Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Incorrect connection; vehicle ignition off; faulty diagnostic port. | Ensure the scanner is securely connected to the vehicle's diagnostic port. Turn the vehicle ignition to the "ON" position. Verify the diagnostic port is functional. |
| "Communication Error" message. | Incorrect protocol selected; loose connection; vehicle not supported. | Check the connection to the vehicle's diagnostic port. Ensure the correct protocol (HD OBD or OBDII) is selected for your vehicle type. Verify your vehicle is compatible with the supported protocols (SAE J1939, J1587/J1708, ISO15765, etc.). |
| Cannot read specific codes or systems. | Vehicle system not supported; software outdated. | Confirm that the specific system or function is supported by the HD10 for your vehicle model. Check for available software updates from OBDResource. |
