The OBDII direct access option is also used for testing OBDII/EOBD-compliant vehicles that are not included in the Diagnostics database. Diagnostics toolbar buttons at the top of the screen are available for specific vehicle diagnostics. 9.11.1 General Procedure  To access the OBDII/EOBD diagnostics functions: 1. Tap the Diagnostics application button in the MaxiBAS Job Menu. The Vehicle Menu will display. 2. Tap the EOBD button. There are two options for establishing communication with the vehicle.  Auto Scan — select to establish communication using each protocol in order to determine which one the vehicle is using.

communications protocol is a standardized way of data communication between an ECM and a diagnostic tool. Global OBD may use several different communications protocols. 3. Select a specific protocol if the Protocol option is selected. Wait for the OBDII Diagnostics Menu to appear. 4. Select a function to continue. Supported functions may vary by vehicle.  DTC & FFD  I/M Readiness  Live Data  O2 Sensor Monitor  On-Board Monitor  Component Test  Vehicle Information  Vehicle Status Figure 9-16 Sample ODBII Diagnostics Menu 9.11.2 Function Descriptions This section describes the various functions of each diagnostic option: 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 function button at the bottom of the screen.

 Current Codes Current codes are emission-related DTCs from the ECU of the vehicle. OBDII/EOBD codes are prioritized according to their emissions severity, with higher-priority codes overwriting lower-priority ones. The priority of the code determines the illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and the codes erase procedure. Manufacturers rank codes differently, so expect the display to vary by vehicle.  Pending Codes These are codes whose storing conditions have been met during the last drive cycle, but need to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before the DTC is stored. The purpose of displaying pending codes is to assist the service technician after a vehicle repair when diagnostic information is cleared, by reporting test results after a single drive cycle. a) If a test fails during the drive cycle, the DTC associated will be reported. If the pending fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault is automatically cleared from memory. b) Test results reported do not necessarily indicate a faulty component or system. If test results indicate another failure after additional driving, a DTC is stored to indicate a faulty component or system.  Freeze Frame In most cases, the stored frame is the last DTC reported. Certain DTCs — those that have a greater impact on vehicle emission — have a higher priority. In these cases, DTCs of the highest priority will be retained. Freeze frame data includes a “snapshot” of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is stored.

A confirmation screen will display when the clear codes option is selected to prevent accidental loss of data. Tap Yes on the confirmation screen to continue, or No to exit. 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 local emissions compliance. Selecting I/M Readiness opens a submenu with two choices:  Since DTCs Cleared — displays the status of monitors since the last time the DTCs were erased.  This Drive Cycle — displays the status of monitors since the beginning of the current drive cycle. Live Data This function enables the display of real-time PID data from the ECU. Displayed data includes analog and digital input and output, and system status information broadcast in the vehicle data stream. Live data can be displayed in various modes. See Live Data on page 53 for detailed information. O2 Sensor Monitor This function allows the retrieval and review of recent O2 sensor monitor test results stored on the vehicle's on-board computer. The O2 Sensor Monitor test function is not supported by vehicles that communicate using a Controller Area Network (CAN). For O2 Sensor Monitor tests results of CAN-equipped vehicles, refer to On-Board Monitor below. On-Board Monitor This function allows you to view the results of On-Board Monitor tests. The tests are useful after the service when a vehicle's control module memory is already erased. Component Test This function enables dual-directional control of the ECU so that the diagnostics tool can transmit control commands to operate the vehicle systems. This function is useful in determining how well the ECU responds to a command.

identification number, Calibration Verification Number (CVN), and other vehicle information.

various scheduled service and maintenance tasks. The typical service operation screen is a series of menu-driven commands. Follow the on-screen instructions to select appropriate options, enter values or data, and perform necessary actions. The application will display detailed instructions to complete selected service operations. After entering each special function, the screen will display two application choices: Diagnosis and Hot Functions. Diagnosis enables the reading and clearing of codes, which is sometimes necessary after completing certain special functions. Hot Functions consists of sub functions of the frequently used special function(s). In this chapter, we will discuss several of the most commonly used services. Figure 10-1 Sample Service Menu 10.1 Oil Reset Service This function performs a reset of the Engine Oil Life system, which calculates the optimal oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate. The Oil Life Reminder must be reset each time the oil is changed so that the system can calculate when the next oil change is required.

2. All required work must be carried out before the service indicators are reset. Failure to do so may result in incorrect service values and cause DTCs to be stored by the relevant control module. 3. For some vehicles, the scan tool can reset additional service lights such as the maintenance cycle and service interval. On BMW vehicles for example, service resets include engine oil, spark plugs, front/rear brakes, coolant, particle filter, brake fluid, micro filter, vehicle inspection, exhaust emissions inspection, and vehicle checks. 10.2 Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Service This function has a multitude of ways to maintain the electronic braking system including activating and deactivating the brake control system, assisting with brake fluid control, opening and closing brake pads, and calibrating brakes after disc or pad replacement. EPB Safety It can be dangerous to perform EPB system maintenance. Before you begin the service work, please keep the following rules in mind!  Ensure that you are familiar with the braking system and its operation before commencing any work.  The EPB control system may require deactivation before carrying out any maintenance/diagnostic work on the brake system. This can be done from the tool menu.  Only perform maintenance work when the vehicle is stationary and on level ground.  Ensure that the EPB control system is reactivated after the maintenance work has been completed. NOTE Autel accepts no responsibility for any accident or injury arising from the maintenance of the EPB system. 10.3 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Service This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle's ECU and to perform TPMS replacement and reset procedures after tire sensors are replaced. 10.4 Battery Management System (BMS) Service The BMS allows the tool to evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the closed-circuit current, register the battery replacement, activate the rest state of the vehicle, and charge the battery via the diagnostic socket.

2. The sub functions and actual test screens of the BMS may vary by vehicle. Please follow the on-screen instructions to make correct selection. The vehicle may use either a sealed lead-acid battery or an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery. Lead acid batteries contain liquid sulphuric acid and can spill when overturned. AGM batteries (valve regulated lead acid, VRLA batteries) also contains sulphuric acid, but the acid is contained in glass mats between terminal plates. It is recommended that the replacement aftermarket battery has the same specifications, such as capacity and type, as the original battery. If the original battery is replaced with a different type of battery (e.g., a lead-acid battery is replaced with an AGM battery) or a battery with a different capacity (mAh), the vehicle may require reprogramming of the new battery in addition to performing the battery reset. Consult the vehicle manual for additional vehicle-specific information. 10.5 Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) Service The DPF function manages DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit. The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration. Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven more with higher load and speed. In order for regeneration to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be obtained. In the event of the car being driven in such a way that regeneration is not possible, i.e., frequent short journeys, a DTC will eventually be registered in addition to the DPF light and “Check Engine” indicators. A service regeneration can be requested in the workshop using the diagnostic tool. Before performing a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the following items:  The fuel light is not on.  No DPF-relevant faults are stored in system.  The vehicle has the specified engine oil.  The oil for diesel is not contaminated. IMPORTANT Before diagnosing a problem vehicle and attempting to perform an emergency regeneration, it is important to obtain a full diagnostic log and read out relevant measured value blocks.

faulty EGR valve. 2. The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping up the fuel additive Eolys. 3. If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a DPF service, a second person is required for the function: One person should drive the vehicle while the other person observes the screen on the tool. Do not attempt to drive and observe the scan tool at the same time. This is dangerous and puts your life and the lives of other motorists and pedestrians at risk. 10.6 Immobilizer (IMMO) Service An immobilizer is an anti-theft mechanism that prevents an automobile's engine from starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present. This device prevents thieves from starting the car by a method known as hot wiring. Most new vehicles have an immobilizer as standard equipment. An important advantage of this system is that it doesn't require the car owner to activate it; it operates automatically. An immobilizer is considered as providing much more effective anti-theft protection than an audible alarm alone; many auto insurance companies offer lower rates for vehicles that are equipped with an immobilizer. As an anti-theft device, an immobilizer disables one of the systems needed to start a car's engine, usually the fuel supply or the ignition. This is accomplished by radio frequency identification between a transponder in the ignition key and a radio frequency reader in the steering column. When the key is placed in the ignition, the transponder sends a signal with a unique identification code to the reader, which relays it to a receiver in the vehicle's computer control module. If the code is correct, the computer allows the fuel supply and ignition systems to operate and start the engine. If the code is incorrect or absent, the computer disables the system, and the engine will be unable to start until the correct key is placed in the ignition. The IMMO service can disable a lost vehicle key and program the replacement key fob. One or more replacement key fobs can be programmed. 10.7 Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Service Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration permanently stores the current steering wheel position as the straight-ahead position in the SAS EEPROM. Therefore, the front wheels and the steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead position before calibration. In addition, the VIN is also read from the instrument cluster and stored permanently in the SAS EEPROM. On successful completion of calibration, the SAS fault memory is automatically cleared. Calibration must always be carried out after the following operations:  Steering wheel replacement  SAS replacement

 Any maintenance or repair work on the steering linkage, steering gear or other related mechanism  Wheel alignment or wheel track adjustment  Accident repairs where damage to the SAS, SAS assembly, or any part of the steering system may have occurred NOTE 1. Autel accepts no responsibility for any accident or injury arising from servicing the SAS system. When interpreting DTCs retrieved from the vehicle, always follow the manufacturer's recommendation for repair. 2. All software screens shown in this manual are examples, and actual test screens may vary by test vehicle. Pay attention to the menu titles and the on-screen instructions to make correct option selections. 3. Before starting any procedure, make sure the vehicle has an ESC button. Look for the button on the vehicle dashboard.

Connect the multimeter to the B200 device and access its applications directly from the BT609 Home screen to perform leakage detection, relative compression test, and basic functions, including AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance measurements, diode, and connectivity tests. The test results will be displayed by numeric values or graphs. Figure 11-1 Sample Multimeter Home Screen 11.1 Safety Information Follow the instructions below to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock and prevent equipment damage.  Use the multimeter only as specified in this manual.  Do not apply more than the rated voltage between connectors or between any connector and ground.  Do not input a value beyond the maximum range when measuring. Remember that the maximum range of this multimeter is 200V.  To prevent injury or death, do not use the multimeter if it appears to be damaged in any way, and stop use immediately if you are concerned with any abnormal operations.  To prevent injury or death, never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Isolate yourself from ground by using dry rubber insulating mats to cover all exposed/grounded metal. Ensure all clothing, including gloves, are dry. Stand on rubber mats when using the tool.

the test leads or probes for damage before use.  When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.  Use the supplied replacement fuses or specified replacement parts.  Always consider electrical and electronic equipment to be energized (live). Never assume any equipment is de-energized.  When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.  When measuring current, turn off circuit power before connecting the multimeter to the circuit. Remember to place the multimeter in series with the circuit.  After current measurement is finished, turn off the power to the circuit before removing the test leads and before reconnecting any disconnected wires or devices.  Do not add voltage to the input terminal when measuring resistance.  To avoid electric shock, turn off the power to the component before connecting.  To prevent damage, always use and store your multimeter in appropriate environments.  Do not use in wet or damp conditions or around explosive gas or vapor.  Do not tamper with or disassemble the multimeter, connectors or accessories. Internal damage will affect performance.  Before carrying out maintenance and cleaning of the multimeter, make sure the unit is NOT connected to a power source, vehicle or computer.  When cleaning the multimeter, use a damp, soft cloth with mild detergent. Do not allow water to enter the multimeter casing. 11.2 Connecting the Multimeter  Plug the red test lead into the red color coded input of the multimeter, and the black test lead into the black input.

black alligator clip/black probe to the black test lead.  Power on the BT609 and tap the Multimeter button to enter the application.  Connect the multimeter to the multimeter cable port of the MaxiBAS B200 series tester and tighten the connector of the multimeter.  Now the multimeter is ready for use.

Before opening the Multimeter application, ensure the multimeter device (DM100, Digital Multimeter 100) is connected to the tester via the multimeter cable. The device will beep when entering the application after properly connected with the tester. Some current will flow through the protective ground conductor to ground in an electrical installation. This is often called leakage current. Leakage current may cause unnecessary and intermittent tripping of circuits protected by ground fault current interrupters. High levels of leakage current may be present in circuits where electronic equipment with filters is used, and can cause voltages that disrupt normal operation of equipment. In order to eliminate or minimize the effects of leakage current, a current clamp meter can be used. Under Leakage detection, two models are available: Current model and Multimeter model. 11.3.1 Current Model The Current model can detect leakage current on a whole battery. Check the vehicle manufacturer manual for the static current parameter so as to verify leakage current. Please follow the step-by-step instructions on the screen to complete the test. Figure 11-2 Sample Leakage Detection (Current Model) Screen 11.3.2 Multimeter Model The Multimeter model can detect leakage current on a specific fuse. Select the corresponding fuse type and color to initiate the test.

IMPORTANT Before performing leakage detection, ensure that the battery voltage is above 12.6 V; otherwise, the engine should be turned on to charge the battery. The test result may be compromised if the battery voltage is below 12.6 V. 11.4 Relative Compression Test The Relative compression test is helpful to diagnose misfires due to a compression issue. By applying a low amp probe, this test will show the compression in the cylinders, not actual values but relative to each other, so the user can identify which cylinder may have the low compression. Follow the on-screen instructions to prepare for the test. Figure 11-4 Sample Relative Compression Test Screen
