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 as
below:
Fig. 5-2
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.
*Notes:
The most recognizable locaon for this number is in the top le corner on
the vehicle’s dashboard. Other locations include the drivers 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 leers A through Z and numbers
1 through 0; however, the leers I, O and Q are never used in order to avoid
mistakes of misreading. No signs or spaces are allowed in the VIN.
