1. Safety Precautions and Warnings

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle: l l l l l l Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment. Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards. Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts. Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are poisonous. Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while running tests. Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running. Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged. Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical fires nearby. Dont connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running. Keep the scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan tool, when necessary. No solvents such as alcohol are allowed to clean the keypad or display. Use a mild nonabrasive detergent and a soft cotton cloth. Do not soak the keypad as the keypad is not waterproof.

2. General Information
2.1 On-Board Diagnostics
The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (called OBD I) was developed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and implemented in 1988 to monitor some of the emission control components on vehicles. As technology evolved and the desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed. This second generation of On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called "OBD II". The European version of OBD II is commonly referred to as EOBD and has protocols developed for the European vehicle market. The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission control systems and key engine components by performing either continuous or periodic tests of specific components and vehicle conditions. When a problem is detected, the OBD II system turns on a warning lamp (MIL) on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver typically by the phrase of "Check Engine orService Engine Soon. The system will also store important information about the detected malfunction so that a technician can accurately find and fix the problem. Here below follow three pieces of such valuable information: 1) Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is commanded 'on' or 'off'; 2) Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored; 3) Readiness Monitor status.

2.2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

EOBD/OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle. These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle. OBD II/EOBD Diagnostic Trouble Codes consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code. The first character, a letter, identifies which control system sets the code. The other four characters, all numbers, provide additional information on where the
2

DTC originated and the operating conditions that caused it to set. Here below is an example to illustrate the structure of the digits:

DTC Example

P0202
Systems B=Body C=Chassis P=Powertrain U=Network Identifying specific malfunctioning section of the systems

Code Type Generic (SAE): P0, P2, P34-P39 B0, B3 C0, C3 U0, U3. Manufacturer Specific: P1, P30-p33 B1, B2 C1, C2 U1, U2

Sub-systems 1= Fuel and Air Metering 2= Fuel and Air Metering 3= Ignition System or Engine Misfire 4= Auxiliary Emission Controls 5= Vehicle Speed Control and Idle Controls 6= Computer Output Circuits 7= Transmission Controls 8= Transmission Controls

2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)

The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the drivers side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the
3

DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicles service manual for the location.

2.4 OBD II/EOBD Readiness Monitors

An important part of a vehicles OBD II/EOBD system is the Readiness Monitors, which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been evaluated by the OBD II/EOBD system. They are running periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable limits. Currently, there are eleven OBD II/EOBD Readiness Monitors (or I/M Monitors) defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are supported by all vehicles and the exact number of monitors in any vehicle depends on the motor vehicle manufacturers emissions control strategy. Continuous Monitors -- Some of the vehicle components or systems are continuously tested by the vehicles OBD II system, while others are tested only under specific vehicle operating conditions. The continuously monitored components listed below are always ready: 1Misfire 2Fuel System 3Comprehensive Components (CCM) Once the vehicle is running, the OBD II/EOBD system is continuously checking the above components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for engine misfire, and monitoring fuel demands. Non-Continuous Monitors -- Unlike the continuous monitors, many emissions and engine system components require the vehicle to be
4

operated under specific conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors are termed non-continuous monitors and are listed below: 1) EGR System 2) O2 Sensors 3) Catalyst 4) Evaporative System 5) O2 Sensor Heater 6) Secondary air 7) Heated Catalyst 8) A/C system

2.5 OBD II/EOBD Monitor Readiness Status

OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicles PCMs monitor system has completed testing on each component. Components that have been tested will be reported asReady, orComplete, meaning they have been tested by the OBD II system. The purpose of recording readiness status is to allow inspectors to determine if the vehicles OBD II system has tested all the components and/or systems. The powertrain control module (PCM) sets a monitor toReady orComplete after an appropriate drive cycle has been performed. The drive cycle that enables a monitor and sets readiness codes toReady varies for each individual monitor. Once a monitor is set asReady orComplete, it will remain in this state. A number of factors, including erasing of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with a scan tool or a disconnected battery, can result in Readiness Monitors being set toNot Ready. Since the three continuous monitors are constantly evaluating, they will be reported asReady all of the time. If testing of a particular supported non-continuous monitor has not been completed, the monitor status will be reported asNot Complete orNot Ready. In order for the OBD monitor system to become ready, the vehicle should be driven under a variety of normal operating conditions. These operating conditions may include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, city type driving, and at least one overnight-off period. For

specific information on getting your vehicles OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle owners manual.

2.6 OBD II/EOBD Definitions

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) -- EOBD terminology for the on-board computer that controls engine and drives train. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) -- Malfunction Indicator Light (Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the instrument panel. It is to alert the driver and/or the repair technician that there is a problem with one or more of vehicle's systems and may cause emissions to exceed federal standards. If the MIL illuminates with a steady light, it indicates that a problem has been detected and the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. Under certain conditions, the dashboard light will blink or flash. This indicates a severe problem and flashing is intended to discourage vehicle operation. The vehicle onboard diagnostic system can not turn the MIL off until necessary repairs are completed or the condition no longer exists. DTC -- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that identify which section of the emission control system has malfunctioned. Enabling Criteria -- Also termed Enabling Conditions. They are the vehicle-specific events or conditions that must occur within the engine before the various monitors will set, or run. Some monitors require the vehicle to follow a prescribeddrive cycle routine as part of the enabling criteria. Drive cycles vary among vehicles and for each monitor in any particular vehicle. EOBD Drive Cycle -- A specific mode of vehicle operation that provides conditions required to set all the readiness monitors applicable to the vehicle to theready condition. The purpose of completing an EOBD drive cycle is to force the vehicle to run its onboard diagnostics. Some form of a drive cycle needs to be performed after DTCs have been erased from the PCMs memory or after the battery has been disconnected. Running through a vehicles complete drive cycle willset the readiness monitors so that future faults can be detected. Drive cycles vary depending on the vehicle and the monitor that needs to be reset. For vehicle specific drive cycle, consult the vehicles Owners Manual.
6

Freeze Frame Data -- When an emission-related fault occurs, the EOBD system not only sets a code but also records a snapshot of the vehicle operating parameters to help in identifying the problem. This set of values is referred to as Freeze Frame Data and may include important engine parameters such as engine RPM, vehicle speed, air flow, engine load, fuel pressure, fuel trim value, engine coolant temperature, ignition timing advance, or closed loop status.

3.10 Vehicle Coverage

The professional scan tool MaxiDiagPRO MD801 is able to work with global OBD II/EOBD compliant vehicles but also able to diagnose non-OBD II compliant vehicles. It is specially designed to read and clear trouble codes, and to retrieve ECU information of engine, automatic transmission, ABS and airbag systems for Asian, European and American vehicles. For most pre-OBD II vehicles, they do not have standard 16-pin OBD II DLC (Data Link Connector). You need to have proper diagnostic connectors to diagnose them.

3.11 Product Troubleshooting

Vehicle Linking Error A communication error occurs if the scan tool fails to communicate with the vehicles ECU (Electronic Control Unit). You need to do the following to check up: Verify that the ignition is ON. Check if the scan tools diagnostic connector is securely connected to the vehicles DLC. Turn the ignition off and wait for about 10 seconds. Turn the ignition back to on and continue the testing. Verify the control module is not defective. Operating Error If the scan tool freezes, then an exception occurs or the vehicles ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is too slow to respond to requests. You need to do the following to reset the tool: Press and hold POWER button for at least 2 seconds to reset the scan tool. Turn the ignition off and wait for about 10 seconds. Turn the ignition back to on and continue the testing.

CAUTION: Dont connect or disconnect any test equipment with ignition on or engine running. u Reading Codes can be done with the key on engine off (KOEO) or with the key on engine running (KOER). u Stored Codes are also known as hard codes or permanent codes. These codes cause the control module to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when emission-related fault occurs. u Pending Codes are also referred to as maturing codes or continuous monitor codes. They indicate problems that the control module has detected during the current or last driving cycle but are not considered serious yet. Pending Codes will not turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). If the fault does not occur within a certain number of warm-up cycles, the code will be cleared from memory. 1) Use UP/DOWN button to select Read Codes from Diagnostic Menu and press OK button.

Retrieving I/M Readiness Status

I/M Readiness function is used to check the operations of the Emission System on OBD II compliant vehicles. It is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to a state emissions program. Some latest vehicle models may support two types of I/M Readiness tests: A. Since DTCs Cleared - indicates status of the monitors since the DTCs are erased. B. This Drive Cycle - indicates status of monitors since the beginning of the current drive cycle. An I/M Readiness Status result of NO does not necessarily indicate that the vehicle being tested will fail the state I/M inspection. For some states, one or more such monitors may be allowed to be Not Ready to pass the emissions inspection. l OK -- Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has completed its diagnostic testing. l INC -- Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has not completed its diagnostic testing. l N/A -- The monitor is not supported on that vehicle. 1) Use UP/DOWN button to select I/M Readiness from Diagnostic Menu and press OK button.
