6.1 Vehicle diagnostics
To start a diagnostic session with the vehicle, a connection must be established between
the VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) and the vehicle. This can be done either using
the supplied VCI-tester connecting cable or via WLAN. The VCI hardware adapts
automatically to the PT3 via the cable. If the VCI is to be operated using WLAN, the VCI
must first be configured using the supplied VCI base station and the WLAN adapter with
the cable must be replaced on the VCI. The procedure for configuring the VCI with the
tester is described under ‚System - VCI configuration‛.
