and freeze frame data. The Diagnostic application can access the ECU of various vehicle control systems, including the
Engine, Transmission, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Airbag Safety Restraing System (SRS), Electronic Parking Brake
system (EPB) and perform many types of actuation tests.
VEHICLE CONNECTION
The scan tool must be connected to the vehicle’s OBD-II port so that the tablet can establish correct vehicle communication.
Please perform the following steps:
1 Turn on the tablet
2 Connect vehicle and tablet via the main test cable
3 Switch on the ignition and tap on the Diagnostic application to start your diagnosis.
The connection method is shown in the figure below:
1. Vehicle
2. Main Cable (DB15
