3. Operating Instructions

3.1 ANCEL AD610 PRO OBD2 Scanner Functions

• ABS Diagnosis & Reset: This function identifies and resolves issues within the Anti-lock Braking System, such as sensor faults, wiring problems, or pump failures. It ensures proper system operation and clears warning lights.
• SRS Diagnosis & Reset: Used to detect and clear errors in the Supplemental Restraint System (airbag system), including ECU issues, sensor failures, or connection problems. It restores full safety performance and clears warning lights.
• ABS Bleeding: Guides the user through the process of bleeding the ABS system to maintain correct brake pressure and enhance braking performance. This typically involves repairing/replacing ABS components, replenishing/changing brake fluid, and addressing spongy brake pedals.
• Full OBD2 Functions: Access standard OBD2 diagnostic capabilities including:
  • Live Data: View real-time sensor data from the vehicle.
  • On-Board Monitor Test: Check the status of various emission-related components.
  • I/M Readiness: Determine if the vehicle is ready for an emissions inspection.
  • Read Codes: Retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
  • Clear Codes: Erase DTCs and turn off the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
  • Freeze Frame: View a snapshot of vehicle conditions when a fault code was set.
  • EVAP Test: Test the evaporative emission control system.
  • DTC Library: Look up definitions for diagnostic trouble codes.
  • Vehicle Info: Retrieve vehicle identification information.
  • Component Test: Perform tests on specific vehicle components.
• ABS SRS Bidirectional Control & Active Test: Enables direct interaction with the vehicle's ABS/SRS systems for advanced diagnostics and testing. This includes functions like Auto Bleed Test, ABS Manual Control Test, Actuator Test, ABS Motor Test, ABS Version Test, and Setup SDM Serial Number.
