4 Diagnostics
By establishing a data link to the electronic control units of the vehicle being
serviced directly, the Diagnostics application allows you to retrieve ECU
information, read & erase DTCs, and view live data. The Diagnostics
application can access the electronic control unit (ECU) for various vehicle
control systems, such as engine, transmission, antilock brake system (ABS),
airbag system (SRS) and more.
Establishing Vehicle Communication
The Diagnostics operations require connecting the MX808TS Diagnostic
Platform to the test vehicle through the MaxiVCI Mini. To establish proper
vehicle communication to the Display Tablet, please perform the following
steps:
1. Connect the MaxiVCI Mini to the vehicle’s DLC for both communication
and power supply.
2. Connect the MaxiVCI Mini to the Display Tablet via BT pairing.
3. When these are done, check the VCI navigation button at the bottom
bar on the screen, if the button displays a green tick icon at the lower
right corner, the MX808TS Diagnostic Platform is ready to start vehicle
diagnosis.
Vehicle Connection
The Display Tablet communicates with the vehicle via the BT connection
provided by the MaxiVCI Mini.
To connect the MaxiVCI Mini to the test vehicle, simply insert the Vehicle
Data Connector on the MaxiVCI Mini into the vehicle’s DLC which is
generally located under the vehicle dash and the MaxiVCI Mini will be
automatically powered on.
