8 Saving module In the saving module, you have the option to save data centrally, e.g. diagnosis records or cost estimates for the corresponding vehicle or client. This can be called up again and reused as necessary. The vehicles saved in the saving module can be copied into the vehicle selection. This saves a huge amount of time as existing vehicle or client data does not have to be re-entered.

What can be saved? ● Diagnosis records ● Diagnosis records from PPC ● Certificates for emissions tests ● Created cost estimates, invoices or job orders.

8.1 Operation First customise the saving module for your own use.

● For this purpose, select in the program settings the point "Saving module > Settings “

The following settings can be performed: ● Saving module off:

o No data is saved. ● Save vehicle with client data:

o Each data record must be assigned to a client. o After each exhaust emissions test or transfer from the PPC, you are prompted to

assign the test record to a client. The record is otherwise rejected. ● Save vehicle without client data:

o Only the record with the vehicle data is saved.

Saving the records

Click on the [Save ] button in the tool bar to save a diagnosis record, for example. If you select the “save with client data” setting, a window appears in which you can then enter the client data. You can also assign the record to an existing client via [Client selection ]. If you select the “without client data” setting, only the vehicle is saved. You do not have to make any more entries. This saved data can also be used for the vehicle selection. The [Saving module ] button is located in the tool bar on the start screen. A vehicle can be selected in the saving module and copied over to the vehicle selection.

9 Diagnosis Diagnosis is modular in structure and can be put together as desired. Different diagnostic tools are required, depending on the diagnosis type. Please take the settings for the diagnostic tools from the relevant manual. The following diagnosis types are available:

EOBD Diagnosis (European On-Board Diagnosis) ● The read-out data are exclusively exhaust-gas-related information from engine

management and transmission control.

OBD Diagnosis ● Manufacturer-specific system diagnosis

Parallel Diagnosis (only in conjunction with D-Box SP) ● Live measurements of actuators and sensors directly at the wiring harness and

control unit.

INFORMATION! Before beginning diagnostic work, always check the settings for the diagnostic tool used in the program settings.

9.2 EOBD Diagnosis It is not necessary to select a vehicle for EOBD diagnosis. The required diagnosis record is automatically detected.

1 Start EOBD diagnosis via the [EOBD Diagnosis ] button or [F5 ]. o EOBD diagnosis can also be started from

the OBD Diagnosis and Exhaust Emissions Test modules.

ATTENTION! Always read and observe the INFORMATIONs and messages in the program run.

2 Connect the diagnostic tool to the vehicle and the PC. 3 Turn on the ignition on the vehicle and click

on [Continue ]. Communication with the control unit is established and the system status is read out.

ATTENTION! In accordance with the manufacturer's instructions make sure during serial OBD diagnosis that a power supply of 12 volts is guaranteed. To ensure this, either connect an external power supply or start the engine. Otherwise a correct diagnosis result cannot be guaranteed.

- 29 -

9.2.1 EOBD System status (Mode 1 and Mode 9) Here you initially have the option of establishing a new connection for communication between the components. You must ensure here that all the cables are connected. Communication with the control unit has been established when the white boxes in the current window contain numerical values and information. These details are read out of the control unit. The following information is displayed:

● Number of stored faults. ● Status of the monitored components with display of the individual components. ● Display of the record. ● Vehicle identification (only supported by a few control units). ● MIL status indication (Black-white indication = signalled MIL status of the control unit

is off. Red indication = signalled MIL Status is on). ● Display of the address and the addressed control unit.

9.2.2 EOBD Data lists (Mode 1) Here you have the option of specifically calling up the data lists available for the connected vehicle. Highlight the desired measured values in the selection window. These values are then displayed on a blue background. Click on the [OK ] button to confirm. The values are now displayed in the "Value" area. It is possible here to call up only individual data lists or all the available data lists. You can display as many data lists as you need for diagnosis. Minimum (Min.) and Maximum (Max.) values of the current measurement are also

ing of axes: x-axis = time; y-axis = signal level). The value display is geared during measurement flexibly to the Maximum (Max.) values.

9.2.4 Ambient data/FreezeFrames (Mode 2) The control unit automatically sets the priority to one of the read-out faults. In this function this fault is displayed in the upper bar of the screen. The ambient data of the trouble code (= the conditions under which the trouble code was stored) are displayed in the lower bar in the window.

9.2.5 EOBD fault memory (Mode 3 and Mode 7) Temporary and debounced faults are displayed with their P0 trouble codes here.

Temporary faults: If a fault is read out during diagnosis, it is initially stored in the temporary fault memory as a briefly occurred and unconfirmed fault. In the case of this fault type, the MI lamp is normally not activated.

Debounced faults: If a fault is categorised by the control unit as Attention or if the fault stored in the temporary fault memory occurs again and again in a specific start cycle, it is confirmed by the control unit and displayed as a debounced fault. In the case of this fault type, the MI lamp is normally activated. The fault can also be recategorised by the control unit to temporary status if it no longer occurs after further start attempts (usually after 40 starts).

P0 trouble codes: These are standardised trouble codes. You will find a corresponding explanatory text to these trouble codes, with a help text in the program display.

P1 trouble codes: These are manufacturer-specific codes which are read out from the control unit. You can displays the descriptions for these codes by clicking on the [Additional information ] button provided the vehicles has been selected in Vehicle selection and the specific vehicle lists are stored.

- 31 -

9.2.6 Delete fault memory (Mode 4) The faults of Modes 3 and 7 (temporary and debounced faults) can be deleted with this function.

ATTENTION! The Delete function also deletes simultaneously the faults in Mode 2 with the associated ambient data and the sensor values from Mode 5 and resets the status of the component/readiness codes to "not tested" (1). It is therefore recommended to call up and archive the above-mentioned data before deletion.

9.2.7 Oxygen sensors (Mode 5) After the test cycle is completed, values of the lambda oxygen sensors are displayed here. The values shown here are static (constant) ones. No values are displayed here if the test sequence is not completed (readiness codes ≠ 0). This mode is not supported by all the control units. No value is output here in the case of wide-band sensors. The control units output many different values (max. 9 standardised values per oxygen sensor). Manufacturer-specific values are also output.

● $01: Threshold voltage - rich to lean ● $02: Threshold voltage - lean to reach ● $03: Lower voltage - constant for switching

time calculation ● $04: Upper voltage - constant for switching

time calculation ● $05: Switching time from rich to lean ● $06: Switching time from lean to rich ● $07: Lowest sensor voltage of driving cycle ● $08: Highest sensor voltage of driving cycle ● $09: Time between transitions

9.2.8 Display of measured values (Mode 6/manufacturer-specific) The measured values of functions of non-continuously monitored systems are displayed here. Test values of temporarily tested manufacturer-specific functions are issued. These values are static ones.

9.2.9 Actuator test (Mode 8/manufacturer-specific)

Still only supported by very few control units and serves to activate components in the vehicle.

- 32 -

9.3 Serial OBD Diagnosis During OBD diagnosis (On-Board Diagnosis) the fault memories of the control units are read out directly via the vehicle's diagnosis connection. Depending on the vehicle, you can carry out the following diagnostic tests:

● Read out and delete system-related fault memories. ● Read out data lists and system information. ● Actuator test for activating and deactivating different components. ● Coding and settings in the control unit.

- 37 -

9.3.10 Reading out data lists This function for reading out data lists is available in many systems (also known as measured value block or actual values). It provides measured and control values from the operating state of an assembly. These values are received by the sensors of an assembly. The control unit converts them into decimal values with a unit. The values are only displayed in full when the assembly is in operation. It should be borne in mind here that reading out data lists with engine management only proves useful when the ignition is turned on or with the engine running; however, diagnosis of the immobiliser can provide useful values even when the ignition is turned off.

1 When the [Read out data lists] function is selected, the first set of data lists is automatically loaded and displayed.

2 When the [Next data list] button is pressed, the next set of data lists is read out and displayed. o The number of the currently displayed data

list and the total number (amount) of data lists are displayed.

3 When the [Previous data list] button is pressed, the last data list is displayed again.

9.3.11 Actuator test In this test, actuators (electronic components of the selected system) are activated. How this test works differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. For example, in the case of VAG vehicles, the order of the activated actuators is prespecified. In the case of other manufacturers, the actuators can be selected from a list.

1 Turn off the ignition for 5 seconds prior to a new actuator test. 2 Please observe the warning with the vehicle-specific particulars. ● [Start]

o Starts the actuator test and activates the first component in the test chain. ● [Continue]

o Activates the next component in the test chain. ● [Stop]

o Stops component activation. ● The currently activated component is displayed or can be selected here.

ATTENTION - PETROL/GASOLINE ENGINES! After the test, start the engine with the throttle valve fully deflected (to avoid possible starting difficulties after activation of the fuel injectors).

In the case of a function without a description from the manufacturer, the function number of the activated component is displayed. (This enables assistance to be provided over the hotline.) If communication is broken off, it is re-established automatically after a warning message (if, for example, the engine has to be switched off, communication is forcibly broken off).

9.3.12 Coding control unit (ECU) This function enables your to code control units with or without additional input parameters. In the case of the immobiliser, it is possible to reprogram the ignition keys by entering a security code. To execute a coding function, please adhere to the following sequence:

● If available, call up [Help] and read the exact description of the coding procedure.

● Observe the prescribed sequence while adhering to the time limits. Start the coding function by clicking on the [OK] button.

● Wait for feedback from the system and if necessary follow additional instructions.

● If a fault occurs during coding, the preset system parameters normally remain valid. Newly input parameters are accepted and thus become active only after coding has been fully and correctly carried out.

- 39 -

ATTENTION! To ensure that the desired result is obtained, it is absolutely essential to adhere to the specified coding sequence.

The security codes are confidential information and may not under circumstances be passed on to third parties.

9.3.13 Calibration The Calibration function enables vehicle components to be learned or adjusted. This is necessary because modern control units adapt themselves to component wear and automatically make corrections in the specified tolerance band. If a worn component is replaced by a new component, the control unit must be reset again to the standard values.

INFORMATION! this function is different from system to system. Please, read and follow always the help and indications in the program

ATTENTION! Read [Help ] before executing a calibration function. This section describes in detail the prerequisites for successful execution as well as any particulars.

To start the calibration, click on the [OK ] button that follows the name of the corresponding component. You will then be referred again to the operating conditions which must be in place.

9.3.14 Analog systems If (digital) serial diagnosis is not available for the selected vehicle, it could still be possible to carry out an (analog) scan of the flash codes.

● Start OBD diagnosis. ● Click on the [Additional information]

symbol in the symbol bar to locate the position of the diagnosis connection.

10 Parallel Diagnosis (via the Control Unit) Self-diagnosis of the vehicle systems unfortunately does not check and detect all the electronic components and faults. More exact information is obtained either with direct measurements at the wiring harness and components or with single pin testing via a PIN box, but this usually takes a long time. Parallel diagnosis essentially involves nothing more than checking components and the wiring harness. Thus temporary faults appears which can be detected neither via the internal control unit memory nor via a serial interface. Parallel diagnosis facilitates troubleshooting beyond reading out the control unit. Each PIN on the control unit and wiring harness is automatically scanned individually. This is necessary if the vehicle has no serial interface or in order to localise faults which were not or not clearly stored in the fault memory. The complete system is tested, not just the system monitored under limited conditions by the control unit. A significant advantage of parallel measurement lies in the fact that each PIN can also be individually tested in the form of parameter scans (or by means of oscilloscope).

Schematic sequence of parallel diagnosis

10.2 Selecting the vehicle/record ● Select in the diagnosis module the diagnosis

type Parallel diagnosis. ● Several vehicle variations appear in the list if

several records are available for the selected vehicle. Then select the vehicle to be tested.

● The positions of the control unit and the adapter cable to be used (green dot) are displayed in the diagram.

● Connect the specified adapter cable.

ATTENTION! Always make sure when disconnecting control units from the wiring harness that the ignition is turned off.

ATTENTION! Effects comparable with the situation after the vehicle battery has been disconnected for an extended period of time can occur; for example, basic settings and learned data can be lost.

ATTENTION! Please observe the manufacturer's instructions without fail.

10.3 Performing parallel diagnosis Click on the measurement you wish to carry out.

● Ground test o This test checks the ground connections of the wiring harness, the control unit and

the components. During the test the ground points and the components to be tested are subjected to a defined current. It is important to make sure here that the control unit is not connected to the Y-adapter.

● Parallel measurement o This is the most important measurement of parallel diagnosis. Because a control

unit can have over 150 pins, which would have to be manually tested in a time-consuming operation, parallel measurement provides a convenient, automated test sequence for the most important pins. Here some components are also tested several times in various operating states.

● Status test o Here the most important system measurement data appear in a rapid overview.

They are continuously measured and displayed. No scheduled data are displayed during this test. This test is carried out with a connected control unit.

● Drive test o Some faults occur only sporadically while driving and are consequently difficult to

locate in the garage/workshop. Here you can load a vehicle-specific test program into the diagnosis box and perform a test drive with the connected diagnosis box. A display will appear if a fault has occurred and you can evaluate the fault back in the garage/workshop.
