There are numerous procedures, techniques, tools, and parts required for servicing vehicles, as well as the skills of the person doing the work. Because of the vast number of test applications and variations in the products that can be tested with this equipment, we cannot possibly anticipate or provide advice or safety messages to cover every circumstance. It is the automotive technician's responsibility to be knowledgeable of the system being tested. It is crucial to use proper service methods and test procedures. It is essential to perform tests in an appropriate and acceptable manner that does not endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work area, the device being used, or the vehicle being tested. Before using the device, always refer to and follow the safety messages and applicable test procedures provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or equipment being tested. Use the device only as described in this manual. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all safety messages and instructions in this manual. Safety Messages Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the hazard level. DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders. Safety Instructions The safety messages herein cover situations Autel is aware of at the time of publication. Autel cannot know, evaluate or advise you as to all of the possible hazards. You must be certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not jeopardize your personal safety. ii DANGER When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system. Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life. It is not advised to use headphones at a high volume Listening at high volumes for long periods of time may result in loss of hearing. Safety Warnings Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment. Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards. Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts. Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area, for exhaust gases are poisonous. Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged. Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while testing. Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running. Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical fires nearby. Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running. Keep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment as necessary. Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time. Any distraction may cause an accident. Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the test equipment. To avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data, make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC is clean and secure. Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle. Strong electromagnetic interference can damage the equipment. iii 1 MaxiFlash LVCI -- Vehicle Communication Interface 1.1 Function Description Figure 2-4 MaxiFlash LVCI Views 1. DC Power Supply Input Port 2. Vehicle Data Connector (DB15-Pin) 3. Vehicle LED -- flashes green when communicating with vehicle system. 7 4. Connection LED -- lights solid green when connected to the tablet via USB cable; lights solid blue when connected to the tablet via Bluetooth connection. 5. Power LED -- refer to Table 2-3 Power LED Description for details. 6. USB Port Table 2-3 Power LED Description LED Power Color Yellow Green Red Description Lights yellow automatically at power-up when VCI is selftesting. Lights solid green when powered on. Lights solid red when a system failure occurs. Flashes red when VCI is upgrading. IMPORTANT Do not disconnect the programming device while the vehicle LED is on. If the flash programming procedure is interrupted while the vehicle's ECU is blank or only partially programmed, the module may be unrecoverable. 1.1.1 Programming Capability The MaxiFlash LVCI (namely VCI device) is an SAE J2534 & RP1210 compliant PassThru programming interface device. Using the updated OEM software, it is capable of replacing the existing software/firmware in the Electronic Control Units (ECU), programming new ECUs and fixing software-controlled drivability issues and emission issues. 1.1.2 Communication Capability The MaxiFlash LVCI supports Bluetooth (BT) and USB cable communications. It can transmit vehicle data to the tablet with or without a cable connection. In open areas, the working range of the transmitter through Bluetooth communication is up to 328 feet (about 100 m). If the signal is lost due to being taken out of range, communication will be restored once the tablet is within range. 1.2 Power Sources The VCI device can receive power from the following sources: Vehicle Power AC/DC Power Supply 8 2.2.2.1 Vehicle Power The VCI device operates on 12/24 V vehicle power, which receives power via the vehicle data connection port. The device powers on whenever it is connected to an OBD II/EOBD compliant Data Link Connector (DLC). For non-OBDII/EOBD compliant vehicles, the device can be powered from an auxiliary power outlet adapter or other suitable power port on the test vehicle using the auxiliary power cable. 2.2.2.2 AC/DC Power Supply The VCI device can be powered from a wall socket using the AC/DC power adapter. 1.3 Technical Specifications Table 2-4 MaxiFlash LVCI Specifications Item Description Communications Wireless Frequency BT 4.2 + EDR USB 2.0 2.4 GHz Input Voltage Range 9 V DC to 28 V DC Supply Current 110 mA @12 V DC 90 mA @ 24 V DC Operating Temp. 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F) Storage Temp.
