This section illustrates how to use the scanner to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, view live data readings and ECU information on controllers installed, perform special functions such as actuation and coding, and perform vehicle services and maintenance on Asia, European and USA vehicle brands.
5.1 Control Module Selection
When you completed the identification of vehicle, you have to identify the control modules installed in the vehicle. There are two ways to identify the controllers installed in a car:
Quick Scan Control Modules

5.2.2 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 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 engine 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:
34
Next Generation Diagnostic Platform i70 User's Manual V1.01

EPB systems must be deactivated before carrying out any maintenance/service work on the brakes such as changing of pads, discs and calipers.
Use proper tools to avoid the risk of body injuries of mechanics and technicians and damage to the brake system.
Make sure the vehicle is properly blocked after deactivation of the systems.
6.3 Battery Replacement (BRT)
BRT menu lets you to have new battery validated, clear faults from the dashboard and display current battery details of the vehicle such as Audi, BMW, Citroen, Peugeot, Seat, Skoda, Volvo, VW and Ford.

6.4 Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration
DPF Regeneration menu lets 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 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 lets 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.
45
Next Generation Diagnostic Platform i70 User's Manual V1.01
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 save 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 Odometer
This function allows you to revise the date of odometer and write the original date into new odometer.
6.11 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 of each cylinder must be confirmed or re-coded so that the cylinder can better identify injectors to accurately control fuel injection.
6.12 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
46
Next Generation Diagnostic Platform i70 User's Manual V1.01
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.
6.13 Key Programming/Immobilizer
The transponder key is an aftermarket option that can be programmed for a number of vehicles. Also known as a chip key or ignition key, this key offers a level of convenience and security for your car. If your car is equipped with a chip key system, only a programmed key can turn on the ignition in your vehicle.
