Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Service
This service function allows you to perform calibration for the Steering Angle
Sensor, which permanently stores the current steering wheel position as the
straight-ahead position in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. On successful
completion of the calibration, the steering angle sensor fault memory is
automatically cleared.
DPF Regeneration Service
The Diesel Particulate Filter service function performs the regeneration
procedure which is the DPF cleaning operation to clear the blockage through
continuous burning of the particulate matter captured in the DPF filter. If the
DPF light on the vehicle comes on and you successfully complete a DPF
regeneration cycle, you will notice that the DPF light will automatically turn off.
4.8 Generic OBD II Operations
A fast-access option for OBD II/EOBD vehicle diagnosis is available on the
Vehicle Menu screen (Figure 4-1). This option presents a quick way to check
for DTCs, isolate the cause of an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL),
check monitor status prior to emissions certification testing, verify repairs, and
perform a number of other services that are emissions-related. The OBD
direct access option is also used for testing OBD II/EOBD compliant vehicles
that are not included in the Diagnostics database.
Functions of the diagnostics toolbar buttons at the top of the screen are the
same as those available for specific vehicle diagnostics. See Table 4-2
Diagnostics Toolbar Buttons on page 29 for details.
4.8.1 General Procedure
To access the OBD II/EOBD diagnostics functions
1. Tap the Diagnostics application button from the MaxiSys Job
Menu. The Vehicle Menu displays.
2. Tap the EOBD button. There are two options to establish
communication with the vehicle.
Auto Scan – When this option is selected the diagnostic tool
attempts to establish communication using each protocol in
order to determine which one the vehicle is broadcasting on.
