PS2 Heavy automobile computer diagnostic tool is a major product of Xtooltech Co. Ltd. ur technicians in
programming and R&D section play a technical leading role in this business. Most engineers have rich experiences
for designing platform and software. Therefore, our custom will feel the outstanding and powerful performance of
the product.
As for the design of PS2, our technicians perfectly mix appearances with practicality. With jumbo size, true-color,
full touching screen and simple body, customers will operate PS2 more intuitively and easily. The capability of the
built-in highly processing chip could reach 400MHZ. Its ability is superior to the common used ARM7 chip. Such
excellent performance of the chip and the superior diagnostic module will guarantee the accuracy and real-time
function. The demonstration for data stream of PS2 shows its accuracy and rapidity which will enhance the
convenience of our guests.
In the compatible aspect of data agreement, PS2 comprehensively supports all protocols and all modes for the BD
II. The built-in CAN BUS chip supports all CAN BUS agreements. The forward-looking design of PS2 meets the need
not only for the present but also for the future automobile main-line examination. The drivers of diagnostic module
can be updated through the internet. The formidable compatibility reduces the equipped adapter. PS2 is easy to
handle and users will experience the unique design from our R&D team.
We also provides wireless communication version of PS2. The servicemen can sits in the office to carry on the
functional test. The VAG connector could meet the various requests from customers. All test procedures places on a
high-capacity SD card which facilitates the updating procedure. The mulit-language edition will satisfy the demands
from our customer around the world.
As a result of massive field test, PS2 becomes a matured and integrated product. Excellence is our motto. We make
every effort to develop and to innovate our product which enables PS2 to become an reliable automobile diagnostic
equipment. The speedy test, the accuracy and the user-friendly design of SP2 help us to enjoy the support of all
customers!
PS2 is a high-tech and professional automobile diagnostic tool. Please follow the instruction to use the product. If
you have any problems or questions related to the operation, please contact post-sale Technical service department

The box is bridging the PS2 mainframe and the automobile diagnostic base. It is called lower
position machine. This diagnostic box has two connections, the DB15 connection and the BD II
connection. The main testing line connects the PS2 mainframe with the DB15 adapter. The BDII
connection could link with the testing adapter (PS2 with BDII diagnostic base could directly link
with automobile connection base)
Because the blue-teeth communication module is installed in the VCI diagnosis box, the PS2
mainframe could proceed the diagnosis without the main testing line. The “on-line diagnosis”
should be changed to the “wireless diagnosis” mode on the menu.serial port: Uses in the main

③find out the corresponding testing connector in the PS2 suitcase according to the type of
vehicle diagnostic block, then connect VCI box with vehicle diagnostic block by testing
connector
④ you can use the universal jumper box to test if in case there is no suitable connector in
suitcase, but please pay special attention:
a. please test the diagnostic block by multimeter before connecting, so as to confirm its
anode, Negative electrode, K communication line or CAN BUS communication line
b. please pay more attention to avoid shaking hand lead to short circuit and destroy the
electronic components as the distance of diagnostic block’s terminals is very small.
c. Wrong connection will destroy ECU or the electronic compolents in mainframe, for
example, wrong connection with anode and negative electrode, or treat anode as K line, which
would destroy diagnostic equipment. While it will lead to no way to enter into the system if H
line is wrongly instead connect with L line of CAN BUS communication .

① The power should reach to the normal working voltage, 12 V or 24 V
② the hand should pinch the front of harness to Pull or insert the testing wire, cant pull the
middle part forcibly. Please check if it is flat after inserting, cant slant to insert so as to invoice
destroying the terminals.
③The user should operate by the illustration as testing special function. For example, the
factors of ff-cylinder test for some vehicles are as follows: the water temperature of engine is
80℃ -105℃， should close light， air condition and loosen pedal fast etc.
④ as the diesel machine and the electronic control system are usually complex, so if it cant
test or testing data is wrong, please check out the correct ECU model，then choose it to
correspond with the menu
⑤ Maybe it should update the software If you cant find out the vehicle model or diesel
electronic control system in the menu. r contact with technical service department.
⑥No using the harness not produced by xtooltech in order to avoid unnecessary loss.
⑦No plugging out SD card in terms of diagnostic testing in order to avoid losing data.
⑧No power off directly in terms of communication with PS2 and vehicle, please cancel the task
first, then back to main interface, and then power it off.
