Essential OBDII Functions for Accurate Diagnosis
The i900 offers core OBDII functionalities, including:
- Read and Erase Codes: Retrieve and clear generic (P0, P2, P3, U0), manufacturer-specific (P1, P3, U1), and pending codes, turning off the Check Engine Light (MIL) and resetting monitors. This allows you to identify the source of the problem and verify repairs.
- I/M Readiness: Check the status of the vehicle’s emissions systems and their readiness for Inspection and Maintenance testing. This ensures compliance with emissions regulations.
- Live Data Stream: Read live PCM DataStream with a blazing fast refresh rate and view it in color graphing for better analysis and real-time monitoring of vehicle performance. This allows you to observe sensor readings and system operations in real-time.
- Freeze Frame Data: Capture a snapshot of the vehicle’s operating conditions at the time an emission-related fault occurred. This helps pinpoint the root cause of intermittent issues.
- O2 Sensor Test: Retrieve and view the results of the most recently performed O2 sensor tests from the vehicle’s onboard computer. This aids in diagnosing emissions-related problems.
- On-Board Monitoring: Read the results of on-board diagnostic monitoring tests for specific components and systems. This enables targeted troubleshooting.
- Evap System Test: Initiate a leak test for the vehicle’s EVAP system to identify leaks in the fuel vapor recovery system. Consult the vehicle’s service repair manual for proper test procedures.
- Vehicle Information: Access the vehicle identification number (VIN), calibration verification number (CVN), and other essential vehicle information.
