ADD KEYS Still take the 2020 Honda Accord as an example. Click “Add smart key” menu, then check the notice from the screen.
Page 36
Because this vehicle is paired with smart keys, we need to take all the keys out from the vehicle before programming, then put the original key inside the car.
Page 37
Now the system will configure the data and after it’s done, take the smart key out from the car first. Then take a new key and put it into the car.
Page 38

Like the “add key” process, it needs you to turn the ignition on and off for several times. After that, check security light of the dashboard. Then the instructions will tell you to turn the ignition on and off again. It will show “Program success”...
IAGNOSIS The basic diagnostic application on X100PAD PLUS can read and clear DTCs on the vehicles. The diagnosis application can access the electronic control unit (ECU) of various vehicle control systems, including the engine, transmission, anti-lock braking system (ABS), airbag system (SRS).
Page 44
For some of the brands (like Volkswagen), when you click in the software, there are several ways to select the model or system you want to run a diagnosis, including Automatic Detection, Manual Selection and System Selection. Now we are using a 2001 Chevrolet Astra as an example, and it will show manual selection menu after auto-detect failed.
Page 45
OBDII menu supports reading the common fault codes in the engine. The DTCs may not be the same when comparing with using common diagnosis software. DEMO is a demonstration program. You can perform basic diagnosis functions without connecting to the car.
DIAGNOSE FUNCTIONS The diagnosis system on X100PAD PLUS only supports read ECU information and read/clear fault codes (DTCs). Read ECU Information This function is to read ECU version information, which is the equivalent of "System Identification" or "System information” in...
Page 47
Read Trouble Code Read trouble codes that’s stored in ECU. In the process of diagnosis, if the device shows “System is OK” or “No Trouble Code”, it means there is no related trouble code stored in ECU or some troubles are not under the control of ECU, most of these troubles are mechanical system troubles or executive circuit troubles.
Page 48
Clear Trouble Code It allows to clear current and historical trouble codes memory in ECU, under the premise that all the troubles are eliminated. The trouble codes can’t be erased without eliminating all the troubles, which will cause the diagnostic tool always reading the trouble code because the code will always be saved in ECU.
Due to the limitation of screenshots, the special functions shown in this picture are not complete. All special functions supported by X100PAD PLUS are subject to the actual special functions displayed on the device. Please make sure the vehicle you’re working on supports the original functions.
EEPROM chip stores the immobilizer data (like pincode) and odometer data, and sometimes you need to unweld it to read & write the data inside the chip. For X100PAD PLUS you can use an EEPROM adapter to do that, and you can get access to its full function via this special function.
time so that the service lamp turns off and the system enables the new service cycle. After changing engine oil or electric appliances that monitor oil life, you need to reset the service lamp. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) System reset is a popular special function.
The brake pad sensor circuit is short, which is recovered. The servo motor is replaced. Steering Angle Sensors (SAS) System Calibration permanently stores the current steering wheel position as the straight-ahead position in the SAS EEPROM. Therefore, the front wheels and the steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead position before calibration.

The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration. Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier than cars driven more with higher load and speed. For regeneration to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be obtained.
BMS RESET The Battery Management System (BMS) allows the scan tool to evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement, and activate the rest state of the vehicle. This function enables you to perform a resetting operation on the monitoring unit of vehicle battery, in which the original low battery fault information will be cleared and battery matching will be done.
THROTTLE Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Match, this function enables you to make initial settings to throttle actuators and returns the “learned” values stored on ECU to the default state. Doing so can accurately control the actions of regulating throttle (or idle engine) to adjust the amount of air intake.
