MaxiSYS MS909 Programming Capability

The MaxiFlash VCI is a D-PDU, SAE J2534 & RP1210 compliant PassThru programming interface. Using the updated OEM software, it is capable of replacing the existing software/firmware in the Electronic Control Units (ECU), programming new ECUs, and fixing software-controlled drivability issues and emission issues.

MaxiSYS MS909 Communication Capability

The MaxiFlash VCI supports Bluetooth (BT), Wi-Fi, and USB communications.

It can transmit vehicle data to the tablet with or without a cable connection. In open areas, the working range of the transmitter through Bluetooth communication is up to 328 feet (about

100 m). The working range of 5G Wi-Fi is up to 164 feet (50 m). If the signal is lost due to being taken out of range, communication will be restored once the tablet is within range.

MaxiSYS MS909 Power Sources

The VCI can receive power from the following sources:

• Vehicle power
• AC/DC power supply

Vehicle Power

The VCI operates on 12/24 Volt vehicle power, which receives power via the vehicle data connection port. The device powers on whenever it is connected to an OBDII/EOBD compliant Data Link Connector (DLC). For non-OBDII/EOBD compliant vehicles, the device can be powered from an auxiliary power outlet on the test vehicle using the auxiliary power cable.

AC/DC Power Supply

The VCI can be powered from a wall socket using the AC/DC power adapter.

MaxiSYS MS909 Establish Vehicle Communication and Selection

Establish Vehicle Communication

The Diagnostics operations require connecting the MaxiSys MS909 tablet to the test vehicle through the MaxiFlash VCI using the main cable V2.0 and test adapters (for nonOBDII vehicles). To establish proper vehicle communication to the tablet, you need to perform the following steps:
1. Connect the VCI to the vehicle’s DLC for both communication and power source.
2. Connect the VCI to the tablet via Bluetooth pairing, Wi-Fi or USB connection.
3. Check the VCI navigation button at the bottom bar on the screen. If a green BT, WiFi or USB icon displays at the lower-right corner, the MaxiSys MS909 DiagnosticsPlatform is ready to start vehicle diagnosis.
Vehicle Connection
The method used to connect the VCI to a vehicle’s DLC depends on the vehicle’s
configuration as follows:

1. A vehicle equipped with an On-board Diagnostics Two (OBDII) management system supplies both communication and 12-volt power through a standardized J-1962 DLC.
2. A vehicle not equipped with an OBDII management system supplies communication through a DLC connection, and in some cases supplies 12-volt power through the auxiliary power outlet or a connection to the vehicle battery.

OBDII Vehicle Connection

This type of connection only requires the main cable V2.0 without any additional adapter.
To connect to an OBDII vehicle
1. Connect the main cable’s female adapter to the Vehicle Data Connector on the VCI and tighten the captive screws.

2. Connect the cable’s 16-pin male adapter to the vehicle’s DLC, which is generally located under the vehicle dashboard.

NOTE

The vehicle’s DLC is not always located under the dashboard. Refer to the user manual of the test vehicle for additional connection information.

MaxiSYS MS909  Non-OBDII Vehicle Connection

This type of connection requires both the main cable V2.0 and a required OBDI adapter for the specific vehicle being serviced.

There are three possible conditions for Non-OBDII vehicle connection:

• DLC connection supplies both communication and power.
• DLC connection supplies communication and power is to be supplied via the vehicle’s auxiliary power outlet.
• DLC connection supplies communication and power is to be supplied via connection to the vehicle battery.

MaxiSYS MS909 Autel To connect to a Non-OBDII Vehicle

1. Connect the main cable’s female adapter to the Vehicle Data Connector on the VCI and tighten the captive screws.

2. Locate the required OBDI adapter and connect its 16-pin jack to the main cable’s male adapter.

3. Connect the attached OBDI adapter to the vehicle’s DLC.

NOTE

Some vehicles may have more than one adapter or may have test leads instead of an adapter. Whatever the case, make the proper connection to the vehicle’s DLC as required.

MaxiSYS MS909 Autel To connect the auxiliary power outlet adapter

1. Plug the DC power connector of the auxiliary power outlet adapter into the DC power supply input port on the device.

2. Connect the male connector of the auxiliary power outlet adapter into the vehicle’s auxiliary power outlet.

MaxiSYS MS909 Autel To connect the clamp cable

1. Connect the tubular plug of the clamp cable to the male connector of the auxiliary power outlet adapter.

Figure 4-1 Connect Auxiliary Power Outlet Adapter to Clamp Cable

2. Plug the DC power connector of the auxiliary power outlet adapter into the DC power supply input port of the VCI.

3. Connect the clamp cable to the vehicle’s battery.

NOTE

After the VCI is successfully connected to the vehicle, the Power LED on the device lights, and a brief beeping sound will be heard.

MaxiSYS MS909 Autel VCI Connection

After the VCI is properly connected to the vehicle, the Power LED on the VCI lights solid green, and is ready to establish communication with the tablet.
MaxiSys MS909 supports three communication methods: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB.

MaxiSYS MS909 Autel Bluetooth Connection

In open areas, the working range for Bluetooth communication is about 328 feet (100 m), giving technicians greater mobility to perform vehicle diagnosis from anywhere in the repair shop.

To expedite multi-vehicle diagnostics, more than one VCI can be used in busy repair shops enabling technicians to quickly pair (via Bluetooth) their diagnostic tablets to each VCI separately and therefore eliminating the need to physically connect the VCI to each vehicle.

To pair up the tablet with the VCI via Bluetooth

1. Power up the tablet.

2. Select the VCI Manager application from the MaxiSys Job Menu.

3. Select VCI BT from the connection mode list. Tap the Bluetooth toggle to turn it ON. The device automatically scans for available VCIs for pairing. The found devices are listed on the right side of the screen.
