233, Creader Professional 239, Millennium Master, Creader Professional 129

EVO, Creader Professional 123X, Creader Professional 129X is an

evolutionary smart solution for passenger car diagnosis. It inherits from

LAUNCH’s advanced diagnosing technology and is characterized by covering

a wide range of vehicles, featuring powerful functions, and providing precise

test result. Creader Professional 123i/129i/Millennium Master has the

following functions and advantages:

• Smart(Auto-Detect) Diagnosis: Once the tool and the vehicle are properly

connected, the system starts auto-detect process. Once the whole process is

successfully finished, a diagnostic report will be automatically generated and

sent to your email box (if bound).

• Manual Diagnosis: If Auto-Detect failure occurs, manual diagnosis is also

available. Diagnosis functions include: Version Information, Read DTCs,

Clear DTCs and Read Data Stream (supports 3 display modes: Value, Graph

and Merged).

• OBDII Diagnosis: 10 modes of OBD II test are supported, including EVAP, O2

Sensor, I/M Readiness, MIL Status, VIN Info, and On-board monitors testing

etc.

• Reset: Frequently used maintenance and reset items including Oil lamp

reset, Electronic parking brake reset, Steering angle calibration and Battery

maintenance system reset can be done (*Note: This function only applies to the

ƌeaĚeƌWƌofessional ϭϮϵi).

2. General Information

2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II

The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (OBD I) was developed by the

California Air Resources Board (ARB) and implemented in 1988 to monitor some

of the emission control components on vehicles. As technology evolved and the

desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation

of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed. This second generation of On-

Board Diagnostic regulations is called “OBD II”.

The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission control systems and key

engine components by performing either continuous or periodic tests of specific

components and vehicle conditions. When a problem is detected, the OBD II

system turns on a warning lamp (MIL) on the vehicle instrument panel to alert

the driver typically by the phrase of “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon”.

The system will also store important information about the detected malfunction

so that a technician can accurately fin and fix the problem. Here below follow

three pieces of such valuable information:

1) Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is commanded ‘on’ or ‘off’;

2) Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;

3) Readiness Monitor status.

2.2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board

computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle. These

codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a

guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle. OBD II Diagnostic

Trouble Codes consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code. The first character,

a letter, identifies which control system sets the code. The second character,

a number, 0-3; other three characters, a hex character, 0-9 or A-F provide

additional information on where the DTC originated and the operating conditions

that caused it to set. Here below is an example to illustrate the structure of the

digits:

2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)

The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is typically a 16-

pin connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-

board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the

instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If

Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there

telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located

behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If

the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.

2.4 OBD II Readiness Monitors

An important part of a vehicle’s OBD II system is the Readiness Monitors, which

are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been

evaluated by the OBD II system. They are running periodic tests on specific

systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable

limits.

Currently, there are eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors (or I/M Monitors) defined

by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are

supported in every vehicles and the exact number of monitors in any vehicle

depends on the motor vehicle manufacturer’s emissions control strategy.

Continuous Monitors -- Some of the vehicle components or systems are

continuously tested by the vehicle’s OBD II system, while others are tested

only under specific vehicle operating conditions. The continuously monitored

components listed below are always ready:

1.Misfir

2.Fuel System

3.Comprehensive Components (CCM)

Once the vehicle is running, the OBD II system is continuously checking the

above components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for engine misfire,

and monitoring fuel demands.

Non-Continuous Monitors -- Unlike the continuous monitors, many emissions

and engine system components require the vehicle to be operated under

specific conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors are termed non-

continuous monitors and are listed below:

1) EGR System

2) O2 Sensors

3) Catalyst

4) Evaporative System

5) O2 Sensor Heater
