5 Diagnosis
X-431 Throttle supports two kinds of diagnosis methods: Smart Diagnosis
(AutoDetect) and Manual Diagnosis.
5.1 Intelligent Diagnosis (AutoDetect)
Through simple Bluetooth communication between the X-431 Throttle handset
and VCI device, you can easily get the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
information of the currently identified vehicle. Once the VIN is successfully
identified, the system will retrieve it from the remote server and then guide you to
vehicle information page without the necessity of step-by-step manual menu
selection.
The vehicle information page lists all historical diagnostic records of the vehicle,
which lets the technician have a total command of the vehicle faults. In addition,
a quick dial to local diagnosis and diagnostic function are also available on this
page for reducing the roundabout time and increasing productivity.
Notes:
•
Before using this function, please make sure the VCI device is properly connected to
the vehicle’s DLC. For detailed connection, see Chapter 4.3.3 “Vehicle
Connection”.
•
A stable network connection is required for this function.

1. Tap “Diagnose” on the Diagnostics function module and tap “AutoDetect” to
