VCMI2 measurement and communication interface
The VCMI2 interface of the Ultra S2 should not be considered merely a VCI that communicates with the vehicle. For users who want to consolidate communication, measurement, and signal analysis needs in the same device set in the workshop, VCI/J2534, oscilloscope, multimeter, and CAN-Bus test probes come in the same set.
J2534 pass-thru programming interface
4-channel oscilloscope and multimeter
Waveform generator and CAN-Bus tester
Independent use support for Remote Expert workflow
Product details
Topology 3.0 and vehicle network analysis
Topology 3.0 displays the network structure and module positions of control units in modern vehicles on the same screen, rather than just listing them. Module status, network integrity, and communication quality are analyzed faster on the same screen; coverage varies by vehicle and control unit.
Scan based on ECU network and module position
Quick prioritization with color-coded module status
ECU ping, signal quality, and network integrity check
Using screens such as Topology, DTC, live data, and component location simultaneously
Product details
Live data, PID analysis, and recording comparison
The Ultra S2 uses live data not just as an instantaneous value table, but as the center of the fault-finding process. Multiple PIDs can be grouped simultaneously, value changes between systems can be compared, and pre/post-repair records can be saved to support service decisions.
Examine multiple PID selections and related parameters on the same screen
Record and compare live data values from different systems
Monitor minimum, maximum, and average values in selected PID recordings
Switch from live data screen to oscilloscope examination
Product details
How to read 48+ service functions?
The Ultra S2 service menu provides direct access to frequently used maintenance tasks such as oil maintenance reset, EPB, SAS, DPF, battery registration, throttle body, ABS bleeding, injector coding, and power balance.
This list does not mean the same menu will open on every vehicle; actual coverage is determined by brand, model, year, ECU, and software license.
Quick access to frequently used reset and adaptation menus in intensive workshops
Use active test, special functions, coding, and adaptation on the same tablet
Check access conditions for vehicles with SGW according to the license and vehicle manufacturer's procedure
Product details
Package and accessory check
For devices in this price range, to accurately assess the price, the VCMI2, dock, main cable, measurement probes, oscilloscope tips, adapters, carrying case, and optional EV/TPMS/ADAS equipment that come with the tablet are checked separately. Missing accessories can make a lower price expensive in actual use.
Tablet, VCMI2, dock, and main cable contents
Oscilloscope, multimeter, back-probe, and clip accessories
Separate package check if EV, TPMS, ADAS, or battery test equipment is required
Product details
What models is the Ultra S2 compared with?
The Ultra S2 is compared with the MaxiSys Ultra, MS919S2, and MS909S2 in terms of screen, tablet hardware, and VCMI2 functions. For a lower budget, the MS909S2 or MS908S3; for EV tasks, the Ultra S2 EV or MS909 EV; for heavy-duty vehicles, the MS909CV and MS908CV II are considered.
Product details
Initial system scan during vehicle acceptance with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 model
During the initial system scan at vehicle acceptance with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 model, the vehicle ID is verified and supported control units are scanned. The MaxiSys Ultra S2 saves communicating systems, fault codes, and accessible event information together in the initial report.
The VCI model, software version, and vehicle ID used with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 are added to the vehicle acceptance record. Codes are not cleared before the MaxiSys Ultra S2 initial report is obtained; a single fault record does not directly lead to a parts replacement decision.
The MaxiSys Ultra S2 acceptance scan is added to the service form, specifying the customer complaint and systems to be followed.
Verify vehicle identity
Save the initial system scan
Check package contents information
Re-scan after service operation
Product details
Live data recording under fault conditions with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 model
Live data recording under fault conditions with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 model is initiated by defining a safe operating condition where the customer complaint occurs. Only data channels related to the fault are selected on the MaxiSys Ultra S2 screen; unnecessary PIDs are excluded from the recording.
The MaxiSys Ultra S2 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 MaxiSys Ultra S2 along with the fault code and event log; 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 MaxiSys Ultra S2, 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
Product details
Reviewing fault codes and event logs together with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 model
When reviewing fault codes and event logs together with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 model, the recorded and current fault codes of the relevant control unit are read first. The MaxiSys Ultra S2 saves accessible event data such as speed, 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 MaxiSys Ultra S2 service form. The technician compares the MaxiSys Ultra S2 data with the customer complaint and physical test results; the event log alone does not identify the faulty part.
After the MaxiSys Ultra S2 review is completed, whether the code is cleared and the next control step are written to the report.
Verify vehicle identity
Save the initial system scan
Check package contents information
Re-scan after service operation
Product details
Re-checking fault codes after repair with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 model
To re-check fault codes after repair with the MaxiSys Ultra S2 model, the vehicle and control unit from the initial service report are reopened. The MaxiSys Ultra S2 displays the codes found before the repair and related live data measurements as a reference.
In the second recording taken with the MaxiSys Ultra S2, the vehicle ID, software version, and test conditions are compared with the initial recording. After bringing the vehicle to a similar operating state, the MaxiSys Ultra S2 rescans the same systems.
The MaxiSys Ultra S2 final report explains the cleared, returned, and ongoing fault records along with the performed repair.
