VEHICLE INFORMATION AND EQUIPMENT SELECTION

 

Answer some questions for you:

 

1. What is OBD (On-Board Diagnostic)? Is it reliable?

OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) is a system used in almost all cars nowadays. Since 1980, car-manufactures began using integrated circuits to control and diagnose troubles of engines. Many years, OBD system is used, it becomes a required standard in modern cars.

In 1995, there was a standard OBD-generation II (OBD-II).OBD-II can provide almost all information as engine, chassis, body, accessories as well as control information network in cars.

Diagnostic information will give the retail degree depending on each car.

The equipment that diagnoses troubles of engines connected to OBD-II, process data and display correct information about engine condition. Reliability of information of diagnostic equipment mainly depends on OBD-II system in that car.

 

2. How many faults can equipment is diagnostic?

Presently, ours equipment can diagnose 15000 normal faults in the car, consist: faults about engine, drive system, chassis, accessories and control information network in cars. The real number of faults will be up-dated according to the development of the OBD-II system in cars.

(Notice: by diagnostic equipment, but each kind of cars and the generation of cars has discovered different faults.)

 

3. Features

·         Read and clear trouble codes. Turn off the MIL ("Check Engine" light) after repairing

·         Display current sensor data, including:

1.       Engine RPM

2.       Calculated Load Value

3.       Coolant Temperature

4.       Fuel System Status

5.       Vehicle Speed

6.       Short Term Fuel Trim

7.       Long Term Fuel Trim

8.       Intake Manifold Pressure

9.       Timing Advance

10.   Intake Air Temperature

11.   Air Flow Rate

12.   Absolute Throttle Position

13.   Oxygen sensor voltages/associated short term fuel trims

14.   Fuel System status

15.   Fuel Pressure

16.   Many others...

 

4. Which kind of cars can be “tested”?

- Almost all small touring cars (from 02 to 16 seats) manufactured after 1996 from Euro, USA and ASIAN in recently.

1. If you want to know exactly, look at its label, on which there is symbol testifying ODB-II:

 

obd label

 

2. The car is equipped an OBD-II data connector (there is a line connecting to pins).

+ Mode PWM: connector has pins: 2, 4, 5, 10 and 16

+ Mode VPM: connector has pins: 2, 4, 5 and 16 but not 10

+ Mode ISO: connector has pins: 4, 5, 7 and 16. There is pin 15 or not

+ Mode CAN: connector has pins: 4, 5, 6, 14 and 16

 

 

3. Check your car if it is in diagnosed cars list in EU & USA and Asian Car list or not.

(Notice: the car is not in list, it does not mean your car cannot be diagnosed, it means your car has not been diagnosed)

 

5. Which diagnostic equipment can I choose?

We now have two types of production with two different using purposes:

- First type for private car user, equipment for technical training or small garage in Asian: Select mode of: ISO, PWM, or VPW.

Note: ISO mode: (Used for almost the entire car, this manufactured in the Asian) 

-Second type for machine factories: Mode: AUTO protocol ((Used for almost the entire car is OBD-II compliant, this manufactured in the world)

- Wireless type is only a selection for save money and more conveniences.

6. Where is OBD-II connector in the Cars?

The connector to diagnostic equipment has D16 pins form (some cars has different types). The situation of the connector is around driver’s seat on the right seat or under steering wheel.

 

   

 

7. How can you do “THE TEST”?

- Turn off the main electrical key in the car.

- Connect data cable from electronic box to the car

- Turn on the main electrical key (can start up engine).

- Waiting for about 5 seconds

- Connect data cable from electronic box to the computer (as the picture on home pages)

- Start up the computer and DTD-Code software.*

- Do the next operation according to the instruction on screen.

- Observe the light displayed on the electric box and the car.

- Read information about diagnosing faults and sensor condition of your car.

- Turn off the main electricity lock and the computer when you remove data cables.

- Scantool keeping is dry places.
