What does the FX6100 model offer in daily work?
Service control with the FX6100 model executes the service procedure of the relevant system after physical maintenance is completed. Screen conditions such as ignition, gear, parking brake, or voltage are applied sequentially; the service control completed with the FX6100 model is checked against the physical result in the vehicle.
Live data on the FX6100 model is used to monitor complaint-related data under the same operating conditions. The technician saves measurement units and test time for live data; they compare the second data set obtained with the FX6100 model to the initial record.
When the FX6100 model is used in a workshop, the screen layout, VCI connection, power management, and report transfer directly affect the daily workflow. Package contents specify the VCI, cables, adapters, and other accessories provided with the main device.
After the technician prepares the FX6100 connection, they record the initial scan, apply the selected function according to the manufacturer's procedure; they save the initial finding, the performed operation, and the final check in the same service report. Opening a menu on the FX6100 screen does not solely indicate that the operation is complete or the fault is resolved.

Live Data with FX6100 Model
Live data with the FX6100 model is initiated by defining a safe working condition where the customer complaint occurred. Only data channels related to the fault are selected on the FX6100 screen; unnecessary PIDs are excluded from the recording.
The FX6100 model saves live data with measurement units; operating conditions such as vehicle ID, test time, engine speed, load, and temperature are added to the record. The technician interprets sudden changes on the FX6100 along with fault codes and event logs; a single value does not directly lead to a parts replacement decision.
After repair, a second data recording is taken under the same conditions with the FX6100, and the two results are compared side-by-side.
- Define test conditions
- Select relevant PIDs
- Record data with units
- Compare under the same conditions after repair

The VCI model, software version, and vehicle identity used with the FX6100 are added to the vehicle reception record.
Codes are not deleted before the FX6100 initial report is obtained; a single fault record does not directly lead to a parts replacement decision. The FX6100 reception scan is added to the service form, specifying the customer complaint and the systems to be monitored.
- Verify vehicle identity
- Save the initial system scan
- Check vehicle coverage information
- Re-scan after service operation

Reviewing fault codes and event logs together with the FX6100 model
During the review of fault codes and event logs together with the FX6100 model, the recorded and current fault codes of the relevant control unit are read first. The FX6100 saves accessible event data such as RPM, temperature, voltage, or mileage at the time of the fault in the same report as the code.
Vehicle ID, control unit, and software version are added to the FX6100 service form. The technician compares the FX6100 data with the customer complaint and physical test results; the event log alone does not identify the faulty part. Upon completion of the FX6100 review, whether the code was cleared and the next control step are written to the report.
- Verify vehicle identity
- Save the initial system scan
- Check vehicle coverage information
- Re-scan after service operation
Product details
Re-checking fault codes after repair with the FX6100 model

After the vehicle is brought to a similar operating state, the FX6100 scans the same systems again. The FX6100 final report explains the cleared, returned, and ongoing fault records along with the performed repair.
- Verify vehicle identity
- Save the initial system scan
- Check vehicle coverage information
- Re-scan after service operation
