Operating Instructions

The DT60 features a user-friendly interface with dedicated buttons for navigation and function selection:

• UP/DOWN Buttons: Navigate through menu options.
• ENTER Button: Confirm selection or enter a function.
• ESC Button: Return to the previous screen or exit a function.
• I/M Button: Quick access to I/M Readiness status.

1. Read and Erase Codes

This function allows you to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU) and clear them after repairs.

1. From the main menu, select "OBDII/EOBD" and press ENTER.
2. Choose "Read Codes" to display current, pending, and historic DTCs. The tool will provide definitions for the codes.
3. After addressing the identified issues, select "Erase Codes" to turn off the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or "Check Engine Light".

2. I/M Readiness Monitor Function (Smog Check)

This function checks the status of the vehicle's emission-related monitoring systems to determine if the vehicle is ready for an emissions test (Smog Check). It tests Misfire, Fuel System, and Comprehensive Components.

1. From the main menu, select "I/M" or press the dedicated I/M button.
2. The screen will display the status of various monitors (e.g., MIL, DTC, MIS, FUE, CCM, CAT, HCAT, IGN, Pd DTC, EVAP, AIR, O2S, HRT, EGR). A green checkmark indicates the monitor is complete, while a red 'X' indicates it's not ready or has a fault.
3. A "Warning" may appear if no fault codes are stored but a monitor is not running.

3. On-Board Monitor Test

This function reads the results of on-board diagnostic monitoring tests for specific components or systems that are not continuously monitored.

• Navigate to "On-Board Monitor Test" from the main menu or OBDII/EOBD menu.
• Select the desired test to view its results.

4. EVAP System Test

The EVAP (Evaporative Emission Control System) Test allows you to initiate a leak test for the vehicle's EVAP system.

• Select "EVAP System Test" from the OBDII/EOBD menu.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the test.

5. Review Recorded DTCs

This feature allows you to review previously recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes, including hard (memory), pending (intermittent), and historic codes, along with their definitions.

• Select "Review Data" from the main menu.
• Choose "Review Recorded DTC" to access the stored codes.

6. View Live Data Stream and Freeze Frame

Monitor real-time operational parameters of the engine. Freeze Frame data captures a snapshot of sensor readings when a fault code is triggered, helping to identify the conditions under which the fault occurred.

• Select "Live Data" from the main menu to view parameters like Engine RPM, Vehicle Speed Sensor, etc., in graph or chart format.
• Select "Freeze Frame" to view the data recorded at the moment a DTC was set.

7. Vehicle Information (VIN, CID, CVN)

This function displays important vehicle identification information, which can be useful for repairs or parts replacement.

• Select "Vehicle Info" from the OBDII/EOBD menu.
• The screen will display the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), CID (Calibration ID), and CVN (Calibration Verification Number).

8. DTC Lookup

The DTC Lookup feature helps pinpoint failed parts by providing detailed descriptions for Diagnostic Trouble Codes, eliminating guesswork in repairs.

• Select "DTC Lookup" from the main menu.
• Enter the DTC code manually or select from a list if available.
• The tool will display a detailed guide, such as "Fuel pump circuit fuse blown", "Open Fuel Pump Monitor Circuit", "Faulty Fuel Pump Relay", or "Faulty Engine Control Module".

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the DT60 in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Inspect the OBD2 cable regularly for any signs of damage. Do not bend or crimp the cable excessively.
• Software Updates: Regularly perform software updates as described in the Setup section to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Device does not power on:
  • Ensure the OBD2 cable is securely connected to both the DT60 and the vehicle's OBD2 port.
  • Verify the vehicle's ignition is in the ON position (engine off).
  • Check the vehicle's fuse for the OBD2 port if no power is detected.
• "Monitor is not running" warning during I/M Readiness:
  • This indicates that the vehicle's self-diagnostic tests for certain emission systems have not yet completed. This often happens after clearing codes or disconnecting the battery.
  • Perform a drive cycle as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer to allow monitors to run.
• Unable to connect to vehicle:
  • Ensure your vehicle is OBD2 compliant (most vehicles from 1996 onwards in the US, 2000 in Europe, 2006 in Japan/Korea).
  • Check for any damage to the OBD2 cable or connector.
  • Try connecting the tool to another OBD2 compliant vehicle to rule out a tool issue.
• Incorrect or no data displayed:
  • Ensure the vehicle's ignition is ON.
  • Verify the tool's software is up to date.
  • Check for any pending or active DTCs that might affect data reporting.
