A fast-access option for OBD II/EOBD vehicle diagnosis is available on the58 Vehicle Menu screen. This option presents 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 a number of other services that are emissions-related.

Next, let’s get access to the real content of the tech article.

The OBD direct access option is also used for testing OBD II/EOBD compliant vehicles

that are not included in the Diagnostics database. Functions of the diagnostics toolbar buttons at the top the screen are the same as those available for specific vehicle diagnostics.

Let’s get started with the general procedure of OBDII Operations:

First question: how to access the OBD II/EOBD diagnostics functions?

This is the meaningful step that every customer should be familiar with. Specific steps are provided below:

1. Tap the Diagnostics application button from the MaxiCOM Job Menu. The Vehicle Menu displays.
2. Tap the EOBD button. There are two options to establish communication with the vehicle.

(a)Auto Scan – when this option is selected the diagnostic tool attempts to establish communication using each protocol in order to determine which one the vehicle is broadcasting on.

(b)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.

3. Select a specific protocol if the Protocol option is selected. Wait forthe OBD II Diagnostic Menu to appear.

4. Select a function option to continue.

(a)DTC & FFD

(b)I/M Readiness

(c)Live Data

(d)O2 Sensor Monitor

(e)On-Board Monitor

(f)Component Test

(g)Vehicle Information

Important information: Some functions are supported only on certain vehicle makes.

Then, let’s go with the “Function Description” of the OBDII Operation:

This section describes the various functions of each diagnostic option:

1.DTC & FFD

When this function is selected, the screen displays a list of Stored Codes and Pending Codes. When the Freeze Frame data of certain DTCs are 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 functional button at the lower bottom of the screen.

2.Stored Codes

Stored codes are the current emission related DTCs from the ECM of the vehicle. OBD II/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission severity, with higher priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. The priority of the code determines the illumination of the MIL and the codes erase procedure. Manufacturers rank codes differently, so expect to see differences between makes.

3.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. The intended use of this service is to assist the service technician after a vehicle repair and after clearing diagnostic information, by reporting test results after a single driving cycle.

(a)If a test failed during the driving cycle, the DTC associated with that test is reported. If the pending fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault is automatically cleared from memory.

(b)b) Test results reported by this service do not necessarily indicate a faulty component or system. If test results indicate another failureafter additional driving, then a DTC is set to indicate a faulty component or system, and the MIL is illuminated.

4.Freeze Frame

In most cases the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. Certain DTCs, those that have a greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher priority. In these cases, the highest priority 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.

5.Erase Codes

This option is used to clear all emission related diagnostic data such as, DTCs, freeze frame data and manufacturer specific enhanced data from the vehicle’s ECM, and resets the I/M Readiness Monitor Status for all vehicle monitors to Not Ready or Not Complete status. A confirmation screen displays when the clear codes option is selected to prevent accidental loss of data. Select Yes on the confirmation screen to continue, or No to exit.

6.I/M Readiness

This function is used to check the readiness of the monitoring system. It is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to a state emissions program. Selecting I/M Readiness opens a submenu with two choices:

(a)Since DTCs Cleared–displays the status of monitors since the last time the DTCs are erased.

(b)This Driving Cycle–displays the status of monitors since the beginning of the current drive cycle.

7.Live Data

This function displays the real time PID data from ECU. Displayed data includes analog inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information broadcast on the vehicle data stream.

8.O2 Sensor Monitor

This option allows retrieval and viewing of O2 sensor monitor test results for the most recently performed tests from the vehicle’s on-board computer. The O2 Sensor Monitor test function is not supported by vehicles which communicate using a controller area network (CAN).

9.On-Board Monitor

This option allows you to view the results of On-Board Monitor tests. The tests are useful after servicing or after erasing a vehicle’s control module memory.

10.Component Test

This service enables bi-directional control of the ECM so that the diagnostic tool is able to transmit control commands to operate the vehicle systems. This function is useful in determining how well the ECM responds to a command.

11.Vehicle Information

The option displays the vehicle identification number (VIN), the calibration identification, and the calibration verification number (CVN), and other information of the test vehicle.

12.Vehicle Status

This item is used to check 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 may be displayed.

Kindly notice: this product is open on-sale only for registered VIP members of Cardiagtool.co.uk!!!

Come to the Home screen, go to “System Selection” option (PS: This option allows you manually select the test system and function step by step.)

tap “System Selection”, the screen displays as follows:

Swipe the screen from the bottom to view the vehicle system on the next page.

Tap the desired system (take “ECM” for example) to jump to the test function page. (PS: Different vehicle has different diagnostic menus.)

In the following content, the manual vehicle diagnosis tutorial will be explained from four main parts:

A.Version Information

This function is used to read the version information of system mode,

vehicle VIN, software and ECU.

Tap “Version Information”, the screen displays as follows:

Tap “OK” to confirm and exit.

B.Read Fault Code

This function displays the detailed information of DTC records retrieved from the vehicle’s control system.

Tap “Read Fault Code”, the screen will display the diagnostic result.

Important Message:

Retrieving and using DTCs for troubleshooting vehicle operation is only one part of an overall diagnostic strategy. Never replace a part based only on the DTC definition. Each DTC has a set of testing procedures, instructions and flow charts that must be followed to confirm the location of the problem. This information can be found in the vehicle’s service manual.

Next, let’s see how the on-screen buttons in manual diagnosis works?

Freeze Frame: When an emission-related fault occurs, certain vehicle conditions are recorded by the on-board computer. This information is referred to as freeze frame data. Freeze frame data includes a snapshot of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is set.

Help: Tap to view the help information.

Code Search: Tap it to search for more information about the current DTC online.

Report: To save the current data in text format. All diagnostic reports can be accessed from “User Info” -> “My Reports” -> “Diagnostic Report”.

C.Clear Fault Code

After reading the retrieved codes from the vehicle and certain repairs have been carried out, you can use this function to erase the codes from the vehicle. Before performing this function, please be sure the vehicle’s ignition key is in the ON position with the engine off.

Clearing DTCs does not fix the problem(s) that caused the code(s) to be set. If proper repairs to correct the problem that caused the code(s) to be set are not made, the code(s) will appear again and the check engine light will illuminate as soon as the problem that cause the DTC to set manifests itself.

When you tap “Clear Fault Code” under the “Show Menu” interface, a confirmation dialog box pops up on the screen. Tap “Yes” and the system will automatically delete the currently existing trouble code.

Important Message:

After clearing, you should retrieve trouble codes once more or turn ignition on and retrieve codes again. If there are still some trouble codes in the system, please troubleshoot the code using a factory diagnosis guide, then clear the code and recheck.

D.Read Data Stream

This option lets you view and capture (record) real-time Live Data. This data including current operating status for parameters and/or sensor information can provide insight on overall vehicle performance. It can also be used to guide vehicle repair.

Important Message:

If you must drive the vehicle in order to perform a troubleshooting procedure, ALWAYS have a second person help you. Trying to drive and operate the diagnostic tool at the same time is dangerous, and could cause a serious traffic accident.

When you tap “Read Data Stream” under the “Show Menu” interface, the system will display data stream items.

Again, get to know the instruction of On-screen Buttons:

Select All: Tap it to select all items of the current page. To select certain data stream item, just check the box before the item name.

Unselect: Tap it to deselect all data stream items.

OK: Tap it to confirm and jump to the next step.

After selecting the desired items, tap “OK” to enter the data stream reading page.

Important Message:

1. If the value of the data stream item is out of the range of the standard (reference) value, the whole line will display in red. If it complies with the reference value, it displays in blue (normal mode).
2. The indicator 1/X shown on the bottom of the screen stands for the current page/total page number. Swipe the screen from the right/left to advance/return to the next/previous page.

There are 3 types of display modes available for data viewing, allowing you to view various types of parameters in the most suitable way.

• Value – this is the default mode which displays the parameters in

texts and shows in list format.

• Graph – displays the parameters in waveform graphs.
• Combine – this option is mostly used in graph merge status for data

comparison. In this case, different items are marked in different

colors.

Once again, get to know the instruction of On-screen Buttons:

Graph: Tap it to view the waveform.

Combine: This option is mostly used in graph merge status for

data comparison.
