5. Operation

5.1 Diagnostic Functions

The diagnostic functions allow you to read and clear fault codes, view live data, and retrieve vehicle information.

• All System Diagnostics: Select 'Diagnose' from the main menu. The device will automatically identify the vehicle via AutoVIN or allow manual selection. It will then scan all available systems (Engine, ABS, SRS, Transmission, etc.) for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
• Read Codes: Displays current, pending, and historic DTCs with descriptions.
• Clear Codes: Erases DTCs from the vehicle's control modules. Ensure all issues are resolved before clearing codes.
• Live Data: Displays real-time data streams from various sensors and components. Data can be viewed in text, graph, or gauge format.
• Freeze Frame Data: Captures a snapshot of vehicle conditions at the moment a DTC was set.
• ECU Information: Retrieves detailed information about the vehicle's Electronic Control Units.

5.2 Advanced Functions

These functions provide deeper control and customization capabilities.

• Bi-directional Control (Active Tests): Allows the user to send commands to the vehicle's ECUs to test specific components, such as turning on/off lights, operating windows, or cycling the ABS pump. This helps in pinpointing faulty components.
• ECU Coding: Used to re-flash control modules, customize vehicle settings, and match new components to the vehicle's system. This function requires advanced knowledge and should be performed with caution.
