| Auto Mode 2 Test | AUTO MODE 1 and mini-opening time. | |
| Ultrasonic Test | Clean the carbon deposits inside the fuel injector through ultrasonic. | |
| On-Vehicle Clean | Cleaning the engine with supply pipeline injector and combustion chamber with the pipeline does not require disassembly. | |
| System | Set the language and unit of the device operating system, query device information and restore device factory settings. | |
| Database | Querying the working pressure of various vehicle models' fuel systems. | |
| Help | Querying device fault code information. |
General Operation Steps:
- Turn on the power switch (6).
- Use the direction keys on the operating panel (10) to select the desired test or cleaning function.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to set parameters such as pulse width, RPM range, and voltage.
- Press the ENTER key to start the selected function.
