NOTE Not all function options listed above are applicable to all vehicles. Available options may vary by the year, model, and make of the test vehicle.
5.2.1 Read Codes
Read Codes menu lets you read trouble codes found in the control unit. There are 4 types of code status: Present/Permanent/Current Pending History Self-diagnostic
Present/Permanent/Current codes stored in a control module are used to help identify the cause of a trouble or troubles with a vehicle. These codes have occurred a specific number of times and indicate a problem that requires repair. Pending codes are also referred to as maturing codes that indicate intermittent faults. If the fault does not occur within a certain number of drive cycles (depending on vehicle), the code clears from memory. If a fault occurs
36 Automotive Diagnostic Platform GT75 User's Manual V1.01

a specific number of times, the code matures into a DTC and the MIL illuminates or blinks. History codes are also referred to as past codes that indicate intermittent DTCs that are not currently active. Code history is number of engines starts since DTC(s) were first detected (to see if they are current or intermittent). Self-diagnostic lets you manually activate system tests that check for DTCs. Usually it includes a KOEO (Key-on, engine-off) test and a KOER (key-on, engine-running) test. To read codes from a vehicle: 1. Press Read Codes from Select Diagnostic Function menu. A code list
including code number and its description displays. The red icon means there is help information available for the code. The green icon means there is freeze frame available.

5.2.4 Active Tests
Active Tests, also known as Actuator Tests, are bi-directional diagnostic tests on vehicle systems and component. The tests let you to use the scanner temporarily activate or control a vehicle system or component, and when you exit the test, the system/component returns to normal operation. Some tests display a command to the operator. For example, if "Press Brake Pedal" displays, the operator has to press and hold the brake pedal and then continue. The sequence, number and type of tests are dictated by the control module. On some systems, the actuator tests cannot be restarted until the ignition key is switched off for some time. Alternatively, briefly start and run the engine, shut down, turn the ignition to the run position, then re-initiate the actuator tests.
IMPORTANT The tests activate a component, but they do not check if the component is working correctly. Make sure the components to be tested are in good condition and correctly mounted.
NOTE Available tests depend on the control module under test and the vehicle itself.
To start a test: 1. Press Active Test from the menu and a list of available options displays.

Battery Configuration DPF Regeneration TPS/TBA SAS Calibration CVT Gear Learn TPMS Programming Service Injector coding ABS Bleeding
6.1 Oil Light Reset
Oil Light Reset menu allows you to reset the service lamps on the instrument cluster. The Service Indicator System is designed to alert the driver when the vehicle is due for a service.
Oil service reset methods are determined by the vehicle being tested. Depending on the vehicle being tested, any of the following means displays:
Oil Reset with One Button - applicable to GM models only. It offers quick and simple oil service reset with the click of one button.
Manual Reset - almost all Asian vehicles and most American and European vehicles have mechanical oil service indicator reset. The service tool does not have to communicate with the vehicle being tested, but guides you to complete the service manually by providing step-by-step on-screen instructions. When Manual Reset is selected and the vehicle being tested identified, a procedure opens on the screen. Scroll with arrow keys to read the entire procedure and performing the necessary steps as directed by the on-screen instructions. The exact order of the test operation steps may vary depending on the test vehicle. Be sure to follow all on-screen instructions. The manual reset procedure can be interrupted and aborted if the ignition key position is changed.
Auto Reset - Auto Reset is a bi-directional communication procedure directed by the service tool. The service tool displays guides for you through the process.

6.4 Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration
DPF Regeneration menu let you perform the DPF cleaning to clear the blockage through continuous burning of the particulates captured in the DPF filter. When a DPF regeneration cycle is completed, the DPF light automatically goes off.
6.5 Throttle Body Alignment (TPS/TBA)
It's very common to see a customer pull into the shop with a Volkswagen or Audi that just will not idle correctly. One of the possible causes is that the throttle position is not known. When the motion range is not known, the ECU
50 Automotive Diagnostic Platform GT75 User's Manual V1.01

simply has no idea where to set the throttle. The ECU must know the full range of motion of the throttle in order for it to properly control the engine. Using the throttle position sensors in the throttle body, the ECU learns the full open and full closed positions through various states (idle, part throttle, WOT) known as a Throttle Body Alignment (TBA).
6.6 Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration
SAS Calibration menu let you perform calibration of the Steering Angle Sensor, which permanently stores the current steering wheel position as straight-ahead in the sensor EEPROM. On successful calibration of the sensor, its fault memory is automatically cleared.
6.7 Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT)
This function is used to reset the compensation code and initialize the ECT after a solenoid valve or valve body assembly has been replaced.
6.8 Gear Learning
The crankshaft position sensor learns crankshaft tooth machining tolerance and saves to the computer to more accurately diagnose engine misfires. If tooth learning is not performed for a car equipped with Delphi engine, the MIL turns on after the engine is started. The diagnostic device detects the DTC P 1336 'tooth not learned'. In this case, you must the diagnostic device to perform tooth learning for the car. After tooth learning is successful, the MIL turns off. After the engine ECU, crankshaft position sensor, or crankshaft flywheel is replaced, or the DTC 'tooth not learned' is present, tooth learning must be performed.
6.9 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Programming
TPMS Service menu allows you to check the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle ECU and to perform TPMS programming and reset after tires and/or TPM sensors are replaced and/or tires are rotated.
6.10 Injector Coding
Write injector actual code or rewrite code in the ECU to the injector code of the corresponding cylinder so as to more accurately control or correct cylinder injection quantity. After the ECU or injector is replaced, injector code
51 Automotive Diagnostic Platform GT75 User's Manual V1.01

of each cylinder must be confirmed or re-coded so that the cylinder can better identify injectors to accurately control fuel injection.
6.11 ABS Bleeding
Anytime the brake system is opened to replace components such as calipers, wheel cylinders, the master cylinder, or brake lines or hoses, air gets inside. The air has to be removed by bleeding the brakes if you want a firm brake pedal. Air trapped in the lines, calipers or wheel cylinders will make the pedal feel soft and spongy. Air is compressible, so when the brakes are applied any air bubbles in the system must first be compressed before the hydraulic fluid will transmit pressure to apply the brakes.
