Safety Information

For your own safety and the safety of others, and to prevent damage to the device and vehicles upon which it is used, it is important that the safety instructions presented throughout this manual be read and understood by all persons operating or coming into contact with the device.

There are various procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing vehicles, as well as in the skill of the person doing the work. Because of the vast number of test applications and variations in the products that can be tested with this equipment, we cannot possibly anticipate or provide advice or safety messages to cover every circumstance. It is the auto- motive technician’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of the system being tested. It is cru- cial to use proper service methods and test procedures. It is essential to perform tests in an appropriate and acceptable manner that does not endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work area, the device being used, or the vehicle being tested.Before using the device, always refer to and follow the safety messages and applicable test procedures provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or equipment being tested. Use the device only as described in this manual. Read, understand, and follow all safety messages and instructions in this manual.

Safety Messages

Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the hazard level.

⚠️Danger

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.

Warning

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.

Safety Instructions

The safety messages herein cover situations VDIAGTOOL is aware of. VDIAGTOOL cannot know, evaluate or advise you as to all of the possible hazards. You must be certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not jeopardize your personal safety.

Danger

When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system.

Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life.

Safety Warnings

● Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.

● Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.

● Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.

● Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area, for exhaust gases are poisonous.

● Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.

● Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while testing.

● Be extra cautious when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.

● Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical fires nearby.

● Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running.

● Keep the test equipment dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the equipment as necessary.

● Do not drive the vehicle and operate the test equipment at the same time. Any distraction may cause an accident.

1. Introduction

The VDIAGTOOL VD70S Diagnostic Tool interfaces with the electronic control unit(ECU) of a vehicle to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), access data stream information, and command active tests(bi-directional control tests). Various vehicle control systems, such as engine, transmission, and anti-lock brake system (ABS), SRS(Airbag) system, Chassis, Body and etc are readily diagnosed using this Diagnostic Tool. The Diagnostic Tool is capable of graphing up to eight(8) live data parameters on a single screen, and also includes ECU information.

This chapter introduces the basic features of the Diagnostic Tool, including the control but- tons, data ports, battery pack, and power sources. Technical Specifications are provided at the end of this chapter.

1.1 Data and Power Connections

1.2 Battery Pack and Stand

1.3 Power Sources

VDIAGTOOL VD70S Diagnostic Tool can receive power from either of the two sources:
