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

6.2.2.

Notes:

• 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.

5.2.2 Manual Diagnosis

If the tool can not obtain the VIN information, you can also perform vehicle

diagnosis manually. In this mode, you need to execute the menu-driven

command and then follow the on-screen instruction to proceed.
