Sensorbox (Optional) Parameters 6.1 Product summary Scope Precision MAXIMUS2.0 provides an optional function of automotive sensor simulation test. “Sensor” function is specially designed to diagnose and simulate vehicle sensor faults quickly and conveniently, including “DC voltage simulation”, “Fixed frequency simulation”, “Predefined waveform simulation” and “Hand-painted waveform simulation”. Vehicle sensors are the signal input devices for electrical control systems, which can transform all kinds of running parameters, such as vehicle speed, coolant temperature, engine RPM, air flow, throttle opening, etc., into the electronic signal for the vehicle computer who can optimize the engine running status per the above-mentioned parameters to keep the engine working in a prime status. Meanwhile, it integrates the functions of automobile multimeter, which enables users to perform voltage, resistance and frequency test. (The function utilizes the same hardware device as the sensor module) ±5% Voltage test Testing range DC-400V~+400V Input impedance 10Mohm Resistance test Testing range 0~40Mohm Frequency test Testing range 0~25KHz Input impedance 1000Gohm Input voltage 1~12V 6.2 Structure and Accessories 6.2.1 Sensorbox structure It features automotive sensor simulation test and multimeter test function.

Note: Choose corresponding cables and test probes according to different terminals. Sensor test cable 6.3.2 Simulation test Sensor probe Simulation test enables users to exactly judge if the sensor is good or not to avoid replacing components blindly. For example, the trouble MAXIMUS2.0 User's Manual code indicates the fault is in water temperature sensor itself. But we need to confirm whether the fault results from water temperature sensor or the connections between ECU and sensors, or ECU itself. In this case, we can make full use of simulation test to input the signal of simulating water temperature sensor, instead of water temperature sensor, to the microcomputer. If the engine works better and the fault vanishes, the fault is in the water temperature sensor. If the fault still occurs, input the signal to the corresponding terminals of ECU. Consequently, if the fault disappears, the fault lies in the connection between water temperature sensor and ECU, otherwise, the fault exists in ECU. or inputting the desired voltage based on the working characteristics button, then the MAXIMUS2.0 will begin to of sensor, tap the output the simulation voltages. Please note the red probe is the output terminal of simulation voltage. 2.

Do not pull the cable for unplugging. • At first check the fuse, fusible line and terminals. Then check others after eliminating these faults. • When measuring voltage, the ignition switch should be on and the battery voltage should not be less than 11V. • When measuring voltage, please shake the lead lightly in the vertical and horizontal direction for more precision. • When checking whether there is open in the line, disconnect the CEU and the relevant sensor at first, then measure the resistance 27 MAXIMUS2.0 User's Manual • • • • • • • among the ports of sensor in order to determine whether opencircuit / contact fault exists or not. When checking if there is a short in the line, please disconnect the CEU and the relevant sensor, then measure the resistance value of the ports between the connected port and the vehicle body. If the resistance value is more than 1MΩ, no fault occurs. Before disassembling the engine electrical control system cable, cut off the power supply, that is, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the cables on the battery poles. Contact the test probe and the two terminals/ the two leads to be measured when measuring the voltage between the two terminals or the two leads. Contact the red test probe to the terminal/ the cable to be measured, and the black probe to the ground when measuring voltage of one terminal/ one cable. When checking the continuity of the terminals, contacts and leads, the method for measuring their resistances can be used. Check the faults in the terminals of the CEU to sensors, relays, etc. There are two test probes in the testing wire. The black one is the common signal terminal (signal GND); the red one is the input terminal for voltage, resistance, and frequency test and output terminal for simulation voltage, simulation frequency and oxygen sensor. Please choose the correct probes to match the different terminals. Fig. 6-9 Click the desired test as shown on Fig. 6-9 to perform related test. The operation method on Resistance test and Frequency test is identical to that of Voltage test. Here just take Voltage test as an example for demonstration. Tap “Voltage test”, a screen similar to Fig. 6-10 appears: 6.4 Auto Multimeter 6.4.1 Main Menu Make sure MAXIMUS2.0 main unit and the sensorbox are properly connected (Refer to Chapter 6.3.1 Connections for details), power on MAXIMUS2.0 and enter the function menu interface, tap “Multimeter” to display the test menu.

[ ]: reduces the range and zoom in the waveform. ]: increase the range and zoom out the waveform. ]: starts or stops the testing process. 6.4.2 Test sample Knock sensor testing (1) Resistance test for knock sensor Switch ignition “OFF”, unplug the wire connector of knock sensor, test the resistance between the wire terminal and the case of knock sensor with “Resistance test” function, it shall be ∞(disconnected), and if it is 0Ω(conductive), which means the knock sensor shall be replaced. For the magnetostriction knock sensor, it can also test the resistance by the “Resistance measurement” function; the resistance shall be compliant with the specified value (see specific service manual for the detailed data), otherwise, the knock sensor shall be replaced. Independent testing: Unplug the wire connector of coolant temperature sensor, then remove the sensor from the engine; place the sensor into a breaker with water and heat the water, then use the “Resistance measurement” to test the Resistance between two terminals of coolant temperature sensor at different water temperature. Compared the measured value with the standard value, if the Resistance is not compliant with the standard, then the coolant temperature sensor shall be replaced. (2) Output signal voltage testing for coolant temperature sensor After installing the coolant temperature sensor, plug the wire connector of sensor, and then switch ignition ON, test the output signal voltage between the two terminals of wire connector. The tested voltage shall be in inverse proportional with the coolant temperature. When the harness of coolant temperature sensor is disconnected, the voltage shall be about 5V if the ignition switch is ON. (2) Checking for the output signal of knock sensor Unplug the wire connector of knock sensor, check voltage between knock sensor connector terminal and ground wire of knock, it should be output pulse voltage; otherwise, the knock sensor shall be replaced. Coolant temperature sensor testing (1) Resistance test for coolant temperature sensor On vehicle testing: Switch ignition “OFF” and unplug the wire connector of coolant temperature sensor, then use the “Resistance measurement” to test the Resistance between two terminals of sensor. The relationship between the resistance and the temperature is in inversely proportion (negative temperature coefficient), which shall be less than 1kΩ during warming up. 29 MAXIMUS2.0 User's Manual 7 Batterybox (Optional) SAE MAXIMUS2.0 provides an optional function of automotive battery test, which adopts the latest state-of-the-art conductance testing technology in the world and can test vehicle’s battery status.

Battery test aims to check starting plumbic acid storage batteries for vehicles, ship, boats and aviations, etc. It can test all kinds of batteries complying with CCA, DIN, JIS, EN, GB and SA standards. For detailed test standards, please refer to Table 7-1. Table 7-1 Test standard 30 100~1700 7.2 Test Environment 7.1 Product Summary Standard (Full name) Society of Automotive engineers Test capacity range CCA Battery Council international 100~1700 DIN Deutsche industry normen 100~1200 JIS Japanese industry standard EN Europe norm 100~1700 IEC National electrical commission 100~1200 GB Chinese national standard 100~1200 7.2.1 Test environment Inside the vehicle test indicates that the battery connects to loading devices, such as engine, etc. After doing battery test, it can perform charging system and actuation system test, which is proceeded as a whole simultaneously. Charging system and actuation system test is not required but must not be performed before battery test. Because it is difficult for vehicle technicians to judge where is faulty exactly if they have the faintest idea of battery’s status itself. Outside the vehicle test indicates that the battery is disconnected from all loading devices on vehicles. Therefore, only battery test is supported in this condition. 7.2.2 Battery status and description There are mainly 5 states as follows: No. States Descriptions Good battery Replace battery Indicates that battery is aged or becomes rejected, or battery life cycle approaches to be exhausted. In this case, battery voltage appears to be normal, but battery itself is not well, i.e. battery polarity board has been completely vulcanized or aged. Please replace battery immediately.

Please refer to it for details. 7.5 Precautions on battery test For the purpose of getting accurate test results, unless otherwise special required, all loads need to be power off such as headlamp, engine etc. before testing battery. The operating time required for charging system and actuation system test varies from person to person. If the engine does not start or accelerate within 30 seconds, the system will prompt you “receiving timeout” and return to the initial status. Whether Engine is off or not has no influence on charging and actuation test result after increased speed is detected, but other loads need to be powered off. The accuracy of battery voltage, charging voltage, start voltage is 0.01V in test results; CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) precision is 5CCA. Generally, charging voltage value is greater than starting voltage. Charging voltage range is as follows: 13.8--14.5V for domestic vehicle; 13.3--15.5V for imported vehicles. The voltage varies with different car models, so you have to judge based on related vehicle models. In general, the DC voltage is stable, but it also varies with different revolution speed. Starting voltage range: the value higher than 9.6V is regular, otherwise it is too low. Due to different situations, whether the starting voltage is higher or not does not mean the vehicles or batteries are faulty. For detailed faults, other special equipments are needed. To validate the accuracy of the value, the best method is to collect the signals of starting and charging voltage and observe it on an oscillometer. Generally, the voltage is lower than 11V for the bad cell battery, but it is possible that the battery is completely exhausted or has a serious low capacity. In this case, just recharge your battery. Bad cell always 34 happens when the loads on a stopping vehicle are turned on for a long time. Please note that it is normal for quick detecting of “Increase speed” because it follows the theory of detecting “Increase speed”: if the detected voltage is higher than the previous battery test voltage, the system will prompt you a message of “Engine has been speeded” It has no influence on test result in the event that engine’s output voltage or engine revolution is not very stable. No matter whether the vehicle is accelerated or not, the output voltage only differs within 0.2V. While doing inside the vehicle test, Kelvin clip is always found to be in poor contact. To remain it in good contact, please shake it several times before testing. Take down the battery connector, and test it again, the value probably varies. The deviation may arise from battery connector. Pay more attention to connect the clip. The battery poles connect with conductor, which makes the clip has a poor connection when testing battery. A tolerance of dozens of CCA occurs if the clip is out of position, or oil, dust attaches on the pole. The gear and main body of clip should be fully matched with battery poles. Notes: 1. Battery poles inside the vehicle are enveloped by connectors, which may produce some errors for test results. The tolerance results from the resistance of connectors. The greater the resistance value is, the greater the tolerance becomes. But generally, the tolerance does not affect the test conclusion. 2. Testing the battery separately generates an exact test result. The battery box is a very useful auxiliary tool for quick test. If any problems were found, test it separately for getting an exact test result. MAXIMUS2.0 User's Manual 8 Oscilloscope (coming soon) 9 Borescope (coming soon) Oscilloscope is an optional function of MAXIMUS2.0, including automotive oscilloscope and automotive ignition waveform. Automotive borescope is mainly applied to those unseen parts of engine, fuel tank, braking system. Automotive oscilloscope can make the auto repair technician quickly judged the faults on automotive electronic equipment and wiring, and the oscilloscope sweep speed is far greater than the signal frequency of such vehicles, usually 5-10 times of the measured signal. The automotive oscilloscope not only can quickly capture the circuit signal, but also can slowly display the waveform to observe and analyze. It can also record and store the tested signal waveform which can be played back to observe for the fast signal, having great convenience to failure analysis. Either high-speed signal (e.g.: injection nozzle, intermittent fault signal) or the slow-speed signal (e.g. the throttle position change and the oxygen sensor signal) can be observed through automotive oscilloscope in an appropriate waveform. While testing a vehicle system, engine is one of the main parts to be checked. To check if the internal of a engine is qualified or not or whether internal carbon deposit and damage exists in the engine or not, we can make full use of a borescope to solve these quesitons. The electronic signal can be compared and judged via measuring five parameters indexes. The five parameters indexes are the amplitude (the maximum voltage of signal), the frequency (the cycle time of signal), the shape (the appearance of signal), the pulse width (the duty cycle or the time range of signal), and the array (the repetition characteristic of signal), which can be tested, displayed, saved by the automotive oscilloscope. Via the waveform analysis can further detect the circuit fault on sensors, actuators, circuits, and electronic control units, etc. MAXIMUS2.0 provides an optional function of borescope. The borescope is mainly composed of an inspection camera, flexible tube and USB cable. The waterresistant camera lens with adjustable LED lights enables you to observe the parts that can not be seen in wet, dark, fluid soaked places. The included flexible tube is convenient for easy inspection and allows for access to hard-to-reach areas. In addition, the captured pictures and videos also provide you intuitive data for easy analysis. 35 MAXIMUS2.0 User's Manual 10 Others 10.1.3 View an email 10.1 Email 1.
