DCN-PRO Functions
The functions you can choose when all the test vehicle details are selected
properly are explained in this chapter of the manual. The actual list of
available functions may be different according to the vehicle you want to test.
I. Diagnostic Trouble Code---------------------
A. DTC Read
1. Pulse signal type
a. Many of old Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Hyundai and Kia cars until early 90’s
support slow pulse signal output for the DTC reading function.
As shown below, DCN-PRO shows the pulse signal being received
through the DLC adapter in the top and the received DTC numbers.
b. Manual input
-Even older cars such as Honda with 2-pin adapter have no signal
output terminal for DTC in the DLC adapter. In this case, DCN-
PRO shows the following message as there is no signal input
USER MANUAL For DCN Scanners
G
jG[GTGYG
through the adapter.
-You have to count the MIL flashing on the dashboard and manually
input the DTC number to DCN-PRO to view the details as below:
-Long flash signals count for tens and short signals for ones. Input
two digits for tens and ones in sequence using the numeric keypad.
A flash signal for a code is followed by another if there are multiple
trouble codes. Blinking signals for all trouble codes flash in
sequence, and repeat after a pause.
Hanatech Co., Ltd. Chapter 4
G
jG[GTGZG
c. Others
-Generally DCN-PRO reads DTC pulse signal from the diagnostic
adapter and shows the DTC number, title and details automatically.
2. Serial Communication type
a. Most of the cars built in 1990’s or later support serial communication with
a scanner, and the DTC is read by bi-directional communication.
b. DCN-PRO sends a command to the control module to reply with the DTC
numbers stored in memory, and the control module replies thereupon.
USER MANUAL For DCN Scanners
G
jG[GTG[G
B. DTC Erase (Clear fault code)
1. Pulse signal type
a. Pulse signal type does not support bi-directional serial communication,
therefore, a scanner is unable to send a command to the control module
to erase the DTC information from memory.
These old cars require you to remove battery terminal to clean up
diagnostic information from control module memory.
Removing the battery terminal will get rid of all information contained in
the car stereo and other electronic devices. And it may not effectively
erase the fault codes in some cars. Refer to the original repair manual
for further information.
Check if DTC information is properly removed by reading the trouble
code again after erasing the code.
2. Serial communication type
a. DCN-PRO sends a command to the control module to erase DTC
information stored in memory, and the control module replies thereupon.
b. Check if DTC information is properly removed by reading the trouble
code again after erasing the code
Hanatech Co., Ltd. Chapter 4
G
jG[GTG\G
C. DTC Help tips
a. Help tips are provided when you press the [HELP] key after locating the
highlighted bar on one of the detected trouble code(s). This function is
available when DCN-PRO detects one or more trouble code(s)
b. Help tips including trouble code definition, conditions and check points
are provided for all Korean cars and Malaysian cars as of May 2003.
Wiring diagrams are also provided for Korean cars of 2000 model-year or
older.
c. Press the [ESC] key to return to DTC list.
USER MANUAL For DCN Scanners
G
jG[GTG]G
II. Current Data -----------------------------------
(= Data Stream, Live Data, Service Data)
A. Pulse Signal Type
a. Data stream is not generally supported for this type of old cars because the
speed of pulse signal communication is too slow to read the data stream
variables.
b. Some of old Toyota cars using 17-pin rectangular adapter exceptionally
support data readings as the system supports relatively high speed pulse
signal communication.
B. Serial Communication Type
a. Most of control systems with serial communication support data stream
function. Select [Current data] from the menu, then the data readings follow.
b. Some systems like SRS or ABS may be designed not to support data stream
intentionally by the car make while the other systems are supported. A
scanner is a passive tool that reads information from the control system, and
it is unable to actively generate information that the system does not provide.
Hanatech Co., Ltd. Chapter 4
G
jG[GTG^G
C. Data Freeze
The [Data Freeze] function places the selected data stream variable on top of
the LCD screen so that the user can check and compare desired sensor
values continually without having to scroll up and down.
This function is different from ‘Freeze Frame Data’ function of Generic OBD2.
1) Step One
Select a desired sensor using the [ൖ][൘] and the [][] keys.
2) Step Two
Press the [ENTER] key to freeze the selected sensor.
i.e., when O2 sensor and MAP sensor are selected and frozen, these
sensor values will be placed at the top of the display as below :
3) Step Three
Up to five sensors may be frozen at a time. For example, if the Injection
Time, which can be shown when scrolled down, is selected and frozen,
Injection Time value will be placed below the previously frozen O2 and MAP
sensor.

jG[GTGXXG
III. Actuation Test ---------------------------------
-The actuation test is a very helpful function that temporarily activates
or stops a certain actuator such as an injector, a motor or a solenoid
by force, so that the user can evaluate the system's condition or the
part’s normal operation by observing its reaction
-Signals from various sensors are input to a control unit, and the
actions are taken by controlling to actuators. Sensors and
actuators are causes and effects in a control system.
-While the data stream function is useful to observe if the sensors are
working properly and the control unit is collecting correct data from
the sensors without problem, the actuator test is helpful to examine if
the actuators are working in normal conditions and the control unit is
commanding proper control over the system.
-Some of the cars such as Nissan or Toyota provide even more
advanced actuation tests by letting the user observe the reaction of
overall control system when manually adjusting the sensor input
values.
USER MANUAL For DCN Scanners
G
jG[GTGXYG
A. Menu Selection
a Choose [ACTUATION TEST] from the function Selection Menu
b The name of the actuator to be tested, test method and the test condition
are shown in the display. Available actuators, test methods and
conditions may differ in each vehicle.
B. Test Start
1. Selecting Test Item
a Choose an actuator to test from the menu by using the [] and [] keys.
b Check the test conditions and press the [ENTER] key when all the
conditions are met.
2. Testing
a [TESTING...] message will be displayed during the actuation test
Test method means how the actuation test will be performed. Check
the actual reaction of the actuator
Hanatech Co., Ltd. Chapter 4
G
jG[GTGXZG
b In the example below, the injector will stop injecting fuel for 6 seconds
while engine is idling, and it will make engine stall or unstable.
c Testing a fan or an injector is easy to check the proper reaction as it
generates distinctive changes in vehicle condition such as fan whining or
unstable idling. However, valves or motors are generally tested while
engine is stopped and all you can hear may be a small and unclear
electric buzzing sound. Test in a quite place and observe the test
results carefully.
d When the test is completed, the [TEST COMPLETE] message will be
displayed. You can choose other actuators by using the [] and []
keys. Press the [ESC] key to quit test mode.
