Maximus 4.0 supports three kinds of diagnosis approaches: Smart Diagnosis (MaxVIN),
Manual Diagnosis and Remote Diagnosis.
Maximus VINSCAN:
Through simple Wi-Fi communication between the Maximus 4.0 tablet and VCI dongle, 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 (Early model may need manual selection.).
Remote Diagnosis:
This option aims to help repair shops or professional technicians launch instant messaging
and remote diagnosis, making the repair job getting fixed faster.
Manual Diagnosis:
In this mode, you have to diagnose a vehicle by performing the menu-driven command
manually.
For new users, please follow the operation chart shown below to get familiar with and start
using this tool.

If the power supply on vehicle diagnostic socket is insufficient or the power pin is damaged,
you can get power in the following ways:
1. Locate Vehicle’s DLC Port
The DLC (Data Link Connector) is typically a connector
where diagnostic code readers interface with the
vehicle's on-board computer.
For commercial vehicles, it is generally located in the
driver's cab.
For passenger cars, it is usually located on driver’s side,
about 12 inches away from the center of dashboard. See
Figure DLC Location.
2. Vehicle Connection
DLC Location
If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the exact location.
