After the scanner is connected to the vehicle and paired with PS80 mainframe via wired or wireless connection, diagnosis can be performed. The diagnostic interface is as shown below: 4.1.2.
PS80 Diagnosis System 4.2. Test Functions 4.2.1. Using VW as an example, select Diagnosis, then select EUROPE. Choose the VW word. If the word is not showing on the screen, please swipe up or down to display it. PLEASE NOTE: Different vehicles have different menus and systems. Common main function menu includes the following options: Read ECU: This function is to read the ECU version information, which is the equivalent of “System Identification” or “System Information” in some electronic control systems.
PS80 Diagnosis System This will allow you to read ECU related software and hardware versions, models and production date of diesel engine, part number, etc. Read DTCs: read the trouble codes that are stored in the ECU. Clear DTCs: clear current and historical trouble codes memory in ECU. The trouble codes can not be erased without eliminating the fault that the code relates to. TIP: Save or print the currently stored fault codes before clearing them to provide help in the case of an intermittent fault.
PS80 Diagnosis System 4.3. Read ECU This function is used to read ECU version information, which is the equivalent of “System Identification” or “System Information” in some electronic control systems. This will allow you to read ECU related software and hardware versions, models and production date of diesel engine, part number, etc. shown below: 4.4. Read DTCs Select Read Fault Codes to read the trouble codes stored in the ECU.
PS80 Diagnosis System Tip: In the process of diagnosis, if the device shows “System is OK” or “No Trouble Code”, it indicates that the ECU has not detected a fault in any of the circuits that it monitors. If there is a fault which is not being recorded it may be that the fault is with a part of the system not under the control of ECU, such as a mechanical system fault.
PS80 Diagnosis System 4.5.2. Click YES to confirm the operation, if the communication is normal, it will show “Trouble Codes Successfully Cleared” or “Trouble Codes Cleared”. Generally, users will need to re-read trouble codes after clearing them to confirm that the trouble codes have been cleared. 4.6. Read Live Data System control units or ECUs send out operating parameters and working status of various components in the form of an Electronic Signal, here Electronic Signal refers to Live Data.
PS80 Diagnosis System Tip: Live Data is important function that can be used to help technicians further diagnose a problem. This function requires technicians to be familiar with sensor data of each system, control signals and control modes. Tip: Save known good live data readings for comparison. (The following are some test conditions and typical values of common live data) Normal Test Items Unit Test Conditions & Typical Values Data 1.Engine Speed rpm 0-6000 Engine warmed-up: 750-850rpm 2.
