3.3 OBDII Functions

The LD700 supports all standard OBDII functions for comprehensive engine diagnostics:

• Retrieve ECU Information: Reads and displays control system module information from the ECU.
• Read Fault Codes: Identifies and displays current, permanent, and pending diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the vehicle's engine system.
• Erase Fault Codes: Clears DTCs from the vehicle's system, turning off the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after repairs.
• Review Live Data: Displays real-time data streams in text or graphic format, allowing monitoring of various sensor readings and system parameters.
• I/M Readiness Monitor: Provides a quick check of the vehicle's emission-related systems to determine if they are ready for an inspection/maintenance test.
• EVAP System Test: Allows for a leak test of the vehicle's Evaporative Emission Control System to prevent fuel vapor escape.
• Vehicle Information (Auto VIN): Automatically retrieves vehicle information such as VIN, calibration ID, and calibration verification numbers.

3.4 Auto VIN Scan

The LD700 features an automatic VIN detection function, allowing the scanner to quickly identify vehicle information (make, year, model) with a single click. This streamlines the diagnostic process by eliminating the need for manual input. If auto-detection fails, you can always manually input the vehicle details.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Common Issues and Solutions

• Device does not power on: Ensure the OBD-II connector is securely plugged into the vehicle's DLC and the vehicle's ignition is in the 'ON' position. Check the vehicle's fuse for the OBD-II port if necessary.
• Communication error with vehicle: Verify the vehicle is OBD-II compliant and manufactured after 1996 (for engine diagnostics) or 1995 (for JLR specific systems). Ensure the connection is stable. Try another OBD-II compliant vehicle to rule out device issues.
• Unable to perform a specific function: Some advanced functions may require specific vehicle conditions (e.g., engine off, ignition on, specific temperature). Refer to the on-screen prompts. Ensure your vehicle model and year are supported for that specific function.
• Screen freezes or device is unresponsive: Disconnect the device from the vehicle, wait a few seconds, and reconnect. If the issue persists, perform a software update.
