4.2 Vehicle Diagnostics

This function is designed to diagnose electronic control systems of a single vehicle model, providing comprehensive full-system code coverage and special test functions.

4.2.1 Smart Diagnostics (Auto-Detect)

This function quickly accesses vehicle electronic control systems by decoding the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), eliminating manual menu selection. Ensure "Automatic detection on connect" is ON in Settings. After connection and ignition ON, the system enters auto-detect mode.

1. Once VIN information is successfully obtained, confirm it and tap OK to start diagnosing all available systems. A diagnostic report will be automatically generated.
2. If VIN access fails, a screen will appear for manual VIN input. Input the VIN and tap OK.

Note: The VIN is usually a 17-character string of uppercase letters and numbers (excluding Q, I, O) found on the dashboard, driver's door, or firewall.

4.2.2 Manual Diagnostics

If Auto-Detect fails, you can perform vehicle diagnosis manually. Ensure the corresponding vehicle manufacturer software is installed. The diagnostic menu varies by vehicle make, model, and year.

Slijedite ove opće korake:

1. Odaberite Lokalna dijagnoza.
2. Odaberite Proizvođač vozila.
3. Odaberite Model vozila.
4. Odaberite Režim skeniranja (Automatic System Detection or Manual System Detection).
5. Odaberite Test Funkcija (e.g., Read Version Information, Read Fault Code, Clear Fault Code, Read Data Stream, Special Function).

4.2.3 Zdravstveni izvještaj (brzi test)

This function quickly accesses all electronic control units and generates a detailed report on vehicle health. Tap Health Report on the test item selection screen to scan ECUs. Fault codes are marked with a red cross, and working systems with a green tick.

• Obriši kod: Clears existing diagnostic trouble codes.

4.2.4 Read Fault Code (DTCs)

Displays detailed information of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) retrieved from the vehicle's control system. DTCs are five-digit alphanumeric codes indicating a problem area. The first character identifies the main system (B=Body, C=Chassis, P=Powertrain, U=Network), the second indicates code type (0=Generic, 1=Manufacturer Specific), the third identifies the specific system/sub-system, and the fourth/fifth identify the malfunctioning section.

• Pomoć: View DTC help information.
• Pretraživanje koda: Traži more information about the current DTC online.
• Izvještaj: Save current data in text format.

Note: Never replace parts based solely on DTCs. Consult the vehicle's service manual for proper testing procedures.

4.2.5 Brisanje koda greške

Erases codes from the vehicle after repairs. Ensure the ignition key is ON and the engine is OFF before performing this function. Clearing DTCs does not fix underlying problems; if repairs are not made, codes will reappear.
