When this function is selected, the screen displays the data list for the selected module. The items available for any control module vary from one vehicle to another. The parameters display in the order that they are transmitted by the ECM, so expect variation between vehicles.
6 EOBD
The OBD II/EOBD diagnosis is available for download through "Mall". This option provides a quick way to check for DTCs, isolate the cause of an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), check monitor status prior to emissions certification testing, verify repairs, and perform other emissions-related services. The OBD direct access option is also used for testing OBD II/EOBD compliant vehicles not included in the Diagnostics database.
General Procedure
To access the OBD II/EOBD diagnostics functions:
- Tap the "Diagnostics" button on the main home screen. Tap "No" button to start vehicle's EOBD diagnosis. There are two options to establish communication with the vehicle:
- Auto Scan: When this option is selected, the diagnostic tool attempts to establish communication using each protocol to determine which one the vehicle is broadcasting on.
- Protocol: When this option is selected, the screen opens a submenu of various protocols. A communication protocol is a standardized way of data communication between an ECM and a diagnostic tool. Global OBD may use several different communication protocols.
- Select a specific protocol under the "Protocol" option. Wait for the OBD II Diagnostic Menu to display.
- Select a function option to continue:
- DTC & FFD
- I/M Readiness
- Live Data
- On-Board Monitor
- Component Test
- Vehicle Information
- Vehicle Status
NOTE: Some functions are supported only on certain vehicle makes.
This section describes the various functions of each diagnostic option:
DTC & FFD
When this function is selected, the screen displays a list of Stored Codes and Pending Codes. When Freeze Frame data for certain DTCs is available for viewing, a snowflake button will display on the right side of the DTC item.
The erase codes function can be applied by tapping the "Clear DTC" button at the bottom of the screen.
- Stored Codes: Stored codes are the current emission-related DTCs from the vehicle's ECM. OBD II/EOBD Codes have a priority based on their emission severity, with higher priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. The code priority determines MIL illumination and the code erase procedure. Manufacturers rank codes differently, so expect variations between makes.
- Pending Codes: These are codes whose setting conditions were met during the last drive cycle but need to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before the DTC actually sets. This service assists service technicians after vehicle repair and clearing diagnostic information by reporting test results after a driving cycle.
- If a test failed during the driving cycle, the associated DTC is reported. If the pending fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault is automatically cleared from memory.
- Test results reported by this service do not necessarily indicate a faulty component or system. If test results indicate another failure after additional driving, then a DTC is set to indicate a faulty component or system, and the MIL is illuminated.
- Freeze Frame: In most cases, the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. Certain DTCs, which have a greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher priority. In these cases, the top prioritized DTC is the one for which the freeze frame records are retained. Freeze frame data includes a "snapshot" of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is set.
- Clear DTC: This option clears all emission-related diagnostic data, such as DTCs, freeze frame data, and manufacturer-specific enhanced data from the vehicle's ECM. A confirmation screen displays when the clear codes option is selected to prevent accidental data loss. Select "Yes" on the confirmation screen to continue or "No" to exit.
I/M Readiness
This function checks the readiness of the monitoring system, useful before a vehicle inspection for emissions compliance. Selecting "I/M Readiness" opens a submenu with two choices:
- Since DTCs Cleared: Displays the status of monitors since the last time DTCs were erased.
- This Driving Cycle: Displays the status of monitors since the beginning of the current drive cycle.
Live Data
This function displays real-time PID data from the ECU. Displayed data includes analog inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information broadcast on the vehicle data stream. Live data can be displayed in various modes.
On-Board Monitor
This option allows viewing the results of On-Board Monitor tests. These tests are useful after servicing or after erasing a vehicle's control module memory.
Component Test
This service enables bi-directional control of the ECM, allowing the diagnostic tool to transmit control commands to operate vehicle systems. This function helps determine if the ECM responds well to a command.
This option displays the vehicle identification number (VIN), calibration identification, calibration verification number (CVN), and other information of the test vehicle.
Vehicle Status
This item checks the current condition of the vehicle, including communication protocols of OBD II modules, retrieved codes amount, status of the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), and other additional information.
Exiting Diagnostics
The Diagnostics application remains open as long as there is active communication with the vehicle. Users must exit the diagnostics operation to stop all communications with the vehicle before closing the Diagnostics application.
NOTE: Damage to the vehicle electronic control module (ECM) may occur if communication is disrupted. Ensure the wireless connection is properly connected at all times during testing. Exit all tests before disconnecting the test connection or powering down the tool.
7 Service
The Service section is designed to provide quick access to vehicle systems for various scheduled service and maintenance performances. The typical service operation screen presents a series of menu-driven executive commands. By following on-screen instructions to select appropriate execution options, enter correct values or data, and perform necessary actions, the system guides users through the complete performance for various service operations.
The service functions will be listed on the Service section after purchase. Tap the corresponding service to select the vehicle makes needed for service operations.
The most commonly performed service functions in AP200H include:
- Oil Reset Service
- BMS Service
Oil Reset Service
This function allows users to perform a reset for the Engine Oil Life system, which calculates an optimal oil life change interval based on vehicle driving conditions and climate. The Oil Life Reminder must be reset every time the oil is changed so the system can calculate when the next oil change is required.
IMPORTANT: Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change.
NOTE: All required work must be carried out before the service indicators are reset. Failure to do so may result in incorrect service values and cause DTCs to be stored by the relevant control module.
Battery Management System (BMS) Service
The BMS (Battery Management System) allows the scan tool to evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register battery replacement, and activate the rest state of the vehicle.
NOTE:
- This function is not supported by all vehicles. The screens shown in this section are examples.
- The sub-functions and actual test screens of the BMS may vary for different test vehicles; follow on-screen instructions for correct option selection.
The vehicle may use either a sealed lead-acid battery or an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery. Lead-acid batteries contain liquid sulfuric acid and can spill when overturned. AGM batteries (known as VRLA battery, valve regulated lead acid) also contain sulfuric acid, but the acid is contained in glass mats between terminal plates.
It is recommended that replacement aftermarket batteries have the same specifications (capacity and type) as the battery used in the vehicle. If the original battery is replaced with a different type (e.g., a lead-acid battery replaced with an AGM battery) or a battery with a different capacity (mAh), the vehicle may require reprogramming the new battery type in addition to performing the battery reset. Consult the vehicle manual for additional vehicle-specific information.
Register Battery Replacement
This option displays the mileage reading of the last battery replacement, registers the battery replacement after installing a new battery, and informs the power management system that a new battery has been fitted to the vehicle.
If the battery change is not registered, the power management system will not function properly, which may not provide the battery with enough charging power to operate the car and may limit the functions of individual electrical equipment.
- The vehicle must have the correct spec engine oil.
- The oil for diesel must not be contaminated.
IMPORTANT: Before diagnosing a problem vehicle and attempting to perform an emergency regeneration, it is important to obtain a full diagnostic log and read out relevant measured value blocks.
NOTE:
- The DPF will not regenerate if the engine management light is on, or if there is a faulty EGR valve.
- The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping up the fuel additive Eolys.
- If the vehicle needs to be driven to perform a DPF service, ALWAYS have a second person help you. One person should drive the vehicle while the other person observes the screen on the Tool. Trying to drive and observe the Scan Tool at the same time is dangerous and could cause a serious traffic accident.
8 History
This function stores records of test vehicle history, including vehicle health state, vehicle information, and retrieved DTCs from previous diagnostic and service sessions. It displays all information in an easy-to-check table list, where users can view summarized details and manually input other information about the test vehicle and diagnostic testing performed. The "History" application also provides direct access to previously tested vehicles, allowing users to restart a diagnostic/service session without needing to re-identify the vehicle.
