snowake button will display on the right side of the DTC item. The erase codes function
can be applied by tapping the button at the bottom of the screen. Clear DTC
Stored Codes
Stored codes are the current emission related DTCs from the ECM of the vehicle.
OBDII/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission severity with higher
priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. The priority of the code determines
the illumination of the MIL and the codes erase procedure. Manufacturers rank
codes dierently, so expect to see dierences between makes.
Pending Codes
These are codes whose setting conditions were met during the last drive cycle, but
need to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before the DTC actually
sets. The intended use of this service is to assist the service technician after a
vehicle repair and after clearin diagnostic information by reporting test results after g
a driving cycle.
a) If a test failed during the driving cycle, the DTC associated with that test is
reported. If the pending fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up
cycles, the fault is automatically cleared from memory.
b) Test results reported by this service do not necessarily indicate a faulty
component or system. If test results indicate another failure after additional
driving, then a DTC is set to indicate a faulty component or system and the MIL
is illuminated.
Figure 4- 18 Sample DTC & FFD Screen
40
Freeze
In most cases the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. Certain DTCs, which
have a greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher priority. In these cases,
the top prioritized DTC is the one for which the freeze records are retained. Freeze
data includes a snapshot of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is set.
Clear DTC
This option is used to clear all emission related diagnostic data, such as DTCs,
freeze frame data, and manufacturer specific enhanced data from the vehicle’s ECM.
A confirmation screen displays when the clear codes option is selected to prevent
accidental loss of data. Select Yes on the confirmation screen to continue or No to
exit.

Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Service
Steering Angle Sensor Calibration permanently stores the current steering wheel position
as the straight-ahead position in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. Therefore, the front
wheels and the steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead position before
calibration. In addition, the vehicle identification number (VIN) is also read from t he
instrument cluster and stored permanently in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. On
successful completion of calibration, the steering angle sensor fault memory is
automatically cleared.
Calibration must always be carried out after the following operation s:
Steering wheel replacement
Steering angle sensor replacement
Any maintenance that involves opening the connector hub from the steering angle
sensor to the column
Any maintenance or repair work on the steering linkage, steering gear or other
related mechanism
Wheel alignment or wheel track adjustment
Accident repairs where damage to the steering angle sensor or assembly, or any
part of the steering system may have occurred
NOTE
1. Autel accepts no responsibility for any accident or injury arising from servicing the
SAS system. When interpreting DTCs retrieved from the vehicle, always follow the
manufacturer s recommendation for repair.
2. All software screens shown in this manual are examples, actual test screens may
vary by test vehicle Pay attention to the menu titles and onscreen instructions to .
make correct option selections.
3. Before starting procedure, make sure vehicle has ESC. Look for button on dash.
Take as an example. Land Rover
1. Tap the application button the MaxiCOM Job Menu. Service on

diagnosis program, and solve the error before attempting SAS calibration again.
Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) Service
The Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) function manages DPF regeneration, DPF component
replacement teach-in and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit.
The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration. Cars
driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven
more with higher load and speed. In order for regeneration to take place, a prolonged
high exhaust temperature must be obtained.
In the event of the car being driven in such a way that regeneration is not possible, i.e.,
frequent short journeys, a diagnostic trouble code will eventually be registered in addition
to the DPF light and “Check Engine” indicators displaying. A service regeneration can be
requested in the workshop using the diagnostic tool.
Before performing a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the following items:
The fuel light is not on.
No DPF-relevant faults are stored in system.
The vehicle has the specified engine oil.
The oil for diesel is not contaminated.
IMPORTANT
Before diagnosing a problem vehicle and attempting to perform an emergency
regeneration, it is important to obtain a full diagnostic log and read out relevant measured
value blocks.
Figure 5- 20 Sample SAS Function Screen 2
55
NOTE
1. The DPF will not regenerate if the engine management light is on, or there is a faulty
EGR valve.
2. The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and when topping up the fuel
additive Eolys.
3. If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a DPF service, a second person
is needed for the function. One person should drive the vehicle while the other
person observes the screen on the Tool. Do not attempt to drive and observe the
scan tool at the same time. This is dangerous and puts your life and the lives of other
motors and pedestrians at risk.
