1. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) & Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

The MaxiCheck Pro safely links to the vehicle's control module via the OBD-II port, enabling disengagement of electronic parking brakes during pad replacement. This eliminates reliance on expensive OEM tools, improving efficiency and reducing costs. Also supports reading and clearing ABS trouble codes and bi-directional bleed functions where compatible.

Allows technicians to read and clear airbag system trouble codes and reset SRS warning lights—ideal for collision repair shops performing post-accident repairs or component replacements.

3. Battery Management System (BMS) Service

Evaluate battery charge state, monitor circuit current, register new battery installation, activate vehicle rest mode, and charge battery through the diagnostic socket.

4. Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration

Performs zero-position calibration of the steering angle sensor on vehicles equipped with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), ensuring optimal performance after alignment or suspension work.

5. Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Service

Enables retrieval and erasure of DPF-related codes, reset of DPF warning light after filter replacement, micromanagement of injection rate, and initiation of static/dynamic regeneration when particle load reaches maximum levels—avoiding dealer visits.

6. Oil Service Reset

Resets service lights and maintenance intervals for various brands including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, VW/Audi, Fiat, Mazda, and more. Saves time and cost by replacing the need for manufacturer-specific scan tools.

Powering On the MaxiCheck Pro Scanner

The MaxiCheck Pro does not have an internal battery and draws power directly from the vehicle via the OBD-II port.

1. Connect the scanner to the vehicle’s DLC (Diagnostic Link Connector) using the provided OBD-II cable.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON position.

Troubleshooting: Scanner Won’t Power Up

1. Verify the vehicle battery has sufficient charge.
2. Ensure the ignition is turned ON.
3. Check for proper voltage at PIN 4 (Ground), PIN 5 (Signal Ground), and PIN 16 (Battery Power) on the DLC port.
4. Inspect the OBD-II cable pins for damage or bending.

Troubleshooting: No Communication Detected

1. Confirm device compatibility with your vehicle before purchase.
2. Update the scanner software to the latest version.
3. Follow correct menu path: e.g., ABS/SRS → USA → GM → 2000–Passenger Car → Chassis → E (4th VIN digit) → Delco/Bosch ABS/TCS → Special Functions → Automated Bleed.
4. If auto-bleed fails, test basic OBD-II communication first.
5. If no OBD-II communication, inspect DLC port and OBD-II cable pins for damage.
6. Note: Existing ABS DTCs can cause communication failure. Clear codes or perform necessary repairs before proceeding.
