Automatic diagnosis: one tap and it explains

Where: Remote sessions › Diagnosis › Automatic diagnosis, and in the app, Vehicles › Diagnose

1. Plug the ECO-LITE into the diagnostic connector, switch on the ignition and tap “Diagnose”.
2. Detect vehicle: the tool listens to the vehicle and tries, in this order and only with read requests, CAN (500 and 250 kbit/s), K-line, J1850 if your tool has it, J1939 on heavy vehicles and DoIP if there is Ethernet. It takes a few seconds.
3. Identify: the VIN fills in the vehicle sheet (make, model, year and engine). Without a VIN you see what could be deduced: protocol, control units and vehicle type.
4. Read control units: the tool reads the faults of every control unit, the inspection readiness and the key data. Meanwhile you see live what the tool is doing, with a progress bar: the protocol it found, whether it has the VIN and the control unit it is reading (for example, “Reading control unit 5 of 12: …”).
5. Result: a traffic light (all good, some things to check or serious faults) and the list of problems with their severity, what each one means and what to do.

• Motorcycles: for a motorcycle the result adds “Your motorcycle”: the connector and how to wire it to the tool, the protocol and, for reading faults, live data, clearing faults and service, which procedure does it and what is missing. It is chosen from the make, model, year and what the motorcycle answered (Hondas too, over their K-Line). No motorcycle procedure has been tested on a real motorcycle yet.
• If nothing is detected, check the connector and the ignition, choose the vehicle type and tap “Read anyway”.
• If the tool sends no news for a while (poor coverage, for example), the screen says so and keeps waiting: the result still arrives.
• If your tool cannot handle something (J1850, J1708 or DoIP), you are told and the tool that can is recommended.
• From the result you can clear the faults (with confirmation and the second factor), see the full report and sign it, ask a workshop or expert for help and see the recommended procedures for that vehicle.
• Each step stays in the list of reads as an ordinary read. If you prefer to choose the vehicle type yourself, use “Read vehicle”.
