4. Operating Instructions
The IDUTEX TS710 operates on an Android 5.1 system with a 7-inch G+G capacitance touchscreen. Navigation is intuitive via the touch interface.
4.1 All Systems Diagnostics
The TS710 can perform in-depth full control module scans in seconds across various truck systems. This includes reading/clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), viewing live data streams, and retrieving ECU information.
Supported systems include, but are not limited to:
- Engine System
- SRS System
- Retarder System
- Transmission System
- CAB Climate System
- Unit Pump System
- Electronical Control System
- Tail Gas After-treatment System

4.2 DPF Functions
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is an exhaust aftertreatment device that traps particulate matter. The TS710 provides comprehensive DPF functions to manage and maintain your vehicle's DPF system.
The TS710 supports:
- Active (Auto) Regeneration
- Passive Regeneration
- DPF related information reset
- DPR state reset
- Forced DPR regeneration
- Differential pressure test
- DPD forced regeneration
Understanding DPF Regeneration:
- Passive Regen: Occurs naturally during long drives at high speeds (20-30 minutes at 70mph or above), where exhaust temperatures are high enough to burn off soot particles.
- Active Regen: Initiated by the vehicle's ECU when soot levels reach a certain threshold (e.g., 45% of DPF capacity). This involves post-combustion fuel injection to increase exhaust temperature and burn off soot.
- Duration: A DPF regeneration cycle typically takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete.
4.3 Bi-directional Control / Active Test
The bi-directional control feature allows the TS710 to send commands to vehicle systems and components to test their operational status, helping to precisely locate issues.
Examples of active tests include:
- Aftertreatment Test
- Injector Test
- Fuel Pump Test
- Cylinder Test (cut-out, compression)
- Engine State Monitor
- A/C Compressor Test
- Heated Oxygen Sensor Test
- Fuel System Leakage Test
- Intake Air Heater Override
- VGT Test
- SCR Commands
- Aftertreatment Reset
