1. Tap the Diagnostics button on the main home screen. Tap No button to start
vehicle's EOBD diagnosis. 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 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 communication protocols.
2. Select a specific protocol under the Protocol option. Wait for the OBD II
Diagnostic Menu to display.
3. Select a function option to continue.

Vehicle Status
NOTE
Some functions are supported only on certain vehicle makes.
This section describes the various functions of each diagnostic option:
18
DTC & FFD
When this function is selected, the screen displays a list of Stored Codes and Pending
Codes. When the Freeze Frame data of certain DTCs are available for viewing, a
snowflake button will display on the right side of the DTC item.
The erase codes function can be applied by tapping the Clear DTC button at the bottom
of the screen.
Stored Codes
Stored codes are the current emission related DTCs from the ECM of the vehicle.
OBD II/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.
a) 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.
b) 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,
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.
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.
19
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 compliance to a state emissions
program. Selecting I/M Readiness opens a submenu 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.
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.
On-Board Monitor
This option allows you to view the results of On-Board Monitor tests. The tests are useful
after servicing or after erasing a vehicle's control module memory.
Component Test
This service enables bi-directional control of the ECM so that the diagnostic tool is able
to transmit control commands to operate the vehicle systems. This function is useful in
determining whether the ECM responds to a command well.
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.
Vehicle Status
This item is used to check the current condition of the vehicle, including communication
protocols of OBD II modules, retrieved codes amount, status of the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL), and other additional information.
Exiting Diagnostics
The Diagnostics application remains open as long as there is an active communication
with the vehicle. You must exit the diagnostics operation to stop all communications with
the vehicle before closing the Diagnostics application.
20
NOTE
Damage to the vehicle electronic control module (ECM) may occur if communication is
disrupted. Make sure the wireless connection is properly connected at all times during
testing. Exit all tests before disconnecting the test connection or powering down the tool.
21
7 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 service will be listed on the Service section after purchasing. Tap the corresponding
service to select the vehicle makes you need for service operations.
The most commonly performed service functions in AP200H include:
Oil Reset Service
BMS Service
Oil Reset Service
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.
The Oil Life Reminder must be reset every time the oil is changed, so the system can
calculate when the next oil change is required.
IMPORTANT
Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change.
NOTE
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.
Battery Management System (BMS) Service
The BMS (Battery Management System) 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.
NOTE
1. This function is not supported by all vehicles. The screens shown in this section are
examples.
2. The sub functions and actual test screens of the BMS may vary for different test
22
vehicles, please follow the on-screen instructions to make correct option selection.
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, with the battery used in the vehicle. 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 the new battery type in addition to performing the battery reset. Consult
the vehicle manual for additional vehicle-specific information.
Register Battery Replacement
This option allows displaying the mileage reading of last battery replacement, registering
the battery replacement after replacing a new battery and informing the power
management system that a new battery has been fitted to the vehicle.
If the battery change is not registered, the power management system will not function
properly, which may not provide the battery with enough charging power to operate the
car and limit the functions of individual electrical equipment.
The vehicle has the correct spec engine oil.
The oil for diesel is not contaminated.
IMPORTANT
Before diagnosing a problem 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, ALWAYS have
a second person help you. One person should drive the vehicle while the other
person observes the screen on the Tool. Trying to drive and observe the Scan Tool
at the same time is dangerous, and could cause a serious traffic accident.
23
8 History
This function stores records of test vehicle history, including vehicle health state, vehicle
information and the retrieved DTCs from previous diagnostic and service sessions, and
displays all information in an easy-to-check table list, on which you can view summarized
details and manually input other information about the test vehicle and diagnostic testing
performed, etc. The History application also provides direct access to the previously tested
