4. Bedienungsanleitung

The ANCEL AD310BT offers a user-friendly interface through its dedicated smartphone application. Below are the primary functions and how to use them.

4.1 Diagnostic Menu Navigation

After connecting the scanner and pairing with the app, the main diagnostic menu will appear. Use the physical buttons on the scanner (Up, Down, Enter, Exit) to navigate through the menu options displayed on the scanner's screen, or use the touch interface within the smartphone application.

• Codes lesen: Ruft Diagnosefehlercodes (DTCs) vom Fahrzeugcomputer ab.
• Codes löschen: Clears DTCs from the vehicle's computer. This will also turn off the Check Engine Light.
• Lebensdaten: Zeigt Echtzeit-Sensordaten vom Fahrzeug an.
• View Freeze Frame: Zeigt eine Momentaufnahme der Fahrzeugbetriebsbedingungen zum Zeitpunkt des Auftretens eines emissionsrelevanten Fehlers.
• I/M-Bereitschaft: Checks the status of the emission-related monitoring systems.
• Fahrzeuginfo: Ruft die Fahrzeugidentifikationsnummer (VIN), die Kalibrierungs-ID und die Kalibrierungsverifizierungsnummer (CVN) ab.

4.2 Fehlercodes lesen und löschen

1. From the main menu, select "Read Codes" to retrieve current, pending, or permanent DTCs.
2. The scanner will display the codes and their descriptions.

4.3 I/M Readiness Testing

The I/M Readiness function checks if the various emission-related systems on the vehicle are operating correctly and have completed their diagnostic cycles. This is crucial for emissions inspections.

1. Wählen Sie im Hauptmenü „I/M-Bereitschaft“.
2. The app will display the status of various monitors (e.g., Misfire, Fuel System, O2 Sensor). A "PASS" or "OK" status indicates the monitor has completed its test.
3. Hinweis: Für einige Monitore sind möglicherweise bestimmte Fahrbedingungen erforderlich, um ihre Tests abzuschließen.

4.4 Voltage Indicator and Battery Testing

The AD310BT features an LED indicator that displays the vehicle's battery voltage when connected. The application also provides a dedicated battery testing function.

• Bandtage Indikator: The LED on the scanner unit will show the current battery voltage. This can be used for a quick check of the battery and alternator. A healthy alternator should show voltage between approximately 12.6V and 14.0V when the engine is running.
• Batterietest: Use the dedicated battery test function within the app to get a more detailed analysis of your vehicle's battery status. This helps in identifying potential issues before they lead to cold-weather starting problems or roadside breakdowns.

4.5 EVAP System Testing

The EVAP (Evaporative Emission Control System) test function allows you to initiate a leak test for the vehicle's EVAP system. This helps to detect fuel vapor leaks that can affect emissions.

4.6 DTC Search

The DTC Search function allows you to look up the meaning of Diagnostic Trouble Codes directly within the application, providing immediate context for any issues detected.

5. Wartung

• Reinigung: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the scanner unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lagerung: Store the device in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use.
