Switch the ignition on.
Vehicle battery voltage range should be 9 14Volts

X-431 Throttle supports three kinds of diagnosis approaches: Smart Diagnosis, Remote
Diagnosis and Manual Diagnosis.
Through simple wireless (BT) communication between the handset and VCI device, you can
easily get the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) information of the currently identified
vehicle.
Once the VIN is successfully identified, the system will retrieve it from the remote server and
then guide you to vehicle information page without the necessity of step-by-step manual
menu selection.
This option aims to help repair shops or professional technicians launch instant messaging
and remote diagnosis, making the repair job getting fixed faster.
In this mode, you have to diagnose a vehicle by performing the menu-driven command
manually.
