Special Function

Definition Special Function

Oil Light Reset
This function allows you to perform reset for the Engine Oil Life system, which calculations 1An optional oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climates. 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.

EPB Reset
This function has a multitude of usages to maintain the elec-tronic 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, etc

ABS Bleeding
This function allows you to perform various bi-directional tests to check the operating conditions of Anti-lock Braking System (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 computer, 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.

Throttle Relearn
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.

SAS Reset
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.

OBDII Function

This section describes the various functions of each option:

1. 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.
2. 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, and reset the I/M Readi-ness Monitor Status for all vehicle’s ECM.
3. This function displays the real time PID data from ECU. Dis-played data includes analog inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information broadcast on the vehicle data stream.
4. 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 service is to assist the service technician after a vehicle repair and after clearing diagnostic information, by expect or see differences between makes.
5. Typically, the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. Certain DTCs that have a greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher priority. The top prioritized DTC is the one for which the freeze frame records are retained.
6. 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 choice.
7. Use this option to view the result of On-Board Monitor tests. The tests are useful after servicing or after erasing a vehicle’s control module memory.
8. The option displays the vehicle identification number (VIN), the
