4.1 Intelligent Diagnostics Workflow

The LAUNCH X431 PRO3 (V+) V5.0 offers a streamlined 4-step diagnostic process:

1. Access (AutoVIN Instant ID): Plug the scanner into the OBD port. The device automatically reads the VIN, identifying the vehicle model, year, installed ECUs, powertrain type, and bus protocol (CAN, CAN-FD, or DoIP).
2. Locate (One-Touch Full System Scan + Topology Map): Tap 'Scan' to perform a parallel scan of all accessible ECUs (e.g., CEM, ECM, TCM, SRS, ABS, TPMS). A color-coded fault list appears, with critical items at the top. The 'Topology Map' provides a live network diagram showing ECU connections and communication paths, helping to trace faults to specific components.
3. Analyze (Freeze Frame + Live Data + Active Tests):
   • Freeze-Frame Snapshots: Captures engine speed, battery voltage, coolant temp, and other values at the moment a DTC is set.
   • Live Data Streams: Monitors over 500 parameters in real-time with graphs and user-defined alarms.
   • Ujian Aktif: Commands actuators (e.g., injectors, ABS pumps) to verify mechanical response.
4. Report & Fix (Automatic Report + Clear DTCs): A diagnostic PDF report is automatically generated, summarizing DTCs, freeze-frame details, and recommended parts/labor tips. After repairs, clear codes with a single tap and re-scan to confirm parameters are within range and turn off warning lights.

4.2 Topology Mapping

Topology Mapping provides a visual representation of a vehicle's electronic control system, allowing you to understand how ECUs are connected and how data flows between them. This feature helps in rapid fault isolation:

• Pinpoint Problems: Visually traces faults to exact spots like damaged wires or sensor glitches when an ECU is not communicating properly.
• Penyelesaian Masalah Mudah: Offers a clear picture of the communication network, auto-checking over 30 systems in minutes.
• Color-coded Labels: Lines indicate active (green), faulty (red), or weak (dashed) connections, making issues easy to spot.

4.3 Pengekodan ECU

ECU coding involves changing software parameters within a vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to customize vehicle behavior without hardware changes. The LAUNCH X431 PRO3 (V+) V5.0 supports both online and offline coding:

• Make Adaptation: Enables single hardware modules to support multiple vehicle configurations (e.g., adjusting headlight logic).
• Brush Hidden Functions: Uncovers preset functions hidden by the manufacturer (e.g., disabling seatbelt warnings, changing dashboard brightness).
• Pematuhan Peraturan: Levels up emission standards or enables region-specific features.
• ECU Fault Resolution: Resets error codes triggered by part replacements (e.g., SAS recalibration).

Online & Offline ECU Coding:

• Pengekodan Dalam Talian: Cloud server saves data, sends automatic instructions, and requires simple 'Yes'/'No' selections.
• Offline Coding (Variant Coding): Allows manual coding steps for more customization and detailed process control.

ECU Coding Backup/Recovery: You can copy existing codes from a control module, save them as a file, and restore them if needed.

Pemasangan Modul Boleh Atur Cara (PMI): This routine allows you to copy the 'personality' of an old module onto a new one, automating the process of reading data, downloading calibration files, flashing, and running self-tests.

4.4 Active Tests (Bi-directional Control)

Active Tests allow you to fully control vehicle systems and components by sending commands to check their input and output. This helps pinpoint faults quickly:

• Operasi: In the system diagnostics interface, choose 'Action Test', select the desired test, and follow prompts. The scanner sends commands to the ECU to operate actuators and displays results.
• Liputan: Covers most system-related actuators, including fans, lights, horn, doors, windows, brakes, throttle, A/C, clutches, mirrors, cameras, pumps, and valves.
• Faedah: Reduces diagnostic time by 50% and lowers misdiagnosis rates by 10% by allowing direct component testing.
