Vehicle Group
Passenger cars and light commercial vehicles included in the product software
Supported makes
Multi-brand coverage; the current make list is obtained from the manufacturer's official vehicle or protocol database.
Supported models
Verified from the official coverage screen based on make, model, model year, engine or chassis, and control unit.
Scope of service
Code reading, live data, active test, service function, coding, and programming may be supported separately.
Connection conditions
Wired connection, mileage and service interval difference, Vehicle coverage
The make and model examples on the page do not guarantee all production years and all functions.
Before any definitive operation, the manufacturer's current coverage record must be verified with the VIN or full vehicle information.
After connecting the MX900 to the vehicle with the main OBD/DLC cable, it attempts to identify the vehicle using AutoVIN. If the VIN does not appear automatically, the VIN can be entered manually, the VIN or license plate can be read with the camera, the vehicle can be selected from the make-model menu, or the general OBDII/EOBD screen can be accessed.
Auto Scan sequentially scans the engine, transmission, ABS, SRS, climate control, body control, steering, parking brake, and other accessible modules in the vehicle. In the Control Unit menu, the technician can select a single ECU and directly access the code, live data, active test, and special function screens.
Vehicle Identification: AutoVIN, manual VIN, VIN/license plate reading via camera, and manual vehicle selection
Batch Scan: View a list of communicable ECUs with their fault status
ECU Details: Part number, software version, hardware information, and control unit ID
Quick OBDII/EOBD: Emission-related fault codes, readiness, and basic live data screen
Product details
Read and clear fault codes on vehicles
When reading fault codes, the MX900 displays current, history, or pending DTC records within the selected ECU, along with their descriptions. For vehicles supporting freeze frame, records such as RPM, temperature, speed, load, fuel trim, or sensor values at the moment the fault occurred are displayed.
Before repair, record the code, freeze frame, and live data first, instead of clearing the code; after the physical fault is fixed, clear the code and perform another scan.
View DTC status, description, and relevant ECU information on the same screen

Product details
Monitor component response with active tests
An active test is when the MX900 sends a command to the ECU to operate or change the position of a supported component. The technician issues the command from the device; the component's sound, movement, current response, or live data value is monitored on the vehicle.
Autel's official product information includes examples of headlight, fuel pump, climate control cycle, and valve tests; the user manual provides examples of solenoid, relay, and switch triggering. The goal during testing is not to force the component, but to see if the physical response matches the ECU command.
See if the live data value changes while the command is being issued
Speed up the differentiation between component, cable, fuse, relay, and ECU commands
See on the screen that the test menu is limited to the commands offered by the vehicle's ECU software
Product details
40+ service functions for daily use
The MX900 model's service menu provides quick access to reset, adaptation, and calibration procedures that allow the ECU to learn its new state after component replacement or maintenance.
Autel's store page uses the term 40+ service functions for the MX900; the user manual details oil maintenance, EPB, BMS, SAS, DPF, basic TPMS, and IMMO menus.
Procedures such as throttle reset, ABS bleeding, battery registration, steering angle calibration, and parking brake service mode are the most frequently used items in daily service workflows.
Oil Maintenance: Resetting the engine oil life indicator, maintenance interval, and supported service intervals
EPB: Placing the electronic parking brake in service mode, releasing/applying after brake pad/disc service, and calibration

Product details
How is mileage information read on vehicles?
Mileage on the MX900 is divided into two categories: current mileage recorded in the service report and resetting the vehicle's maintenance/service indicator. The current mileage field in the user manual is for the technician to enter the mileage seen on the vehicle when preparing the report.
Resetting the oil life or service interval does not change the total odometer; it only initiates the maintenance reminder on supported vehicles based on the new service. The current manufacturer feature list and the MX900 V2.3 manual do not list total mileage change or odometer correction as an MX900 feature.
Mileage in the service report
Entered by the technician into the reportThis field does not change the vehicle's odometer and is not an automatic mileage reading claim on its own.
Maintenance mileage
Service reminder is reset on supported vehiclesOil life, maintenance interval, or service interval is initiated based on the new maintenance.
Total odometer
Not listed as a function to changeThe MX900 is not offered as a mileage rollback, rollback, or odometer correction device.
Post-service usage
Verified by clearing codes and re-scanningAfter the maintenance procedure is completed, the warning screen is displayed and the relevant ECU is read again.
Product details
Pre-Scan, Post-Scan, and service report
Pre-Scan records the electronic status of the vehicle upon entry into service; Post-Scan performs a re-scan on the same vehicle after repair or maintenance. This allows the DTC list seen at customer acceptance to be compared with the results before delivery in the same report. License plate, current mileage, customer information, workshop information, photos, and technician notes can be added to the report.
PDF reports can be viewed on the device, shared, or printed via network printing/PC-Link streaming.
Record initial DTC and module status at vehicle intake

Active tests and service functions with the MX900 model
Before performing active tests and service functions with the MX900 model, the correct vehicle and control unit are selected. The MX900 initially records relevant fault codes, live data, and vehicle voltage. For the MX900, the vehicle, model year, control unit, and active test function are verified against the manufacturer's current support list.
If the command is to move a fan, pump, valve, or other actuator, the work area must be secured before using the MX900. After the test is completed, this device re-reads the same system and displays the observed physical response alongside the on-screen result in the service report.
Select the correct vehicle and system
Record initial codes and live data
Allow safe space for moving parts
Report system response after command
Product details
Initial system scan at vehicle intake with the MX900 model
When performing the initial system scan at vehicle intake with the MX900 model, the vehicle identity is verified and supported control units are scanned. The MX900 saves the communicating systems, fault codes, and accessible event information together in the initial report. The VCI model, software version, and vehicle identity used with the MX900 are added to the vehicle intake record.
Codes are not cleared before the MX900 initial report is generated; a single fault record does not directly lead to a parts replacement decision. The MX900 intake 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 wired connection information
Re-scan after service operation
Product details
Live data recording under fault conditions with the MX900 model
Live data recording under fault conditions with the MX900 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 MX900 screen; unnecessary PIDs are excluded from recording.
The MX900 model stores live data with measurement units; operating conditions such as vehicle ID, test time, engine RPM, load, and temperature are added to the recording. The technician interprets sudden changes on the MX900 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 MX900 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 MX900 model
When reviewing fault codes and event logs together with the MX900 model, first, the stored and current fault codes of the relevant control unit are read. The MX900 stores 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 MX900 service form. The technician compares the MX900 data with the customer complaint and physical test results; the event log alone does not identify the faulty part. After the MX900 review is complete, it is noted in the report whether the code was cleared and the next control step.
Verify vehicle identity
Save the initial system scan
Check wired connection information
Re-scan after service operation
