In addition to the above 2 methods, you can also choose a car brand according to the region. You can select
the vehicle model that needs to be diagnosed according to the area, as shown below:
OBD-Ⅱsupports reading the related fault codes of PCM; DEMO, a demonstration program; Click this button to
experience and learn the operation process of the diagnostic function
19
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 Diagnostics, including Automatic Detection, Manual Selection,
and System Selection.
Automatic Detection will automatically identify the vehicle's VIN code, and then read the information of your
target diagnostic object. 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 according to your needs after selecting the model.
OBDII menu supports reading the common fault codes in the engine. The DTCs may not be the same
when compared with using common Diagnostics software.
DEMO is a demonstration program. You can perform basic Diagnostics functions without connecting
to the car.
20
◼ 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 diesel engine, part number, etc.
Read trouble codes that are stored in ECU. For the fault code, the diagnostic instrument will give specific
detailed definitions and explanations to help you locate and eliminate the car fault.
In the process of Diagnostics, if the device shows “System is OK” or “No Trouble Code”, it means
there is no related trouble code stored in ECU or some troubles are not under the control of ECU, most
of these troubles are mechanical system troubles or executive circuit troubles, it is also possible that
signal of the sensor may bias within limits, which can be judged in Live Data.
It allows clearing current and historical trouble codes memory in ECU, under the premise that all the troubles
are eliminated. There are two types of fault codes, one is a permanent fault code and the other is a non-
permanent fault code. The former requires manual troubleshooting of the car before it can be cleared with a
diagnostic tool. Non-permanent fault codes can be cleared directly with the diagnostic tool.
21
Figure 4-10 Sample of Clear DTC
The trouble codes can’t be erased without eliminating all the troubles, which will cause the
diagnostic tool to always read the trouble code because the code will always be saved in ECU.
That is to read the parameters of the running engine, such as oil pressure, temperature, engine speed, fuel oil
temperature, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, etc. Based on these parameters, we can judge
directly where the problem lies, which helps to narrow the scope of maintenance. For some vehicles, during
their actual operation, the problems such as performance characteristics offset, sensitivity reduction, can be
judged in live data.
In the process of Diagnostics, if the device shows “System is OK” or “No Trouble Code”, it means there is
no related trouble code stored in ECU or some troubles are not under the control of ECU, most of these troubles
are mechanical system troubles or executive circuit troubles, it is also possible that signal of the sensor may
bias within limits, which can be judged in Live Data.

◼ Actuation Test
The actuation test, also known as bidirectional control, is a generic term used to describe sending and receiving
information between one device and another.
The vehicle engineers responsible for designing computer control systems programmed them so a scan tool
could request information or command a module to perform specific tests and functions. Some manufacturers
refer to bidirectional controls as functional tests, actuator tests, inspection tests, system tests, or the like.
Reinitialization and reprogramming also can be included in the list of bidirectional controls.
This function allows the device to send information to and receive information from, vehicle control modules.
For example, in the case of OBD II generic information Mode 1 (which relates to data parameters), the scan
tool user initiates a request for information from the powertrain control module (PCM), and the PCM responds
by sending the information back to the scan tool for display. Most enhanced scan tools also can actuate relays,
injectors, and coils, perform system tests, etc. Users could check the individual part to see what is working
properly by actuation test.
◼ Freeze Frame
25
When the signal of the sensor is abnormal, the ECU will save the data at that moment of failure to form a freeze-
frame. It is usually used to analyze the reasons that may lead to car failures.
The living data items supported by vehicles of different brands are not the same, so the freeze frames displayed
when diagnosing vehicles of different brands may also be different. Some vehicles may not have the option of
a freeze-frame which means that the model does not support this function.
Take Renault Duster ii ph as an example, after selecting the system to enter the lower freeze frame menu,
the device will list all the fault codes under the system.
Users can click on a fault code, such as DF1068 to view the freeze frame recorded by the car when the fault
code occurs, including context when the fault appeared, and current context and additional data.
Figure 4-18 Sample of the Freeze frame for Renault Duster ii ph (Screen 1)
Figure 4-19 Sample of the Freeze frame for Renault Duster ii ph (Screen 2)
Context when fault appeared: record the live data when fault appeared to help the user to know the vehicle
status. *Some vehicles don't support this function; users will get a prompt when they click the menu.

◼ Special functions
27
Figure 4-21 Sample of the Special Functions for the Injection system of Renault Duster ii ph
Usually, special functions provide various reset or re-learning function menus for most vehicle systems. You
can easily and quickly solve some faults through special functions for your car. After some functions are
successfully executed, fault codes will be generated, which need to be cleared manually after the car is running
for a little while.
And under each system, you can view the special features supported by that system. Different models and
systems often have different special functions. Even for the same system of the same model, the years and
ECU type may lead to different special functions supported.
5 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
D9 Smart Diagnostics System also supports 20+ commonly used special reset functions, allowing you to quickly
access your vehicle system for various scheduled services, maintenance, and reset performance, eliminating
the need to reset after resolving common problems. The special functions interface is shown below:

5.3. SAS
Steering Angle Sensors (SAS) System Calibration permanently stores the current steering wheel position as
the straight-ahead position in the SAS EEPROM. Therefore, the front wheels and the steering wheel must be
set exactly to the straight-ahead position before calibration. In addition, the VIN is also read from the instrument
cluster and stored permanently in the SAS EEPROM. On successful completion of calibration, the SAS fault
codes will be automatically cleared.
To reset the steering angle, you need to first find the relative zero point position for the car to drive in a straight
line. Taking this position as a reference, the ECU can calculate the accurate angle for left and right steering.
31
After replacing the steering angle position sensor, replacing steering mechanical parts (such as steering
gearbox, steering column, end tie rod, steering knuckle), performing four-wheel alignment, or recovering the
car body, you must reset the steering angle.

5.4. DPF
The Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) function manages DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in,
and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control module (ECM).
The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration. Vehicles driven a lot at
idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than vehicles driven more with higher load and
speed. For regeneration to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be obtained.
33
In the event of the car being driven in such ways that regeneration is not possible, i.e., frequent short journeys,
a diagnostic trouble code will eventually be registered in addition to the DPF light and “Check Engine” indicators
displaying. A service regeneration can be requested in the workshop using the diagnostic tool.
DPF regeneration is used to clear PM (Particulate Matter) from the DPF filter through continuous combustion
oxidation mode (such as high-temperature heating combustion, fuel additive, or catalyst to reduce PM ignition
combustion) to stabilize the filter performance.
1. Enter the DPF menu and choose relevant models according to the vehicle being tested.
2. Enter the DPF regeneration menu.
3. Read carefully and complete the requisites listed before performing the DPF regeneration function. And
press OK after completing the instructions shown.

the original low battery fault information will be cleared and battery matching will be done.
⚫ The main battery is replaced. Battery matching must be performed to clear original low battery information
and prevent the related control module from detecting false information. If the related control module
37
detects false information, it will invalidate some electric auxiliary functions, such as automatic start & stop
function, sunroof without one-key trigger function, power window without automatic function.
⚫ Battery matching is performed to re-match the control module and motoring sensor to detect battery power
usage more accurately, which can avoid an error message displayed on the instrument cluster.
