An electric car or electric vehicle (EV) is a passenger automobile that is propelled by an electric traction motor, using electrical energy as the primary source of propulsion. Following another year of robust growth, global sales of electric cars are on track to surpass 20 million in 2025, accounting for over a quarter of cars sold worldwide, according to the new edition of the IEA's annual Global EV Outlook.
Therefore, in the face of the increase in electric vehicle sales, the auto repair industry must keep pace with the times. The diagnostic capabilities of electric vehicles are further improved, and having an electric vehicle diagnostic scanner can better expand the business of the store and adapt to changes in the auto sales market.
If you own an Autel MS909, MS919 or MS Ultra scanner and want to further expand your electric vehicle business, you can do so by purchasing the EVDiag Box. Autel EVDiag is compatible with all of them and can provide a complete new energy vehicle solution.
This article will show you how to use Autel MaxiSys EVDiag Box
You can also use the same connection procedure to connect to MaxiFLASH VCMI or MaxiFlash VCI. The following operation takes the connection between EVDiag Box and MaxiFlash VCMI as an example. MaxiFlash VCMI/VCI is only compatible with Autel host cable V2.0 and USB cable V2.
1. Connect the Main Cable V2.0 to the Vehicle Data Connector on the VCMI and tighten the thumbscrews.
2. Connect the cable's 16-pin adapter to the OBDII connector on the EVDiag box.
3. Power on the tablet. Make sure the tablet's battery is charged or connected to the included DC power supply.
4. Select Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB Cable V2 to connect the tablet to VCMI and establish a communication link. Use only the USB cable connection for programming.
5. Click on "Battery Pack Test" in the MaxiSys work menu. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify the relevant technical certifications and get ready.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your test vehicle, including make, region, model, capacity, etc.
7. Connect as shown.
Note:The adapter or splitter cable required may vary depending on the vehicle. Please connect correctly according to the actual situation.
8. Turn on the power of the EVDiag Box. Make sure the EVDiag Box is connected to a DC power source. When you tap the OK button on the tablet connection diagram screen, the tablet and EVDiag Box will connect and establish a communication link. Once the link is established, the main menu screen will be displayed.
9. On the main menu screen, tap "Battery Pack Information." The screen displays data obtained from the battery pack (SOC, voltage, current, pack voltage difference, temperature, etc.).
By following the above steps, you can easily use the diagnostic scanner to diagnose electric vehicles. Of course, if you don't have the three OBD2 scanners mentioned above, you can consider buying MS Ultra EV or MS 909 EV, which is more cost-effective than buying two separately.
In a recent high-profile case, Nissan has recalled over 440,000 vehicles due to a potential engine bearing defect that could lead to engine failure and increase the risk of a crash.
In this article, we’ll explain what engine bearings are, why they’re important, common causes of bearing failure, how to identify early warning signs, and whether diagnostic tools like OBD2 scanners can help.
Every car diagnostic process should begin with a VIN check, because the VIN lays the foundation for what your Autel OBD II scanner will detect.But here’s what it doesn’t tell you:Your car’s current condition. That’s where a car diagnostic tool like the Autel MD906Pro comes in.
How does the new Autel MD909 Pro stack up against other scanners in the MaxiDiag series? What upgrades does it bring, what are its standout features, and how does it compare to larger tablet-style diagnostic tools? And of course—how much does it cost? Let’s break it all down.
