To prevent injuries or possible damage to the vehicles and decoder, read all safety instructions before operation. Retain this user guide for future reference.

• Always use this product in a safe environment.

• Always wear proper protective clothing and equipment when working on a vehicle.

• Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated area. Vehicle emissions are harmful to the human body.

• Place a block plate in front of the drive wheel during operation.

• Be careful when operating near the ignition wire and spark plug of ignition coil distributor cover. These components generate a dangerous voltage when the engine is running.

• Place the gearbox in PARK (automatic gearbox) or NEUTRAL (manual gearbox) and make sure the parking brake is enabled.

• Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment when ignition is on or engine is running.

• Always keep the code reader clean and dry. Wipe the code reader with a soft clean if necessary.

Application range of vehicle

This OBD II code reader is designed for all the vehicles that accord with OBD II standard. All the vehicles selling in USA as required by United States Environmental Protection Agency and 1996 newer (automobile) light trucks must be accorded with OBD II standard. Including all the domestic, Asian and European vehicles.

A small amount of 1994 and 1995 petrol vehicles are accord with OBD II standards. If you need to verify if a 1994-1995 vehicle complies, please check the vehicle emission control information (VECI) label. If the vehicle is compatible, then its label is marked with “OBD II certification”. In addition, the government laws and regulations require all the vehicles that are accorded with OBD II standard must have “General” 16 pin data link connector (DLC).

OBD II diagnosis

When the code reader detects multiple vehicle control modules, the system will prompt you to select the module that can retrieve the data. Power assembly control module [PCM] and gearbox control module [TCM] are the two most common options.

1. Turn off ignition switch.

2. Find the vehicle 16 pin data link connector (DLC)

3. Connect OBD II cable to vehicle DLC.

4. Turn on ignition.

5. Press Enter button to enter diagnostic menu. A series of OBD II protocol information will be displayed on the display screen, until the vehicle protocol is detected.

6. If the code reader cannot communicate with the vehicle ECU (engine control unit), “Connection error!” will be displayed on the display screen.

§ Confirm ignition switch is turned on.

§ Check if OBD II connector of decoder is connected to vehicle DLC;

§ Confirm the vehicle is accorded with OBD2 standard;

§ Turn off ignition switch and wait for 10 seconds. Turn on ignition switch again, repeat the steps in 5.

7. If “Connection error” information still appears and then it may a communication issue between the coder reader and the vehicle. Please cease use and contact help.Kogan.com for support.

WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment when vehicle ignition is on or engine is running.

8. After the system status (Diagnostic indicator state, diagnostic code counting, monitor state) is displayed, wait for several seconds or press any key to display the diagnostic menu.

Reading error codes

1. Press Up/Down button to select the read code from the diagnostic menu and then press Enter button.

2. If multiple modules are detected, the system will prompt you to select the module before testing.

3. The code reader will display the error code and a description of the issue.

Note: The diagnostic code order, total numbers of code to be detected and types of code (general or specified by manufacturer, storage or code to be processed) will be displayed on the upper right corner of screen.

4. If multiple error codes are detected press Up/Down buttons until all codes are all displayed.

10

5. If no errors are detected, “Code is not stored in module!” is displayed on the screen.
