1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The D9 smart diagnosis system is an advanced scanning tool based
on the Android operating system. It supports multi-language switching
and is suitable for different countries and regions.
The advantage of this scanner is not only its comprehensive functions,
including complete system diagnosis, full OBDⅡfunctions, various
reset functions can also achieve a faster and more accurate diagnosis.
The D9 intelligent diagnosis system mainly includes:

Before performing the diagnosis program, please make sure that the
VCI box is successfully connected to your vehicle, and connect the

the diagnostic tool.
Please confirm the OBD connector specifications configured on your
car before connecting.

the vehicle, please power up the VCI box using a 12V power adapter to get access to the
software.
