Diagnostic Function

Can Bus Pin Detection

Detects the voltage of the OBD-II diagnostic connector pins and the supported protocol types, assisting in assessing the OBD-II diagnostic interface status.

CAN Analysis

Visually monitors vehicle CAN bus data, checks for issues within the CAN data, and assists in analyzing the root causes of faults.

Diagnostic Plan

Also known as fault-guided diagnostics, provides step-by-step prompts to assist in troubleshooting and fault detection.
