Diagnostics
By establishing a data link to the electronic control units of the vehicle being
serviced directly, the Diagnostics application allows you to retrieve ECU
information, read & erase DTCs, view live data, and perform active tests. The
Diagnostics application can access the electronic control unit (ECU) for
various vehicle control systems, such as engine, transmission, antilock brake
system (ABS), airbag system (SRS) and more.
Getting Started
The Diagnostics operations require connecting the MaxiDAS DS808TS
Display Tablet to the test vehicle’s DLC using the main cable.
