3. Operating Instructions
After successful setup and connection, you can begin diagnosing your vehicle using the Anyscan app.
3.1. Full System Diagnostics
The A30D V2.0 can access and diagnose all available electronic control units (ECUs) in your vehicle. This includes, but is not limited to, Engine, ABS, SRS (Airbag), Transmission, TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), SAS (Steering Angle Sensor), BMS (Battery Management System), EPB (Electronic Parking Brake), Chassis, and Air Conditioning systems.
- Check Engine System: Reads fault codes, identifies the cause of the check engine light, and displays live data streams.
- ABS System: Retrieves DTCs, views live data, and offers you specific info of pending codes.

- Transmission System: This car Bluetooth diagnostic tool reads diagnostic codes from the transmission system and detects whether the car’s speed and load match its transmission’s power output.
Within each system, you can typically perform the following actions:
- Read Trouble Codes: Displays detailed DTC information.
- Erase Trouble Codes: Clears DTCs and other data from the ECU, turning off warning lights.
- ECU Information: Provides detailed information about the ECU.
- Live Data: Retrieves and displays real-time data and parameters from the vehicle's ECU.
3.2. Bi-directional Control & Active Tests
This function allows you to send commands to vehicle systems and components to test their operational status directly from the scanner, without using the vehicle's controls. This significantly speeds up troubleshooting and helps identify malfunction causes efficiently.
Examples of active tests include:
- Turning on the radiator fan
- Modulating the throttle
- Opening/closing windows
- Operating mirrors
- Turning on/off lights or the sound horn
- Testing door locks
- EVAP system tests
- ABS auto-bleed
- A/C Configuration
- Adaptive Headlamp Adjustment
- Mirrors Folding/Unfolding
- Interior lights / Inside mirrors / Steering wheel heating

3.6. FCA AutoAuth & CAN FD Protocols
The A30D V2.0 supports FCA AutoAuth for main FCA vehicles (Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, etc.) manufactured after 2018. This allows the scanner to communicate with the FCA Authentication System, bypassing the need for a bypass cable for diagnostics and bi-directional controls. Note that a personal AutoAuth account and active subscription may be required for full access to FCA's Secure Gateway Module.
It also features built-in CAN FD protocol support, making it compatible with the latest GM vehicles manufactured after 2020. CAN FD offers advantages such as shorter latency, more accuracy, better real-time performance, and higher bandwidth for efficient information transmission.

5. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions for common issues you might encounter:
5.1. "VCI Connect Failed", "License Expired", or "Software Package Updated, but Update Interface Not Available"
These issues often indicate that the VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) firmware version is too low. XTOOL technicians frequently optimize the firmware. If your firmware is not updated, it may cause communication problems.
Solution: Upgrade the firmware version according to the video operation in the setup section. If the issue persists, please contact XTOOL support for assistance.
5.2. Automatic Scan Unsuccessful
If the automatic VIN scan fails to identify your vehicle, you may need to manually enter the vehicle information. If manual entry also faces issues, please contact XTOOL support with your 17-digit VIN number for technical assistance.
5.3. Missing Activation Code
If your activation code is missing, please send your device's Serial Number (S/N) to XTOOL support (xtooldirect@outlook.com) to retrieve it.
5.4. Language Switching Issues
When switching the language in the app, the factory presets the language and model software in English. After changing the language, you will need to re-download the model software in the corresponding new language. If the software prompts that a language is not supported, contact XTOOL support for authorization.
