Note: OBDⅡ supports reading the common fault codes in the engine; DEMO, a demonstration program. Click this button to experience and learn the operation process of the diagnostic function.

Vehicle Selection

D7 Smart Diagnosis System support 2 ways to access the vehicle diagnosis system. You can select "Automatic Detection" or "Manual Selection" to enter the diagnosis system. 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 start the diagnosis by selecting the vehicle brand, year, and model of the vehicle. Enter "manual selection", you can also diagnose the car according to the system according to your needs after selecting the model.

Basic Functions

The diagnosis system supports 5 basic diagnosis functions, as follows:

• Read ECU
• Read /Clear DTCs
• Read Live Data
• Actuation Test
• Freeze Frame

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, all mean to read ECU related software and hardware versions, models and production date of diesel engine, part number, etc. It is convenient for us to make a record in the maintenance process, and it also makes data feedback and management easier.

Read Trouble Code: Read trouble codes stored in ECU.

Tip: In the process of diagnosis, 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.

Clear Trouble Code: It allows to clear current and historical trouble codes memory in ECU, under the premise that all the troubles are eliminated. 

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. 

Suggestion: users should better not clear trouble codes, we need to record the trouble details after reading the code, which is provided as a reference for maintenance. After dealing with troubles, there will be no trouble code when we re-read.

Read Live Data: That is to read the parameters of 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.

Actuation Test: Actuation test, also known as bidirectional control, is a generic term used to describe sending and receiving information between one device and another. This function is used mainly to judge whether these actuating components of the engine are working properly. 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: 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.

Special Functions

The D7 Smart Diagnosis System supports 23 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. This user manual lists some of the commonly used special reset services for your reference. The special functions interface is shown as below:

Note: Due to the limitation of screenshots, the special functions shown in this picture are not complete. All special functions supported by D7 are subject to the actual special functions displayed on the device.

Oil Reset

Reset the Engine Oil Life System, which calculates the optimum oil life change interval based on the vehicle's driving conditions and climate. The oil life reminder must be reset each time the oil is changed so that the system can calculate when the next oil change is required. This function allows you to perform a reset for the engine oil life system, which calculates an optimal oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate.

This function can be performed in the following cases:

• If the service lamp is on, you must provide service for the car. After service, you need to reset the driving mileage or driving time so that the service lamp turns off and the system enables the new service cycle.
• After changing engine oil or electric appliances that monitor oil life, you need to reset the service lamp.

EPB

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) System reset is a popular special function. You can use this function to reset the electronic parking brake system and brake pads, which also supports the brake pad replacement (retraction, release of the brake pump), G-sensor and body angle calibration. This function has multiple uses and can safely and effectively maintain the electronic brake system. These applications include deactivating and activating brake control systems, assisting in controlling brake fluid, opening and closing brake pads, and setting brakes after replacing brake discs or brake pads, etc.

1. If the brake pad wears the brake pad sense line, the brake pad sense line sends a signal sense line to the onboard computer to replace the brake pad. After replacing the brake pad, you must reset the brake pad. Otherwise, the car alarms.
2. Reset must be performed in the following cases:

• The brake pad and brake pad wear sensor are replaced.
• The brake pad indicator lamp is on.
• The brake pad sensor circuit is short, which is recovered.
• The servo motor is replaced.

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 memory is automatically cleared. To reset the steering angle, 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. 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.

DPF

The Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) function manages DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit. The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration. Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven more with higher load and speed. For regeneration to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be obtained. In the event of the car being driven in such a way 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 reduce PM ignition combustion) to stabilize the filter performance.

DPF regeneration may be performed in the following cases:

• The exhaust back pressure sensor is replaced.
• The PM trap is removed or replaced.
• The fuel additive nozzle is removed or replaced.
• The catalytic oxidizer is removed or replaced.
• The DPF regeneration MIL is on and maintenance is performed.
• The DPF regeneration control module is replaced.

BMS Match

The Battery Management System (BMS) allows the scan tool to evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement, and activate the rest state of the vehicle. This function enables you to perform a resetting operation on the monitoring unit of the vehicle battery, in which the original low battery fault information will be cleared and battery matching will be done.

Battery matching must be performed in the following cases:

• 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 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 monitoring sensor. 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 panel.

Throttle

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Match, this function enables you to make initial settings to throttle actuators and returns the “learned” values stored on ECU to the default state. Doing so can accurately control the actions of regulating throttle (or idle engine) to adjust the amount of air intake.

TPMS Reset

Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Reset allows you to quickly lookup the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle ECU, as well as to perform TPMS replacement and reset procedures after tire sensors are replaced. This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle’s ECU, as well as to perform TPMS replacement and sensor tests.

• After the tire pressure MIL turns on and maintenance is performed, the tire pressure resetting function must be performed to reset tire pressure and turn off the tire pressure MIL.
• Tire pressure resetting must be performed after maintenance is performed in the following cases: tire pressure is too low, tire leaks, tire pressure monitoring device is replaced or installed, the tire is replaced, the tire pressure sensor is damaged, and tire is replaced for the car with tire pressure monitoring function.

ABS Bleeding

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Bleeding allows you to perform various bi-directional tests to check the operating conditions of ABS.

1. When the ABS contains air, the ABS bleeding function must be performed to bleed the brake system to restore ABS brake sensitivity.
2. If the ABS computer, ABS pump, brake master cylinder, brake cylinder, brake line, or brake fluid is replaced, the ABS bleeding function must be performed to bleed the ABS.
3. After the oil in the brake oil tank is seriously insufficient or the brake fluid is replaced, ABS Bleeding is also required.

Note:

• When performing ABS Bleeding, it is necessary to unscrew the exhaust screw of the ABS pump.
• After completing the tire pressure sensor learning, it takes a while for the fault light to go out.
• Tire pressure imbalance will also cause the tire pressure light to light up.

Injector Coding

This function can write the identification code of the fuel injector into the ECU so that the ECU can recognize and work normally. Write injector actual code or rewrite code in the ECU to the injector code of the corresponding cylinder to more accurately control or correct cylinder injection quantity. After the ECU or injector is replaced, the injector code of each cylinder must be confirmed or re-coded so that the cylinder can better identify injectors to accurately control fuel injection.

Note:

1. After cleaning, generally, there is no need to do the coding matching function.
2. The identification of the fuel injector includes its working accuracy value and type value. When replacing it, you need to find the corresponding model for replacement.
3. At present, mainstream cars support injector coding function.

Gearbox Match

After changing the gearbox or changing the gearbox ECU, you need to use the gearbox matching function to re-match the engine and the gearbox.

Cautions: Before resetting the gearbox, please check the gearbox control unit to ensure that there is no fault code. If there is a fault code, the gearbox memory function cannot be reset. Please road test after reset.

Suspension

This function can adjust the height of the vehicle body. When replacing the body height sensor in the air suspension system, or control module or when the vehicle level is incorrect, you need to perform this function to adjust the body height sensor for level calibration. The air suspension system reset function enables the computer ECU to match the current air suspension system information, thereby ensuring the normal damping effect of the vehicle when driving.

Application Scenarios:

• The shock absorber is not the same height due to air leakage, maintenance, replacement, etc.;
• After replacing the air pump assembly;
• After replacing the control computer ECU.

Windows Initialization

This function is to match the windows to restore the initial memory of the ECU and restore the automatic raising and lowering functions of the power window. Usually, when the vehicle window fails or after replacing the window glass, we need to use this function to initialize the car window.

Seat Match

This function is suitable for the matching of replacement and maintenance seats with memory functions. After the seat fails or is replaced or repaired, it is generally necessary to use this function to match the seat.

Cautions: Needed for cars with seats with memory function, general gasoline cars don’t need.

Headlight Adjustment

Refers to the adaptive front lighting system (when using bi-xenon headlights at night), it can be rotated to both sides, pressing the button means that they stay indirect light, and will not turn when you turn the steering wheel.

IMMO Service

An immobilizer is an anti-theft mechanism that prevents a vehicle’s engine from starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present. Most new vehicles have an immobilizer as standard equipment. An important advantage of this system is that it doesn’t require the car owner to activate it since it operates automatically. An immobilizer is considered to provide much more effective anti-theft protection than an audible alarm alone. As an anti-theft device, an immobilizer disables one of the systems needed to start a car’s engine, usually the ignition or the fuel supply. This is accomplished by radio frequency identification between a transponder in the ignition key and a device called a radio frequency reader in the steering column. When the key is placed in the ignition, the transponder sends a signal with a unique identification code to the reader, which relays it to a receiver in the vehicle’s computer control module. If the code is correct, the computer allows the fuel supply and ignition systems to operate and start the car. If the code is incorrect or absent, the computer disables the system, and the car will be unable to start until the correct key is placed in the ignition. To prevent the car from being used by unauthorized keys, the anti-theft key matching function must be performed so that the immobilizer control system on the car identifies and authorizes remote control keys to normally use the car. When the ignition switch key, ignition switch, combined instrument panel, ECU, BCM, or remote-control battery is replaced, anti-theft key matching must be performed. The IMMO service can disable a lost vehicle key and program the replacement key fob. One or more replacement key fobs can be programmed.

Note: Some models need to be used with an EEPROM adapter for IMMO service. The EEPROM adapter is not included in this product. Please purchase it separately if you need to use it.

Gear Learning

The crankshaft position sensor learns crankshaft tooth machining tolerance and saves to the computer to more accurately diagnose engine misfires. If tooth learning is not performed for a car equipped with a Delphi engine, the MIL turns on after the engine is started. The diagnostic device detects the DTC P1336 'tooth not learned'. In this case, you must use the diagnostic device to perform tooth learning for the car. After tooth learning is successful, the MIL turns off. This function can complete the self-learning of the gearbox and improve the quality of shifting. After the engine ECU, crankshaft position sensor, or crankshaft flywheel is replaced, or the DTC 'tooth not learned' is present, tooth learning must be performed.
