4 Diagnostic Operation
The diagnostic program establishes a data connection with the vehicle ECU through the
diagnostic main cable, and can read ECU information, view fault codes, check data flow
parameters, and perform actuation tests. Diagnostic applications can access the ECUs
(Electronic Control Units) of multiple vehicle control systems such as engine, transmission,
anti-lock braking system (ABS), etc.

4.1 Establishing Vehicle Communications

a) Attach the diagnostic main cable (Some functions require appropriate adapters or other
accessories. Please refer to software operating instructions for detailed operations) to
the vehicle’s diagnostic socket for power supply and communication.
b) Ready to diagnose and service the vehicle.

4.1.1 Connecting to the Vehicle

Based on the different configuration of the vehicle, the methods for connecting the intelligent
ECU flasher tool and the vehicle diagnostic socket are divided into the following two types:
a) Vehicles compatible with the OBD II management system communicate and are
powered with 12V through a standard SAE J1962 diagnostic socket.
b) Vehicles that are not compatible with the OBD II management system communicate
through a non-standard diagnostic socket and, in some cases, are powered with 12V by
a power adapter of the intelligent ECU flasher tool or the vehicle battery.
◆Connecting to an OBD II Vehicle
Connecting to an OBD II vehicle only requires the use of the test main cable, no other
connectors are required.
Connection method:
a) Connect the male connector of the main diagnostic cable to the intelligent ECU flasher
tool and tighten the captive screw.
b) Attach the 16-pin connector of the main test cable to the vehicle diagnostic socket. For
the location of the socket, you can refer to the help data in the diagnostic software.
◆Connecting to a Non-OBD II Vehicle
9
Connecting to a non-OBD II vehicle requires a combination of the test main cable and a
vehicle-specific adapter.
Non-OBD II vehicle connections can have the following two connection scenarios:
a) The diagnostic interface connection provides communication and power.
b) The diagnostic interface can only communicate, and needs to be connected to a power
adapter of the intelligent ECU flasher tool or the vehicle battery to obtain power
(preferred).
Connection method:
a) Connect the male connector of the main diagnostic cable to the intelligent ECU flasher
tool and tighten the captive screw.
b) Find a vehicle-specific diagnostic connector and connect its 16-pin female connector to
the male connector of the main test cable.
c) Connect the connected dedicated diagnostic connector to the vehicle diagnostic socket.

4.1.2 Communication Failure Prompt

If the intelligent ECU flasher tool cannot establish normal communication, the screen will show
a communication failure prompt message and provide corresponding inspection instructions.
Possible causes of this issue are as follows:
a. The ignition is not turned on.
b. The main cable is not well connected.
c. Faulty vehicle, data cable, or connector wiring.
d. The battery is exhausted.
e. The vehicle is not equipped with the selected system.

4.2 Diagnostic Procedure

Connect the intelligent ECU flasher tool to the vehicle via the test main cable -> Register (see
Personal Center section for details) -> Log in (see Personal Center section for details) ->
Download/Upgrade diagnostic software –> Select functions and models –> Execute the
diagnosis –> Complete diagnostics and exit.

NOTE: Before exiting or closing the diagnostic application, you must first exit the diagnostic
operation interface and terminate all communication between the intelligent ECU flasher tool
and the vehicle. As communication interruption may cause damage to the vehicle ECU, it is
necessary to ensure that the test main cable is well connected with the intelligent ECU flasher
tool and the vehicle in the process of diagnostic communication, and make sure you have
exited all diagnostic communications before disconnecting the diagnosis main cable or
turning off the tool.
