Intended use
The diagnostic box is a tool for performing diagnostics on components outside the vehicle
network (stand-alone components).
The diagnostic box supplies the power to the component and has an OBD port for
establishing communication. This enables you to use diagnostic systems (e.g. ODIS Service in
combination with VC interface VAS 6154) that usually access components via the OBD
connector in the vehicle.
Depending on your requirements, the diagnostic system and the VC interface can
communicate with the stand-alone component in three different operating modes:
•Soft bridge mode (SB)
•Gateway mode (GW)
•Hard bridge mode (HB)
Connect the diagnostic box to the vehicle component you want to test using adapter cables.
The diagnostic box can be updated, allowing it to be adapted to future applications with a
firmware update. The diagnostic box is downward compatible with its predecessor the VAS
5581 and the corresponding adapter cables.
Use only the power supply belonging to the diagnostic box with the power supply cable
suitable for the country of use, and use only the rechargeable batteries belonging to the
diagnostic box (see chapters “Scope of delivery” and “Configuration”). Observe the operating
manual from the manufacturer of the power supply! Use only the plug connections on the
vehicle that the manufacturer has specified in the guided fault finding.
In this operating manual, vehicle manufacturers are exclusively defined as vehicle
manufacturers in the Volkswagen Group.
Any use beyond what is listed here is prohibited.
