear all emissions-related diagnostics data including DTCs,
freeze frame data, and specific manufacturer-enhanced data from the vehicle ECU.
This option resets the I/M Readiness Monitor Status for all vehicle monitors to “Not
Ready” or “Not Complete.”
A Confirmation screen will appear when the Clear Codes option is selected to
prevent accidental loss of data. Select Yes on the confirmation screen to continue,
or select No to exit.
4.7.2.2 I/M Readiness
This function is used to check the readiness of the monitoring system. It is an excellent
function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for state emissions compliance.
Select I/M readiness to display a sub menu with two choices:
⚫ Since DTCs Cleared — displays the status of monitors since the last time the
DTCs are erased.
⚫ This Driving Cycle — displays the status of monitors since the beginning of the
current drive cycle.
4.7.2.3 Live Data
This function displays the real time PID data from ECU. Displayed data includes analog
inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information broadcast
on the vehicle data stream.
Live data can be displayed in various modes. See Live Data on page 35 for detailed
information.
4.7.2.4 O2 Sensor Monitor
This function allows you to access to the oxygen sensor information, including the
characteristic parameters and the test results of some evaluation indexes. However,
the OBD system using the CAN communication protocol does not support this function,
and the relevant information will be output in the On-Board monitor.
4.7.2.5 On-Board Monitor
Use this option to view the results of on-board monitor tests. The tests are useful after
servicing or after erasing a vehicle’s control module memory.
4.7.2.6 Component Test
This function enables dual-directional control of the ECU so that the diagnostic tool is
able to transmit control commands to operate the vehicle systems. This function is
useful in determining how well the ECU responds to a command.
48
4.7.2.7 Vehicle Information
The option displays the vehicle identification number (VIN), the calibration identification,
and the calibration verification number (CVN), and other information of the test vehicle.
4.7.2.8 Vehicle Status
This function checks the current condition of the vehicle, such as the communications
protocols of OBDII modules, quantity of fault codes, and the status of the malfunction
indicator light (MIL).
4.8 Diagnostic Reports
4.8.1 Pre-Scan and Post-Scan Functions

5 Service
The Service application is specially designed to provide quick access to the vehicle
systems for various scheduled service and maintenance tasks. The typical service
operation screen is a series of menu-driven executive commands. Follow on-screen
instructions to select appropriate execution options, enter correct values or data, and
perform necessary actions. The application will display detailed instructions to complete
selected service operations.
After entering a special function, the screen will display two options: Diagnosis and Hot
Functions. The Diagnosis option enables the reading and clearing of codes which are
sometimes necessary after completing certain special functions. The Hot Functions
consists of sub functions of the selected special function.
The most commonly used services are described in this chapter.
5.1 Oil Reset Service
This function performs reset of the Engine Oil Life system, which calculates the optimal
oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate. The Oil
Life Reminder must be reset each time the oil is changed, so the system can calculate
when the next oil change is required.
NOTE
1. Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change.
2. All required work must be carried out before the service indicators are reset. Failure
to do so may result in incorrect service values and cause DTCs to be stored by the
relevant control module.
3. For some vehicles, the tool can reset additional service lights such as the
maintenance cycle and service interval. On BMW vehicles for example, service
resets include engine oil, spark plugs, front/rear brakes, coolant, particle filter, brake
fluid, micro filter, vehicle inspection, exhaust emissions inspection and vehicle
checks.
5.2 Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Service
This function has a multitude of usages to maintain the electronic braking system safely
and effectively. The applications include deactivating and activating the brake control
system, assisting with brake fluid control, opening and closing brake pads, and setting
brakes after disc or pad replacement.
54
5.2.1 EPB Safety
It can be dangerous to perform Electric Parking Brake (EPB) system maintenance, so
before you begin the service work, please keep these rules in mind:
✓ Ensure that you are fully familiar with the braking system and its operation before
commencing any work.
✓ The EPB control system may be required to be deactivated before carrying out any
maintenance/diagnostic work on the brake system. This can be done from the tool
menu.
✓ Only perform maintenance work when the vehicle is stationary and on level ground.
✓ Ensure that the EPB control system is reactivated after the maintenance work has
been completed.
NOTE
Autel accepts no responsibility for any accident or injury arising from the maintenance of
the Electric Parking Brake system.
5.3 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Service
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 reset procedures after tire sensors are
replaced.
5.4 Battery Management System (BMS) Service
The Battery Management System (BMS) allows the tool to evaluate the battery charge
state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement, activate the rest
state of the vehicle, and charge the battery via the diagnostic socket.
NOTE
1. This function is not supported by all vehicles.
2. The sub functions and actual test screens of the BMS may vary by vehicle, please
follow the on-screen instructions to make correct selections.
The vehicle may use either a sealed lead-acid battery or an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)
battery. Lead acid battery contains liquid sulphuric acid and can spill when overturned.
AGM battery (known as VRLA battery, valve regulated lead acid) also contains sulphuric
acid, but the acid is contained in glass mats between terminal plates.
It is recommended that the replacement aftermarket battery has the same specifications,
such as capacity and type, as the exiting battery. If the original battery is replaced with a
different type of battery (e.g. a lead-acid battery is replaced with an AGM battery) or a
battery with a different capacity (mAh), the vehicle may require reprogramming of the
55
new battery type, in addition to, performing the battery reset. Consult the vehicle manual
for additional vehicle-specific information.
5.5 Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Service
Steering Angle Sensor Calibration permanently stores the current steering wheel
position as the straight-ahead position in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. Therefore,
the front wheels and the steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead
position before calibration. In addition, the vehicle identification number (VIN) is also
read from the instrument cluster and stored permanently in the steering angle sensor
EEPROM. On successful completion of calibration, the steering angle sensor fault
memory is automatically cleared.
Calibration must always be carried out after the following operations:
⚫ Steering wheel replacement.
⚫ Steering angle sensor replacement.
⚫ Any maintenance that involves opening the connector hub from the steering angle
sensor to the column.
⚫ Any maintenance or repair work on the steering linkage, steering gear or other
related mechanism.
⚫ Wheel alignment or wheel track adjustment.
⚫ Accident repairs where damage to the steering angle sensor, SAS assembly, or any
part of the steering system may have occurred.
NOTE
1. Autel accepts no responsibility for any accident or injury arising from servicing the
SAS system. When interpreting DTCs retrieved from the vehicle, always follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation for repair.
2. All software screens shown in this manual are examples, actual test screens may
vary by test vehicle. Pay attention to the menu titles and onscreen instructions to
make correct selections.
3. Before starting any procedure, make sure vehicle has an ESC button. Look for
button on dash.
5.6 Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) Service
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
56
driven more with higher load and speed. In order 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.
Before performing a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the following items:
⚫ The fuel light is not on.
⚫ No DPF-relevant faults are stored in system.
⚫ The vehicle has the specified engine oil.
⚫ The oil for diesel is not contaminated.
IMPORTANT
Before diagnosing a problematic vehicle and attempting to perform an emergency
regeneration, it is important to obtain a full diagnostic log and read out relevant
measured value blocks.
NOTE
1. The DPF will not regenerate if the engine management light is on, or there is a
faulty EGR valve.
2. The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping up the fuel
additive Eolys.
3. If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a DPF service, a second person
is needed for the function. One person should drive the vehicle while the other
person observes the screen on the Tool. Do not attempt to drive and observe the
scan tool at the same time. This is dangerous and puts your life and the lives of
other motors and pedestrians at risk.
5.7 Immobilizer (IMMO) Service
An immobilizer is an anti-theft mechanism that prevents an automobile’s engine from
starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present. This device prevents
thieves from starting the car by a method known as hot wiring. Most new vehicles have
an immobilizer as standard equipment. An important advantage of this system is that it
doesn’t require the car owner to activate it; it operates automatically. An immobilizer is
considered as providing much more effective anti-theft protection than an audible alarm
alone; many auto insurance companies offer lower rates for vehicles that are equipped
with an immobilizer.
As an anti-theft device, an immobilizer disables one of the systems needed to start a
car's engine, usually the fuel supply or the ignition. This is accomplished by radio
57
frequency identification between a transponder in the ignition key and a radio frequency
reader in the steering column. When the key is placed in the ignition, the transponder
sends a signal with a unique identification code to the reader, which relays it to a
receiver in the vehicle's computer control module. If the code is correct, the computer
allows the fuel supply and ignition systems to operate and start the engine. If the code is
incorrect or absent, the computer disables the system, and the engine will be unable to
start until the correct key is placed in the ignition.
The IMMO service can disable a lost vehicle key and program the replacement key fob.
One or more replacement key fobs can be programmed.
58

6.8 TPMS Relearn
This function is used to write the newly programmed sensor IDs into the vehicle ECU for
sensor recognition.
Generally speaking, relearn only needs to be performed when the newly programmed
sensor IDs are different from the original sensor IDs stored in the TPMS ECU.
There are four ways for relearn, namely OBD Relearn, Automatic Relearn, Stationary
Relearn, and Copy Relearn. The first three are relearn methods for new sensor ID, while
the Copy Relearn is a method to clone the sensor ID.
6.8.1 OBD Relearn
OBD Relearn is completed via the OBD diagnostic function without needing to drive,
and the relearn procedures are basically the same for different models. Thus, we highly
recommend you use this efficient and time-saving relearn method.
The OBD Relearn function allows the MP900-TS tablet to directly write the TPMS
sensor IDs into the TPMS module.
NOTE
1. Not all vehicles support the OBD Relearn function. If the selected vehicle supports
OBD Relearn function, the OBD Relearn button will display on the bottom of the
screen.
2. Before performing the OBD Relearn function, be sure to activate all the four
sensors.

6.8.2 Automatic Relearn
Automatic Relearn requires driving to complete. For some vehicle models, the
Automatic Relearn procedures can be completed directly by driving, while for some
vehicle models, you need to follow the on-screen Learning Process Guide to let the
vehicle enter the Automatic Relearn mode before driving.
Figure 6-29 Automatic Relearn Screen 1
81
Figure 6-30 Automatic Relearn Screen 2
6.8.3 Stationary Relearn
Stationary Relearn can be completed without relying on driving and OBD diagnostics.
To activate this mode, it is usually necessary to perform a series of operations to let the
vehicle enter the relearn mode first, then use TPMS tools to perform activation or
deflation to complete the relearn. The Stationary Relearn operation procedures vary by
vehicle models. Please carefully read the on-screen Learning Process Guide before
performing Stationary Relearn.
NOTE
Stationary Relearn requires the vehicle to be placed in the “Learn Mode” after each new
sensor is triggered.
82
Figure 6-31 Stationary Relearn Screen 1
Figure 6-32 Stationary Relearn Screen 2
6.8.4 Copy Relearn
Copy Relearn is to clone the sensor ID and tire location. Before performing Copy
Relearn, you need to first obtain the sensor ID and tire location needed to be cloned,
then use Autel tool to clone and program the sensor ID, and install the sensor to the
corresponding tire to complete Copy Relearn.
83
NOTE
1. Ensure the original sensor will not interfere with the relearn procedures. It is
recommended that you keep the original sensor at least 100 meters away from the
vehicle or put the sensor in an enclosed metal box to avoid signal interference.
2. Normally, it is not necessary to perform relearn procedures after cloning. However,
some vehicle models like Porsche and Maserati, may need to perform the relearn
procedures after cloning, so that the TPMS system can work properly.

selling agent.
21.3 About Battery Usage
Your tablet is powered by a built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery. This means that, unlike
other forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery while some charge
remains without reducing your tablet’s autonomy due to the “battery memory effect”
inherent in those technologies.
DANGER
1. The built-in Lithium-ion Polymer battery is factory replaceable only; incorrect
replacement or tampering with the battery pack may cause an explosion.
2. Do not use a damaged battery charger.
⚫ Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.
⚫ Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery,
138
expose to fire, explosion or other hazards.
⚫ Make sure to use the charger and USB cables only that come together in the
package. If you use the other charger and USB cables, you might incur malfunction
or failure of the device.
⚫ Only use the charging device that has been qualified with device as per the
standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazards.
⚫ Avoid dropping the tablet. If the tablet is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and
the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
⚫ Move the tablet closer to your network’s base station to improve battery life.
⚫ The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery capacity.
⚫ Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
⚫ Since over charging may shorten battery life, remove the tablet from its charger
once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger, once charging is complete.
⚫ Leaving the tablet in hot or cold places, especially inside a vehicle in summer or
winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always keep the battery
within normal temperatures.

NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

IC WARNING
-English:
This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
-French:
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes:
(1) l'appareil nedoit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
SAR
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure
limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for
human contact is minimized during normal operation.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/Kg. Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC
radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to antenna should be minimized.
RF WARNING STATEMENT
The device has been evaluated to meet general RF exposure requirement. The device
can be used in portable exposure condition without restriction.
