4 Diagnostics The Diagnostics application can retrieve ECU information, read & erase DTCs, and view live data. The Diagnostics application can access the electronic control unit (ECU) for various vehicle control systems, including engine, transmission, antilock brake system (ABS), airbag system (SRS). Establishing Vehicle Communication The Diagnostics operations require connecting the MK808BT Diagnostic Platform to the test vehicle through the MaxiVCI Mini.
VCI Connection The MaxiVCI Mini Power LED will light solid green when properly connected to the vehicle and ready to establish communication with the tablet. The wireless diagnostic interface MaxiVCI Mini supports 2 communication methods with the tablet, wireless BT and USB. BT Connection BT pairing is recommended as the first choice for the communication between the tablet and the MaxiVCI Mini. The working range for BT communication is about 33 feet (about 10 m), enabling remote vehicle diagnostics.
check-ups: Check if the MaxiVCI Mini is powered up. Check if the MaxiVCI Mini is properly positioned. Check if the Connection LED on the MaxiVCI Mini is illuminated for BT or USB. In case of BT connection, check if the network is configured correctly, or if the right MaxiVCI Mini has been paired up with the tablet. If during the diagnosis process, the communication is suddenly interrupted due to the loss of signal, check if there is any object that causes signal interruption.
