Operating Instructions
The OBDEMOTO 101 features a simple interface with a power switch, sensitivity settings, and an LED lighting switch. The device uses LED indicators and an audible buzzer to communicate detection status.
General Operation
- Power On/Off: Use the main switch (O: Turn off, I: Low Sensitivity Test, II: High Sensitivity Test) to power on the device and select the desired sensitivity.
- LED Light: Press the LED lighting switch to activate the built-in flashlight for improved visibility in dark areas.
- Testing: Position the testing sensor near the component to be diagnosed. The device will provide visual (flashing LEDs) and audible (beeping) feedback if a magnetic field is detected.

Specific Component Testing
The OBDEMOTO 101 can test a variety of components by detecting their electromagnetic fields. The presence of a flashing indicator and continuous beeping signifies normal operation.
- Ignition Coil Test: Place the sensor near the ignition coil. If the coil is working, the indicator lights will flash, and the buzzer will sound continuously. If no activity, the coil may be damaged or not working.
- Fuel Injector Test: Position the sensor near the fuel injector. Adjust the angle until a reaction (flashing lights, beeping) is observed, indicating proper function.
- Generator Test: Move the sensor near the alternator (generator). In a strong magnetic zone, both LED lights will flash, indicating the generator is working.
- Other Components: The tool can also be used to test fans, electric relays, emission gas control valves, and hall sensors by detecting their magnetic activity.

General Care
- Keep the device clean and free from dirt, oil, and moisture.
- Store the tester in a dry, cool place when not in use.
- Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts.
Troubleshooting
The OBDEMOTO 101 provides clear indications for diagnosing component status. Refer to the following for common scenarios:
| Symptom | Indication | Possible Cause / Action |
|---|---|---|
| Component working | LEDs flash, buzzer sounds continuously | Normal operation. |
| Component not working / damaged | LEDs do not light up, buzzer is silent | Component may be faulty or not receiving power. Check connections and component integrity. |
| No power to tester | No lights, no sound when powered on | Check and replace AAA batteries. Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity. |
