Održavanje

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your THINKCAR Thinkdiag Mini, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• čišćenje: Obrišite uređaj mekom, suhom krpom. Ne koristite abrazivna sredstva za čišćenje ili rastvarače.
• Skladištenje: Uređaj čuvajte na hladnom i suhom mjestu, dalje od direktne sunčeve svjetlosti i ekstremnih temperatura.

Rješavanje problema

If you encounter issues while using your Thinkdiag Mini, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Uređaj se ne uključuje: Ensure the Thinkdiag Mini is securely plugged into the vehicle's OBDII port. Check the vehicle's ignition status; some vehicles require the ignition to be on for the OBDII port to be active.
• Problemi sa Bluetooth vezom:
  • Provjerite je li Bluetooth omogućen na vašem pametnom telefonu.
  • Restart the THINKDIAG app.
  • Zaboravite uređaj u Bluetooth postavkama telefona i ponovo ga uparite.
  • Ensure the Thinkdiag Mini is within Bluetooth range of your phone.
• Nema komunikacije s vozilom:
  • Verify the device is correctly plugged into the OBDII port.
  • Confirm your vehicle is OBDII compliant (most vehicles from 1996 onwards in the US).
  • Provjerite da li je paljenje vozila uključeno.
  • Ensure the correct vehicle software has been downloaded and selected in the app.
• Fault Code Persists After Clearing:

  If you clear a fault code without addressing the underlying issue, the code will reappear. The scanner clears the code from the vehicle's memory, but it cannot fix mechanical or electrical problems. It is crucial to repair the car first based on the diagnostic information, and then clear the fault code.

• App Freezing or Crashing:
  • Zatvorite i ponovo pokrenite aplikaciju.
  • Provjerite da li je operativni sistem vašeg pametnog telefona ažuriran.
  • Obrišite keš memoriju aplikacije (Android) ili ponovo instalirajte aplikaciju.
