HIC004-2 Scan Add-On Tool

HIC004-2 Scan Add-On Tool

The HIC004-2 Scan Add-On Tool not only acts as a Protocol Detector & Break Out Box to DLC (Diagnostic Link Connector), it also has a voltage monitoring feature with Volts display, which will give an alarm warning when the voltage falls below 12.0Volts or higher than 15.2Volts.

With the Voltmeter display, you are able to monitor the voltages while doing programming or coding, giving an alarm when the voltage falls below 12V or rises above 15.2V. This feature will minimize any error while performing service reflashes.

Features

• DLC magnifier (makes DLC 5 times larger)
• DLC extender (place DLC where you need it)
• SPY (you can monitor the activity on each OBDII dedicated data line)
• Switch the ignition key to OFF position. Connect the Scan Add-On Tool to the DLC on vehicle. Turn ignition key back to ON position. As soon as it powers up, the voltmeter will display the battery volts and automatically checks the power, grounds, DLC data wires and searches for voltage pulses.
• As Power source: While connected to the car DLC, you can tap +12V at the red banana socket (pin 16) and Chassis Ground (-) at black banana socket (pin 4) to power other DC loads. Capacity rated at 5 Amps.
• Detecting Protocol in use: Plug your scan tool or interface to Scan Add-On Tool. Use the scan tool to view live data stream. Check the flashing blue LEDs and match them with the protocols marked on the label
• Check Alternator charging condition: With ignition key in OFF position, plug Scan Add-On Tool into the car DLC. Switch key to ON position and the tool will display the battery voltage. Start the engine; observe the voltage display while the engine is idling. It should be above 12.6 Volts. If not, check for loose drive belt. Then rev engine up to 3,000rpm and observe the change in voltage. If the voltage is above 15.2 Volts, the alarm will beep indicating that the charging voltage is too high. In this case, the regulator needs to be checked. Then switch ON all electrical loads, rev engine to 2,000rpm and observe the changes in voltage at the tool. The voltage should above 13.6 Volts. If the voltage is below, check for loose drive belt and the Alternator.
