Read Codes menu lets you read trouble codes found in the control unit.
There are 4 types of code status:
● Present/Permanent/Current
● Pending
● History
● Self-diagnostic
Present/Permanent/Current codes stored in a control module are used to
help identify the cause of a trouble or troubles with a vehicle. These codes
have occurred a specific number of times and indicate a problem that
requires repair.
Pending codes are also referred to as maturing codes that indicate
intermittent faults. If the fault does not occur within a certain number of drive
cycles (depending on vehicle), the code clears from memory. If a fault occurs
35
a specific number of times, the code matures into a DTC and the MIL
illuminates or blinks.
History codes are also referred to as past codes that indicate intermittent
DTCs that are not currently active. Code history is number of engines starts
since DTC(s) were first detected (to see if they are current or intermittent).
Self-diagnostic lets you manually activate system tests that check for DTCs.

automatically goes off.
6.5 Throttle Body Alignment (TPS/TBA)

It’s very common to see a customer pull into the shop with a Volkswagen or
Audi that just will not idle correctly. One of the possible causes is that the
throttle position is not known. When the motion range is not known, the ECU
49
simply has no idea where to set the throttle. The ECU must know the full
range of motion of the throttle in order for it to properly control the engine.
Using the throttle position sensors in the throttle body, the ECU learns the full
open and full closed positions through various states (idle, part throttle, WOT)
known as a Throttle Body Alignment (TBA).
6.6 Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration

SAS Calibration menu let you perform calibration of the Steering Angle
Sensor, which permanently stores the current steering wheel position as

This function is used to reset the compensation code and initialize the ECT
after a solenoid valve or valve body assembly has been replaced.
6.8 Gear Learning

The crankshaft position sensor learns crankshaft tooth machining tolerance
and saves to the computer to more accurately diagnose engine misfires. If
tooth learning is not performed for a car equipped with Delphi engine, the MIL
turns on after the engine is started. The diagnostic device detects the DTC P
1336 'tooth not learned'. In this case, you must the diagnostic device to
perform tooth learning for the car. After tooth learning is successful, the MIL
turns off.
After the engine ECU, crankshaft position sensor, or crankshaft flywheel is
replaced, or the DTC 'tooth not learned' is present, tooth learning must be
performed.
6.9 TPMS Relearn

After the tire pressure MIL turns on and maintenance is performed, the tire
pressure resetting function must be performed to reset tire pressure and turn
off the tire pressure MIL.
6.10 Injector Coding

Write injector actual code or rewrite code in the ECU to the injector code of
the corresponding cylinder so as to more accurately control or correct
cylinder injection quantity. After the ECU or injector is replaced, injector code
50
of each cylinder must be confirmed or re-coded so that the cylinder can better
identify injectors to accurately control fuel injection.
6.11 ABS Bleeding

Anytime the brake system is opened to replace components such as calipers,
wheel cylinders, the master cylinder, or brake lines or hoses, air gets inside.
The air has to be removed by bleeding the brakes if you want a firm brake
pedal. Air trapped in the lines, calipers or wheel cylinders will make the pedal
feel soft and spongy. Air is compressible, so when the brakes are applied any
air bubbles in the system must first be compressed before the hydraulic fluid
will transmit pressure to apply the brakes.
