What do the Expert 391 model features provide in daily work?

The DoIP/CAN FD on the Expert 391 model determines the device's connection or hardware structure. Protocol support indicates the device's physical usage or vehicle connection conditions. Online programming with the Expert 391 model is applied only to control units supported in the manufacturer's current vehicle and function list.

Existing software or settings are saved first; vehicle voltage, internet, and VCI connection are maintained until writing is completed. The Expert 391 model performs vehicle selection, system scanning, and service recording within the professional service workflow on the same device. The vehicle group is based on the make, model, year, and system list published by the manufacturer.

After the technician prepares the Expert 391 connection, they save the initial scan, apply the selected function according to the manufacturer's procedure; they save the initial finding, the performed service, and the final check in the same service report. The opening of a menu on the Expert 391 screen does not solely indicate that the service is completed or the fault is resolved.

Product details

Online programming with the Expert 391 model

Before online programming begins with the Expert 391 model, the vehicle, control unit, and software package to be used are verified. The Expert 391 saves the existing coding or software information as a rollback record. For the Expert 391, the vehicle, model year, control unit, and writing function are verified in the current list published by Thinkcar.

Throughout the service, vehicle voltage is kept stable with a suitable power supply; the Expert 391 is used without interruption of internet and VCI connection. In the final scan, this device reports the writing result along with the control unit status and error logs.

  • Verify vehicle and control unit
  • Save existing software information
  • Maintain stable connection with voltage
  • Obtain final scan after programming

Product details

Initial system scan upon vehicle acceptance with the Expert 391 model

When performing an initial system scan upon vehicle acceptance with the Expert 391 model, the vehicle identity is verified, and supported control units are scanned. The Expert 391 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 Expert 391 are added to the vehicle acceptance record. Codes are not cleared before the Expert 391 initial report is obtained; a single error record does not directly lead to a part replacement decision. The Expert 391 intake 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 protocol support information
  • Re-scan after service operation

Product details

Live data recording under fault conditions with the Expert 391 model

Live data recording under fault conditions with the Expert 391 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 Expert 391 screen; unnecessary PIDs are excluded from the recording.

The Expert 391 model saves live data with measurement units; operating conditions such as vehicle identity, test time, engine speed, load, and temperature are added to the recording. The technician interprets sudden changes on the Expert 391 along with fault codes and event logs; a single value does not directly lead to a part replacement decision.

After repair, a second data recording is taken under the same conditions with the Expert 391, 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

Review fault code and event log together with the Expert 391 model

When reviewing fault codes and event logs together with the Expert 391 model, the recorded and current error codes of the relevant control unit are read first. The Expert 391 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 identity, control unit, and software version are added to the Expert 391 service form. The technician compares the Expert 391 data with the customer complaint and physical test results; the event log alone does not identify the faulty part. Upon completion of the Expert 391 review, whether the code was cleared and the next check step are recorded.

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

How to verify vehicle coverage for the Expert 391 model?

Definitive compatibility cannot be stated for the Expert 391 model without selecting the vehicle make, model, year, engine, control unit, and the intended service together. The Thinkcar official coverage tool shows which systems, service functions, or protocols are enabled for the selected vehicle and control unit for the Expert 391.

The appearance of the brand line does not prove that active tests, coding, programming, TPMS relearn, or security gateway access are also enabled on the Expert 391.

Before ordering, prepare the VIN or full model information, model year, engine/chassis distinction, and the intended service for the Expert 391; software version, license period, VCI, adapter, and regional package must also be checked.

  • Expert 391 model: prepare make, model, model year, and engine/chassis information
  • Expert 391 model: select desired system and service separately; read, live data, active test, coding, or programming
  • Expert 391 model: verify ECU and function line in the official coverage tool
  • Expert 391 model: check VCI, cable, adapter, license, and regional package conditions
