Diagnostics Operations Establishing Vehicle Communication

communication is about 164 feet (about 50 m); this means you can perform

vehicle diagnosis freely around the workshop with greater convenience.

If you use more than one VCI device to connect to the test vehicles, you can

perform vehicle diagnosis on various vehicles conveniently, by pairing the

Display Tablet separately to each of the VCI devices connected to the different

test vehicles, via wireless BT, without the need to repeat the plugging and

unplugging procedure, which is unavoidable through traditional wired

connection, thus saves you more time and provides more efficiency.

 To pair up the Display Tablet with the MaxiVCI V100 via BT

1. If not already done, power up the Display Tablet.

2. Select the VCI Manager application from the MaxiSys Job Menu.

of the transmitter is too weak to be detected. In this case, try to get closer

to the device, or reposition the VCI device, and remove all possible

objects that cause signal interference. When these are done, tap the

Scan button at the top right corner to start searching again.

4. The device name appeared on the Display Tablet may display as

Maxi suffixed with a serial number. Select the required device for

pairing.

5. When paring is successfully done, the connection status displayed

to the right of the device name is shown as Paired.

6. Wait for a few seconds, and the VCI button on the system

Navigation bar at the bottom of the screen shall display a green tick

icon, and the Connection Mode LED on the MaxiVCI V100

illuminates solid blue, indicating the Display Tablet is connected to

the VCI device, and is ready to perform vehicle diagnosis.

Refer to 11.1 BT Pairing on page 96 for additional information.

USB Cable Connection
