A. Once the system successfully obtains the VIN (Vehicle Identication Number)

information of the currently identified vehicle, it will continue scanning the

vehicle systems. After the scanning is complete, a diagnostic report will be

automatically generated and sent to your email box (if bound).

B. If the tool failed to access the VIN information, the screen will display a

interface for VIN input.

Input the VIN, and tap “OK”, the system will automatically identify the vehicle

model. If the vehicle VIN is successfully decoded, it will perform auto-

diagnosis until a diagnostic report is automatically output. Otherwise it will

enter manual diagnosis mode. For details on manual diagnosis, see Chapter

5.2.2.

Note:

• The most recognizable location for this number is in the top left corner

on the vehicle’s dashboard. Other locations include the driver’s door

or post, and the rewall under the hood.

• In general, vehicle identification numbers are standardized - all

contain 17 characters. VIN characters may be capital letters A through

Z and numbers 1 through 0; however, the letters I, O and Q are never

used in order to avoid mistakes of misreading. No signs or spaces are

allowed in the VIN.
