Autel MK908P MK908: Most Detailed Vehicle Identification Tutorial?

 YES! Right here in Cardiagtool Tech Support Official Blog.

This article will share the most specific steps of Autel MK908P/MK908 in vehicle identification. There are actually four methods introduced here, so this article will be divided into four main parts as shown below:

1. Auto VIN Scan
2. Manual VIN Input
3. Manual Vehicle Selection
4. OBD Direct Entry

Part 1.Auto VIN Scan

The MaxiCOM diagnostic system features the latest VIN-based Auto VIN Scan function to identify CAN vehicles in just one touch, which allows the technician to quickly detect vehicles, scan all the diagnosable ECUs on every vehicle and run diagnostics on the selected system.

What’s the main steps of performing Auto VIN Scan?

1. Tap the Diagnostics application button from the MaxiCOM Job Menu. The Vehicle Menu displays.
2. Tap the VIN Scan button on the top toolbar.
3. Select Auto Detect. The tester starts VIN scanning on the vehicle’s ECU. Once the test vehicle is successfully identified, the system will guide you to the Vehicle Diagnostics screen directly.

In some cases when users have selected the vehicle brand instead of performing Auto VIN Scan in the first place, the system still provides an option for vehicle VIN scan.

Select Automatic Selection and the system will proceed to acquire VIN information automatically or allow users to input the VIN manually.

Part 2.Manual VIN Input

For some vehicles that do not support the Auto VIN Scan function, the

MaxiCOM diagnostic system allows you to enter the vehicle VIN manually, or

simply take a photo of the VIN sticker for quick vehicle identification.

What’s the main steps of performing Manual VIN Input?

1. Tap the Diagnostics application button from the MaxiCOM Job

Menu. The Vehicle Menu displays (Figure 4-2).

2. Tap the VIN Scan button on the top toolbar.
3. Select Manual Input.
4. Tap the input box and enter the correct VIN.

5. Tap Done. The vehicle will be identified in a few seconds, and once the matching is successful, the system will guide you to the Vehicle diagnostics screen directly.
6. Tap Cancel to exit Manual Input.

Part 3.Manual Vehicle Selection

When the vehicle’s VIN is not automatically retrievable through the vehicle's ECU, or the specific VIN is unknown, you can choose to select the vehicle manually.32

Step-by-step Vehicle Selection

This mode of vehicle selection is menu driven; you simply follow the screen prompts and make a series of choices. Each selection you make advances you to the next screen. A Back button at the lower right corner of the screen returns you to the previous screen. Exact procedures may vary somewhat by various vehicles being serviced.

Part 4.Alternative Vehicle Identification

Occasionally, you may identify a test vehicle that the tester does not recognize; the database does not support, or has some unique characteristics that prevent it from communicating with the tester through the normal channels. In these instances, you are provided with the OBD direct entry, through which you can perform generic OBD II or EOBD tests.

(Solution Achieved!) Autel MK908P Tablet “No Communication Message”

 Autel MaciCom MK908P, combined with the best possible coverage of OE-level diagnostics, and based on the revolutionary multitask-capable Android Operating system, the MaxiCOM organizes information with test instrumentation to help you diagnose symptoms, codes, and customer complaints easily, quickly and efficiently.

In recent customers’ feedback from Customer Service of Cardiagtool, two kinds of “No Communication Message” situation with Autel MaciCom MK908P diagnostic tool that customers may encounter after purchasing it.

I feel so pleased to get the official solution from Tech Support Engineer, and am ready to share the solution with you guys in the following content.

 

Part A. If the MaxiCOM Display Tablet is not connected to the VCI device, an “Error” message displays. An “Error” message indicates the display tablet is not communicating with the VCI device, and so cannot gain access to the vehicle control module. In this case, you need to do the following check-ups:

• Check if the VCI device is powered on.
• In case of wireless connection, check if the network is configured correctly, or if the right device has been paired.
• If during the diagnosis process, the communication is suddenly interrupted due to the loss of signal, check if there is any object that causes signal interruption.
• Check if the VCI device is properly positioned. It is recommended to put the VCI device with the front side up.
• Try standing closer to the VCI device to obtain more stable signals, and faster communication speed.
• In case of wired connection, check the cable connection between the display tablet and the VCI device.
• Check if the Error LED on the VCI device is on, this may indicate there is a communication error between the devices, in this case try re-establishing the connection again; if this does not work, there may be a hardware problem with the device, in this case contact for technical support

What about the other situation?

Part B. If the VCI device is unable to establish a communication link, a prompt message displays with check instructions. The following conditions are the possible causes for this massage to display:

• The VCI device is unable to establish a communication link with the vehicle.
• You’ve selected a system for testing that the vehicle is not equipped with.
• There is a loose connection.
• There is a blown vehicle fuse.
• There is a wiring fault on the vehicle, or the data cable or adapter.
• There is a circuit fault in the data cable or adapter.

All right then, good luck to you guys!
