II. Vehicle diagnostics with the Abrites Diagnostics for Bikes, Snowmobiles and Water Scooters
The Abrites Diagnostics for Bikes, Snowmobiles and Water Scooters software consists of basically two parts.
1. Standard diagnostic functions ­ Reading DTCs/ Clearing DTCs (fault codes)/ Scanning available modules and extended module identification, Data display in the supported vehicles.
When performing standard diagnostics the first step that needs to be performed is to select the type of vehicle that requires the diagnostic service. By default your first screen will be set to the "Vehicle selection" tab:

From this screen you will need to select the vehicle "Category" (e.g. Bike, Snowmobile, Water Scooter), the "Make" (e.g. Aprilia, BMW, Ducati, Kawasaki, Gilera, Piaggio, Suzuki, etc.) and the "Model".
NOTE: For the purposes of the manual we are using a Suzuki motorcycle, the model is DL650K7-L2. This motorcycle has two electronic modules available. The principle is similar with any vehicle tested by the Abrites Diagnostics for Bikes, Snowmobiles and Water Scooters. The two available electronic modules of this motorcycle are the Engine Control Unit and the Anti-lock Braking System. In the "Protocol" field of the diagnostic screen we can determine that both units use the KWP protocol.

The display field will inform you about the establishment of a diagnostic session with the selected unit. It will also provide information about the protocol and on multiple occasions it will automatically display the unit identification in terms of Part number and Component ID.
- Selecting the "Identification" button will allow you to see the unit's Part number and Component ID (This is mostly used for searching for replacement parts):

-Selecting the "Read DTC" button will read the Diagnostic Trouble Codes from the unit (if present), it will display it with the factory number of DTC as well as the appropriate text identification (if available):

- Once the vehicle is repaired and the issue is removed the "Clear DTC" button is selected. This will remove the Diagnostic Trouble Code from the unit's memory thus allowing the vehicle to operate correctly:
- The "Data Display" button provides a complete "actual value data" view of the vehicle in one, multiple or all parameters by gathering information from the vehicle's sensors. This function is extremely helpful when determining a hidden fault within a vehicle or analyzing the "behavior" after specific modifications or repairs have been made:

- The "Data Display" menu provides two different views. The "List" view, as shown above allows selection of sensors with a check box list. The list can be customized and its order can be modified by the user for a more accurate overview of the vehicle values. The "Graph" view allows the monitoring of a parameter in a graphic form in order to determine patterns and behavioral changes. It provides the available sensor signals in a drop down menu where a value can be selected:

- "Custom Request" allows the user to send custom signals to the electronic units and monitor the response in a table view. The custom request can be saved for reference:

to follow the instructions you see on the screen. Make sure to have your transponder programmer attached. -Programming a key with a Temic transponder requires the TAG key programmer to be connected to your AVDI. Once you have done that the Software will establish a connection to the unit and you will see the following screen:

Once the connection to the unit is established you will be asked to select the key position and you should see the following screen:
Once that is done the software will ask you what programming operation you would like to perform. You can clone or replace the existing transponder by selecting the appropriate button:

In this case we see that a master key is used and you should leave the position to its default. After clicking "Next" the software will inform you how to place the transponder within the key programmer antenna (aerial):

When you click next here you will need to wait a few seconds and the transponder will be ready for use.
-Programming keys for BMW motorcycles. In this case we are using a Hitag 2 transponder and a TAG transponder programmer. The first step is to connect the programmer and establish a diagnostic connection with the unit:

III. Connecting your AVDI to various Bikes, Snowmobiles and Water Scooters
1. Unlike cars, where the standard for the diagnostic connection is unified under the OBDII connectors the motorcycles, snowmobiles and water scooters use a variety of connectors. The connection to the on board diagnostic connectors of these vehicles can be established in the following steps: - Determining the location of the diagnostic connectors. In the majority of cases the diagnostics connectors are located under the seat of the vehicle. - Determining the type of connectors required for the specific vehicle. Once the type of connector that is required for the vehicle in question is discovered the users can proceed to the next step. - "Translating" the signal from the On board diagnostic connector to the AVDI.
2. In the photos below you can see various connector locations, types and connection cable pin outs.
- Suzuki motorcycles, quads, snowmobiles and water scooters most commonly have their 6 pin connector under the seat:

In the photo below you can see it in white, it has a rubber waterproof cap which needs to be removed in order for the connector to be exposed.

Here you can see the two connected on the vehicle:

The connection from the Suzuki vehicles to your AVDI is established by connecting the 6 pin connector to a DB9 connector and then to a DB25 connector in order for the signal to enter the DB25 connector on the AVDI via the following table:

DB9 PIN 1 ­ Ground PIN 4 ­ K--line
PIN 9 ­ 12V

DB25 PIN 5- Ground PIN 8 ­ K ­ line Pin 17 ­ 12 Volts

V. Troubleshooting steps
1. Connection issues One of the most common faults that may occur with the Abrites Diagnostics for Bikes, Snowmobiles and Water Scooters is the impossibility of the software and interface to connect to the vehicle, subjected to diagnostics. In the example below the vehicle is defined and a module is being selected for diagnostics:

Once the Abrites Diagnostics for Bikes, Snowmobiles and Water Scooters attempts to establish a diagnostic connection, however, the following error message is displayed:

Abrites Diagnostics for Bikes, Snowmobiles and Water Scooters User Manual

Other connection issues may occur when the transponder programmer is not connected to your AVDI during key learning. You will see the following error:

Possible causes for this issue may be: - The AVDI is not connected to the user's computer. - The diagnostic connector is inappropriately connected. -The transponder programmer is not connected. In both cases please make sure to check the connections or contact support@abrites.com.
2. Log files The log files are an essential part of the troubleshooting process. They are required to establish the root causes of issues, that have occurred unexpectedly. In most cases this is concerning the communication between the AVDI and the modules of the vehicle or the communication between the modules within the vehicle itself. Always make sure to attach the files from when the issue occurred to an e-mail sent to the support team. This will speed up the process of resolving an issue in case it is present. Please note that the log files can be located under: Start -> Programs -> ABRITES software for IDxxxxxx-> Log Files (where IDxxxxxx is your ADVI ID) or in the second page of the "Quick Start" menu under the "LOG" icon. In this directory you will see a list of folders. Please access the "BIKE" folder and copy the ".log" files from the time and date the issue occurred and attach them in your e-mail.
