2. Esborrar codis

After performing repairs, you can use this function to clear the DTCs and turn off the Check Engine Light (MIL).

1. Al menú principal, seleccioneu "Esborrar codis".
2. Confirmeu l'acció quan se us demani.
3. The Check Engine Light should turn off if the issue has been resolved.

3. Preparació I/M

This function checks if the various emission-related systems on the vehicle are operating correctly and are ready for inspection and maintenance testing.

1. From the main menu, select "I/M Readiness".
2. The scanner will display the status of various monitors (e.g., Misfire, Fuel System, Comprehensive Component).
3. A "Ready" status indicates the system has completed its self-test.

4. Flux de dades

View live data parameters from the vehicle's sensors in real-time. This can help identify intermittent problems or verify repairs. The OM129 records live data stream (PID) for deeper diagnostic analysis.

1. From the main menu, select "Data Stream".
2. Choose the parameters you wish to monitor (e.g., Engine RPM, Vehicle Speed, Coolant Temperature).
3. The data can be displayed numerically or graphically for easier analysis.

5. Congelar fotograma

When an emission-related fault occurs, the vehicle's computer stores a "freeze frame" of data, capturing the operating conditions at the moment the fault was detected. This helps in diagnosing the root cause of engine failure.

1. Al menú principal, seleccioneu "Imatge congelada".
2. Review the recorded parameters such as engine load, coolant temperature, and RPM at the time of the fault.

6. Prova del sensor d'O2

This function monitors and tests the operation of oxygen sensors to identify issues that may affect fuel efficiency and vehicle emissions.

1. From the main menu, select "O2 Sensor Test".
2. The scanner will display the O2 sensor readings, allowing you to assess their performance.

7. Prova del sistema EVAP

Initiate a leak test for the vehicle's Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP system) to detect leaks that can cause emissions problems.

1. From the main menu, navigate to "Test or Component" and select "Evap System Test".
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to perform the test.

8. Prova de la bateria

The OM129 can perform a professional battery test, collecting real-time voltage data and analyzing the battery's health. This helps identify battery aging or alternator malfunctions.

1. From the main menu, select "BAT" (Battery).
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, which may include turning the ignition off.
3. The device will display the current voltage and a graphical analysis of the battery's health.

Voltage Directrius:

• Before Ignition:
  • <10.8V: Battery voltage too low, may need replacement.
  • 10.8V-11.8V: Slightly low voltage, may be difficult to start.
  • 11.8V-12.8V: Normal battery voltage, good condition.
• After Ignition:
  • 12.8V-13.2V: Battery voltage too low, alternator might not be charging effectively.
  • 13.2V-14.8V: Normal battery voltage, normal alternator charging.
  • >14.8V: Voltage too high, potential overcharging issue.

Resolució de problemes

This section addresses common issues you might encounter while using the AUTOPHIX OM129. If you cannot determine the problem, you can record the diagnostic data and consult a mechanic.

• El dispositiu no s'encén: Ensure the OBD2 connector is securely plugged into the vehicle's OBD2 port. The device draws power directly from the vehicle. Check the vehicle's battery if the issue persists.
• "Link Error" message: This indicates a communication problem with the vehicle's ECU. Verify the connection, ensure the ignition is on (engine off), and check if your vehicle is OBD2 compliant (most vehicles after 1996 in the US, 2002 in EU, and 2008 in Asia are).
• Cannot clear codes: Codes can only be cleared if the underlying fault has been resolved. If the fault is still present, the codes will reappear. Ensure the ignition is on (engine off) when attempting to clear codes.
• Inaccurate battery test results: Ensure the battery terminals are clean and securely connected. Perform the test with the engine off for accurate readings.
