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 129E 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 nished, 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).

• OBD II 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, Tire pressure

monitor system reset and Electronic throttle position reset can be done.

• One-click Update: Let you update your diagnostic software and APK online.

• Diagnostic History: This function provides a quick access to the tested

vehicles and users can choose to view the test report or resume from the last

operation, without the necessity of starting from scratch.

• Diagnostic Feedback: Use this option to submit the vehicle issue to us for

analysis and troubleshooting.

• DTC Library: Allows you to retrieve the definition of the diagnostic trouble

code from the abundant DTC database.

• Displays battery real-time voltage once properly connected to the vehicle.

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 specic

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 nd and x 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) dened

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. Misre

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 misre,

and monitoring fuel demands.

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

and engine system components require the vehicle to be operated under

specic 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

LAUNCH Professional 129E User Manual

6) Secondary air Injection

7) Heated Catalyst

8) A/C system

2.5 OBD II Monitor Readiness Status

OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle’s PCM’s monitor

system has completed testing on each component. Components that have been

tested will be reported as “Ready”, or “Complete”, meaning they have been

tested by the OBD II system. The purpose of recording readiness status is to

allow inspectors to determine if the vehicle’s OBD II system has tested all the

components and/or systems.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sets a monitor to “Ready” or “Complete”

after an appropriate drive cycle has been performed. The drive cycle that

enables a monitor and sets readiness codes to “Ready” varies for each

individual monitor. Once a monitor is set as “Ready” or “Complete”, it will remain

in this state. A number of factors, including erasing of Diagnostic Trouble Codes

(DTCs) with a code reader or a disconnected battery, can result in Readiness

Monitors being set to “Not Ready”. Since the three continuous monitors are

constantly evaluating, they will be reported as “Ready” all of the time. If testing

of a particular supported non-continuous monitor has not been completed, the

monitor status will be reported as “Not Complete” or “Not Ready.”

In order for the OBD monitor system to become ready, the vehicle should be

driven under a variety of normal operating conditions. These operating conditions

may include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, city type driving, and at

least one overnight-off period. For specic information on getting your vehicle’s

OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

2.6 OBD II Denitions

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) -- OBD II terminology for the on-board

computer that controls engine and drive train.

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) -- Malfunction Indicator Light (Service

Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the instrument panel.

It is to alert the driver and/or the repair technician that there is a problem with

one or more of vehicle’s systems and may cause emissions to exceed federal

standards. If the MIL illuminates with a steady light, it indicates that a problem

has been detected and the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible.

Under certain conditions, the dashboard light will blink or ash. This indicates a

severe problem and flashing is intended to discourage vehicle operation. The

vehicle onboard diagnostic system cannot turn the MIL off until the necessary

repairs are completed or the condition no longer exists.
