5 Diagnosis
The tablet supports three kinds of diagnosis methods: Smart Diagnosis (AutoDetect),
Manual Diagnosis and remote diagnosis (Tech 2 Tech).
5.1 Intelligent Diagnosis (AutoDetect)
Through simple Wi-Fi communication between the tablet and SmartLink 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 performing the
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.
