What does the MS906S model's features provide in daily work?

The service tablet on the MS906S model determines the device's connection or hardware structure. Vehicle coverage is based on the list of brands, models, years, and systems published by the manufacturer. Live data on the MS906S model is used to monitor complaint-related data under the same operating conditions.

The technician saves measurement units and test time for live data; compares the second data set obtained with the MS906S model to the initial recording. Maintenance functions with the MS906S model execute the service procedure of the relevant system after physical maintenance is completed.

On-screen ignition, gear, parking brake, or voltage conditions are applied sequentially; maintenance functions completed with the MS906S model are checked along with the physical result in the vehicle.

After the technician prepares the MS906S 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 MS906S screen does not solely indicate that the operation is complete or the fault is resolved.

Live data with the MS906S model

Live data with the MS906S model is initiated by defining the safe operating conditions under which the customer complaint occurred. Only data channels related to the fault are selected on the MS906S screen; unnecessary PIDs are excluded from recording.

The MS906S 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 MS906S 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 with the MS906S under the same conditions 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

Maintenance functions with the MS906S model

Before maintenance functions with the MS906S model are accessed, it is confirmed that the relevant physical maintenance has been completed. The correct vehicle, system, and maintenance menu are opened on the MS906S through separate selections.

Vehicle, system, and service function for the MS906S are verified on the manufacturer's current support list; ignition, gear, parking brake, and voltage steps are applied according to the vehicle manufacturer's procedure. When the operation is complete, the MS906S checks the dashboard warning, fault code, and new service value.

The MS906S operation result is added to the service record along with the vehicle mileage, date, and physical maintenance performed.

• Verify vehicle identity
• Save the initial system scan
• Check vehicle coverage information
• Re-scan after service operation

Initial system scan upon vehicle reception with the MS906S model

When performing an initial system scan upon vehicle reception with the MS906S model, the vehicle ID is verified and supported control units are scanned. The MS906S 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 MS906S are added to the vehicle reception record.

Codes are not cleared before the MS906S initial report is obtained; a single fault record does not directly lead to a parts replacement decision. The MS906S reception scan is added to the service form, specifying the customer complaint and systems to be monitored.

• Verify vehicle identity
• Save the initial system scan
• Check vehicle coverage information
• Re-scan after service operation

Product details

Reviewing fault codes and event logs together with the MS906S model

During the review of fault codes and event logs together with the MS906S model, the registered and current fault codes of the relevant control unit are first read. The MS906S 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 MS906S service form. The technician compares the MS906S data with the customer complaint and physical test results; the event log alone does not identify the faulty part. After the MS906S review is completed, whether the code was cleared and the next diagnostic step are written to the report.

• Verify vehicle identity
• Save the initial system scan
• Check vehicle coverage information
• Re-scan after service operation
