6.1.1. Preparing Vehicle Diagnostics

NOTICE
The selection of the correct vehicle and sufficient vehicle electrical system voltage (>12 V) are two basic pre-
conditions for trouble-free vehicle diagnostics. The diagnostic device provides assistance to simplify the se-
lection, e.g. indicating the installation position of the diagnostic port, vehicle identification through VIN or in-
dication of the battery voltage.
Several manufacturers use security gateway modules to protect the vehicle communication against unau-
thorized access. This means that unrestricted vehicle communication between the diagnostic device and the
vehicle is possible only through prior activation. To select and diagnose a vehicle with a security system in
the usual manner and without restrictions, follow the steps in the section Cyber Security Management of
the mega macs X user manual.
