    1.Safety Precautions and Warnings
    To Prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles or the Car Tool, read this instruction
    manual first and observe the following safety precautions.
    1.When an engine is running, it produces carbon monoxide, a toxic and poisonous gas. To prevent
    serious injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning ,operate the vehicle ONLY in a well-
    ventilated area.

    2.To protect your eyes from propelled objects as well as hot or caustic liquids, always wear approved
    safety eye protection.

    3. Keep cigarettes, sparks, open flame and other sources of ignition away from vehicle. Keep a dry
    chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher rated for gasoline, chemical and electrical fires in work area.

    4.Connecting or disconnecting test equipment when the ignition is ON can damage test equipment
    and the ignition OFF before connecting the Code Reader to or disconnecting the Code Reader from
    the vehicle’s Data Link Connector(DLC).

    5.To prevent damage to the on-board computer when taking vehicle electrical measurements.
    always use a digital multi meter with at least 10megOhms of impedance.

    6.Keep the car Tool clean, dry and free from oil, water and grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean
    cloth to clean the outside of the Scan Tool, when necessary.

    2. General OBD-II Information


    2.1 What is OBD-II?
    OBD-II stands for On-Board Diagnostics, II generation. It is a set of documents issued by SAE and
    ISO, which describe the interchange of digital information between on-board emission-related
    Electronic Control Units (ECUs) of road vehicles and an OBD-II scan tool. OBD-II also commonly
    refers to the physical on-boa- 1 -diagnostic system of a vehicle, which consists of an ECU (or
    multiple ECUs), Malfunction Indicator Light(MIL), Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC), and the wiring
    that connect the different elements.

    2.2 How do I know whether my car is OBD-II compliant?


    There are several ways.
    1996 or newer model year vehicle sold in the United States
    United States legislation requires all cars and light trucks model year (MY) 1996 and newer to be
    OBD-II compliant. More information is available on the EPA's website.
    2001 or newer model year gasoline vehicle sold in the European Union
    Commission Directive 70/220/EEC, Annex I:
    Vehicles with positive-ignition engines
    With effect from 1 January 2000 for new types and from 1 January 2001 for all types, vehicles of
    category M1, except vehicles the maximum mass of which exceeds 2500 kg, and vehicles of
    category N1 class I, must be fitted with an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system for emission control
    in accordance with Annex XI. [...]
    Note that here "European Union" means countries which were members of the EU in 2000.
    2004 or newer model year diesel vehicle sold in the European Union
    Commission Directive 70/220/EEC, Annex I:
    Vehicles with compression-ignition engines
    Vehicles of category M1, except
    - vehicles designed to carry more than six occupants including the driver,
    - vehicles whose maximum mass exceeds 2500 kg,
    from 1 January 2003 for new types and from 1 January 2004 for all types, must be fitted with an
    1
    www.autopribor.ru
    on-board diagnostic (OBD) system for emission control in accordance with Annex XI. Note that here
    "European Union" means countries which were members of the EU in 2003.
    Other vehicles
    If your vehicle does not fall into any of the above categories, look under the hood and try to locate a label
    (Fig. 1) that explicitly states that the vehicle was designed to comply with OBD-II legislation.

    Fig. 1 - Vehicle Emission Control Information Label In this case, OBD-II


    is used as a general term and can mean any of the following: OBD II (California ARB) EOBD
    (European OBD) JOBD (Japanese OBD)
    You may also consult your vehicle's owner's manual and perhaps contact your local dealer. However, be
    aware of the fact that many dealers do not know the difference between OBD and OBD-II.
    If the vehicle is not OBD-II compliant, you cannot use a generic OBD-II scan tool such as U480 to obtain
    diagnostic information from your vehicle.
    But my car has the 16-pin OBD connector, shouldn't it be OBD-II compliant?
    No, not necessarily. A lot of European and Asian manufacturers equipped their vehicles with D-shaped 16-
    pin connectors long before they began installing OBD-II systems on those vehicles. One curious thing to note
    here is the fact that most non-EOBD compliant vehicles had a DLC that does not fully conform to SAE J1979.
    Compare figures 2 and 3, and notice the "ears" on the non-EOBD compliant Ford Focus.

    2.3 Which OBD-II protocol is supported by my vehicle?


    All cars and light trucks built for sale in the United States after 1996 are required to be OBD-II
    compliant. The European Union OBD legislation is somewhat more complicated.
    An OBD-II compliant vehicle can use any of the five communication protocols: J1850 PWM, J1850
    VPW, ISO9141-2, ISO14230-4 (also known as Keyword Protocol 2000), and more recently,
    ISO15765-4/SAE J2480 (a "flavor" of CAN). US car manufacturers were not allowed to use CAN
    until model year 2003.
    There are two types of diagnostic link connectors (DLCs) defined by SAE J1962 - Type A and Type

    2

    B, shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively. The main difference between the two connectors is in the shape of
    the alignment tab.

    Location - According to J1962,Type A DLC "shall be located in the passenger or driver's compartment in the
    area bounded by the driver's end of the instrument panel to 300 mm (~1 ft) beyond the vehicle centerline,
    attached to the instrument panel and easy to access from the driver's seat. The preferred locati - . . - s
    between the steering column and the vehicle centerline."

    Type B DLC "shall be located in the passenger or driver's compartment in the area bounded by the driver's
    end of the instrument panel, including the outer side, and an imagined line 750 mm (~2.5 ft) beyond the
    vehicle centerline. It shall be attached to the instrument panel and easy to access from the driver's seat or
    from the Co-drivers seat or from the outside. The vehicle connector shall be mounted to facilitate mating and
    unmating."

    Fig.2 - J1962 Vehicle Connector, Type B (courtesy of SAE)


    As a general rule, you can determine which protocol your vehicle is using by looking at the pinout of the DLC:

    .
    www.autopribor.ru
    The following table explains how to determine the protocol:

    Pin 2 Pin 6 Pin 7 Pin 10 Pin 14 Pin 15 Standard

    must have must have J 1850 PWM

    must have J1850 VPW


    must have may have* ISO9141/14230
    must have must have ISO15765 (CAN)
    *Pin 15 (also called the "L-line") is optional in newer vehicles that use the ISO9141-2 or ISO14230-4 protocols.

    In addition to pins 2, 7, 10, and 15, the connector should have pins 4 (Chassis Ground), 5 (Signal Ground), and
    16 (Battery Positive). This means that:

    PWM The connector must have pins 2, 4, 5, 10, and 16

    VPW The connector must have pins 2, 4, 5, and 16, but not 10.

    ISO The connector must have pins 4, 5, 7, and 16. Pin 15 may or may not be present.

    CAN The connector must have pins 4, 5, 6, 14, and 16.

    4.2 Read codes:
    1. the trouble codes function read DTCs from the vehicle's computer modules there tow types of codes,
    Malfunction Indicator Lamp(MIL) Codes and pending codes MIL Codes: These codes cause the
    computer to illuminate the MIL when an emission related or driveability fault occurs. The MIL is also
    known as the “service Engine Soon” or “Check Engine Lamp”. MIL codes remain in the vehicle’s
    memory until the fault is repaired.

    2. Pending Codes: These codes are also referred as “continuous monitor” and
    “maturing codes”. An intermittent fault will cause the computer to store a
    code in memory. If the fault does not occur within 40 warm-up cycles, the
    code will be cleared from memory.If the fault occurs a specific number of
    times,the code will mature into a DTC and the MIL will turn on.

    3. Select Trouble codes and press ENTER, The U581 retrives the DTCs stored
    in the vehicle's computer modules.

    ▲ if there are no trouble codes, it will display “NO CODES ARE FOUND”
