①Flashing -the ASD60 is properly connected to the vehicle/power supply but not
connected with Bluetooth
②Solid - the ASD60 is connected to the vehicle/power supply and also the mobile
device through Bluetooth
③Off - the ASD60 is in sleep mode OR disconnected to power/vehicle OBD port
After the ASD60 is powered on for the first time or re-plugged, it starts to work (Bluetooth can be
connected and can be diagnosed, and enters the sleep mode after 30 minutes);
After the ASD60 detects the ignition of the vehicle is ON, it starts to work within 5s (Bluetooth can be

3DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis function can read ECU information, read and clear DTC and display live data
and freeze frame. The diagnosis function can also access the electronic control unit (ECU)
of all available vehicle control systems, including the engine, transmission, anti-lock
braking system (ABS), airbag system (SRS), body control module (BCM), battery
management system (BMS), tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), steering and
suspension system (SAS) and perform various actuation tests.
Diagnosis can only be performed when the ASD60 is connected to a mobile device through Bluetooth
successfully and the LED indicator lights solid.
3.1 DIAGNOSIS
Click the Car Make menu on top of the screen, all the brands will be shown and you can
click the corresponding brand, and start the diagnosis process.
Figure 3-1 Sample of the main menu screen
For some of the vehicle brands (like Volkswagen), when you click on the software, there
are several ways to select the model or system you want to run a diagnosis, including
Automatic Detection, Manual Selection, and System Selection.

—12 —
Figure 3-2 Sample of VW menu screen
Automatic Detection will automatically identify the vehicle’s VIN code, and then read the
information of your target diagnostic vehicle. If you choose Manual Selection, then you
can continue to select the vehicle brand, year, and model of the vehicle in the sub-menu
to diagnose the vehicle. Enter System Selection, you can also diagnose the vehicle
according to the system or your needs after selecting the models.
Automatic Detection does not work on all cars. If ‘Automatic Detection’ fails, it does not necessarily
mean that your vehicle or the function is not supported, please navigate manually and try again.
OBDII menu supports reading the common fault codes in the PCM. The DTCs may not be the same
when compared with using common diagnosis software.
DEMO is a demonstration program. You can perform basic diagnosis functions without connecting to
the car.
DEMO is only for demonstration purposes, the functions and interface are not necessarily the same as
the actual version of the software/App. Please activate and update your device to use the latest version
of software.

3.2 DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONS
The Diagnosis System supports 6 diagnosis functions:
Read ECU Information
Read & Clear Trouble Code
Live Data
Actuation Test (Bi-Directional Control)
Freeze Frame
Special Functions
Figure 3-3 Diagnosis functions
Read ECU Information
This function is to read ECU version information, which is the equivalent of System
Identification or System Information in some electronic control systems, which means to
read ECU-related software and hardware versions, models, and production date of the
diesel engine, part number, etc.

—14 —
Figure 3-4 Sample of read ECU information screen
Read Trouble Code
Read trouble codes (DTCs) that are stored in ECU. For the trouble code, the diagnostic
instrument will give specific detailed definitions and explanations to help you locate and
eliminate the car fault.
Stored Code
Stored codes are the current emission-related DTCs from the ECM of the vehicle.
OBDII 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.
Pending Code
These are codes whose setting conditions were met during the last drive cycle, but
need to be met two or more consecutive drive cycles before the DTC actually sets.
