When the car starts and all cables are connected well, the software driver is installed, but it fails to test, the first thing to do is self-test, self-test can help make sure whether the hardware is working or not. Take my own story for example, several days, when I start DAS, it says it is developer version, but the software is developer version under some menus. I am NOT connected to the internet when diagnosing a car, only the SD-Box is connected to the notebook via WLAN. Is it or is it not a developer version?
Then I need to firstly well set the MB SD C4, then go to self-test C4, finally find out where is the problem according to the self-test results. I would like to share the steps on self-test.
Step 1: click “STAR UTILITIES”.
Step 2: Click “Self Diagnosis” and then click “CAESAR Self Diagnosis”.
Step 3: under SDconnect Toolkit, the toolkit is being initialized, several seconds later, the self-test has started, I find the signal light is receiving sign, and SDconnect name displays Part D and the Power supply display “Vehicle”, the process display the procedure.
Step 4: after the self-test is finished, again click “CAESAR Self Diagnosis” to open the self-test report. Take the following report for example, the following reports shows MB Star Diagnostic Tools MB SD C4 has no problem.
Device: Part D
Toolkit-Resultcode:1
SDconnect Toolkit – device diagnostic – Part D
