Sensor 
 
3.1 Connection 
The sensor simulation function can accurately judge the quality of the sensor 
and reduce blind replacement of accessories. For example, the DTC shows that 
the water temperature sensor is faulty, but whether it is the fault of the water 
temperature sensor itself, or the wiring between the sensor and ECU, or the fault 
of the ECU itself still needs further diagnosis. At this time, the signal of the water 
temperature sensor can be simulated by the simulation function instead of the 
water  temperature  sensor  and  inputted  to  the  microcomputer.  If  the  engine 
working  condition  is  improved  and  the  fault  symptom  disappears,  it  can  be 
judged as a fault of the water temperature sensor. If the fault symptom persists, 
directly input the signal at the corresponding terminal of the ECU. If the fault 
symptom disappears, it is the wiring fault between the water temperature sensor 
and ECU. If the fault symptom persists, it can be judged as a fault of the ECU 
itself. 
The following connections are required for detecting sensors: 
1)
 
Connect the sensor module to the diagnostic tool via the USB cable (refer to 
Chapter 2.1). 
2)
 
Remove the sensor connected to the ECU. 
3)
 
According  to  the  specific  application  and  bus  terminal  types,  make  the 
following  connections  (note:  when  performing  the  sensor  functions,  the 
hardware output ports of the sensor module are CH1 and CH2).
