Operating Instructions

1. Full System Diagnostics

The CRP919X provides OE-level full system diagnostics, allowing you to scan all available electronic control units (ECUs) in the vehicle. This includes systems such as Engine, ABS, Airbag, Transmission, TPMS, and more. The tool can read and clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), display live data streams, and access ECU information.

• Auto VIN Scan: This feature automatically identifies the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) for quick and accurate vehicle identification. For older models without Auto VIN capability, manual selection is available.
• Read Codes: Retrieve current, pending, and permanent diagnostic trouble codes.
• Clear Codes: Erase DTCs from the vehicle's memory after repairs are completed.
• Live Data Stream: View real-time data parameters from various sensors and components. The 8-in-1 graphing feature allows for simultaneous display of multiple data streams for detailed analysis.

2. ECU Coding

The CRP919X supports advanced ECU coding, a feature typically found in professional OEM scanners. This allows for customization and modification of pre-programmed options within the vehicle's ECUs. Functions include:

• Uncovering Hidden Features: Activate features not enabled at the factory.
• Disabling Unwanted Functions: Turn off features like seatbelt reminder chimes or daytime running lights.
• Coding Retrofitted Components: Integrate new components into the vehicle's system.
• Variant Coding (Offline Programming): Program specific variants or options in ECUs.
• Adaptive Data Resets: Reset learned values for various components.
• Component Matching: Match new modules (e.g., ECM, TCM) to the vehicle.

Caution: Always back up the ECU data before performing any coding operations.

3. Bi-directional Control (Active Tests)

This function allows the scanner to send commands to vehicle ECUs to perform specific tests and verify component functionality. This significantly reduces diagnostic time by pinpointing faulty components without disassembly.

Common active tests include:

• Adaptive Headlamp Adjustment
• A/C Configuration
• Window Wipers operation
• Doors and Sunroof operation
• Mirrors and Interior Lights control
• Wheel Heating activation
• Horn Assessment
• ABS Pump Motor activation
• Modulating Throttle
• Injector Buzz Test
• Radiator Fan activation

• DoIP: Integrates with BMW (F&G chassis), Volvo (2018+), Land Rover, and Jaguar (2017+) models, enabling higher data rates via UDS over TCP/IP and Ethernet.
• FCA AutoAuth SGW: Provides access to FCA vehicles (Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, etc.) produced after 2017 for code clearance, bi-directional control, and special functions. Note: An AutoAuth account must be procured independently.

6. Extended Modules (Optional)

The CRP919X can be expanded with optional modules for enhanced diagnostic capabilities:

• Battery Tester (BST360): For efficient battery and electrical system health assessments.
• TPMS (X431 TSGUN): For sensor activation, programming, and relearning.

Note: These add-on tools (BST360/X431 TSGUN) are available for separate purchase.

7. Diagnostic Report Sharing & Printing

Upon completion of a scan, the CRP919X generates a comprehensive diagnostic report in PDF format. This report can be easily shared via email or printed, facilitating communication between mechanics and clients.
