What does the HML Box model provide in daily work?

This communication module establishes communication between a compatible Thinktool main device and the 12/24 V heavy-duty vehicle line. Main device compatibility is checked via the main device and vehicle group before connecting the module.

The module does not create vehicle coverage on its own for commercial vehicle use; the heavy-duty software on the main device and the appropriate connector set are required together. Cable coverage must match the truck, bus, or other commercial vehicle group to be worked on. The HML Box is a vehicle communication module, not a standalone diagnostic device with a screen.

The vehicle group, software package, and physical cable set must match each other in the same service connection. When communication is established with the module, the main device, module serial number, vehicle group, and the connector used are recorded in the service record. At the end of the job, the 12/24 V connection, cables, and connectors are physically inspected again.

  • Cable Coverage
  • Vehicle Group

Product details

Initial connection with the socket suitable for the vehicle group using the HML Box model

Before connecting the HML Box model to a heavy-duty vehicle, the vehicle type, 12/24 V power supply, and chassis socket are determined. The HML Box model connectors and cable set are physically checked. The vehicle group, supply voltage, connector, and heavy-duty software are matched.

When the HML Box model is turned on, the vehicle identity and the first communicating control unit are recorded. If the HML Box model cannot establish communication, power, socket, cable, and software selection are tested individually.

  • Determine vehicle type and voltage
  • Select the correct chassis socket
  • Physically inspect the cable set
  • Record the initial communication result

Product details

Scanning engine and emission control units with the HML Box model

When scanning engine and emission control units with the HML Box model, the vehicle group is opened under the correct software. The HML Box model preserves engine, exhaust aftertreatment, and related powertrain codes in the initial report. Vehicle identity, connection set, and software version are added to the initial service report.

The HML Box model saves operating hours and event data accompanying the codes. Deletion or service commands are applied after the fault inspection on the HML Box model is completed.

  • Scan engine and emission systems
  • Store fault codes with event data
  • Verify vehicle group and software package
  • Inspect fault before deletion

Product details

Recording live data under operating conditions with the HML Box model

Live data recording with the HML Box model begins by entering the engine's operating status and load information. The HML Box model collects fuel, pressure, temperature, and emission-related values under the relevant system. Vehicle identity, control unit, and software version are included in the data recording.

The HML Box model saves values with their units and measurement time. After the repair, the HML Box model takes a second recording under the same operating conditions and compares the differences.

  • Record engine operating conditions
  • Select relevant live data
  • Store values with their units
  • Compare after repair

Product details

Rescanning after service operation with the HML Box model

After the service operation, the HML Box model reconnects to the same vehicle and control units. The HML Box model displays the codes from the initial report, the completed operation, and the final scan side-by-side. A second scan is taken using the same connector set and software version.

The HML Box model performs the necessary function check according to the vehicle manufacturer's procedure. The HML Box model clearly indicates ongoing codes and new findings in the customer report.

  • Reopen the initial report
  • Scan the same systems one last time
  • Complete the function check
  • Report ongoing codes separately

Product details

How is the vehicle coverage of the HML Box model verified?

Definitive compatibility cannot be stated for the HML Box model without selecting the truck, tractor, or bus group, engine, 12/24 V connection, and connector together. The Thinkcar official coverage tool shows which system, service function, or protocol is activated for the selected vehicle and control unit for the HML Box.

The presence of a brand line does not prove that active testing, coding, programming, TPMS relearn, or security gateway access is also enabled on the HML Box.

Before ordering, prepare the VIN or full model information, model year, engine/chassis distinction, and the intended operation for the HML Box; also check the software version, license period, VCI, adapter, and regional package.

  • HML Box model: Prepare brand, model, model year, and engine/chassis information
  • HML Box model: Select the desired system and operation separately; read, live data, active test, coding, or programming
  • HML Box model: Verify ECU and function line in the official coverage tool
  • HML Box model: Check VCI, cable, adapter, license, and regional package conditions
  • HML Box model: final check with VIN and manufacturer procedure before transaction

Product details

HML Box model technical specifications and compatibility information

Main device compatibility, cable coverage, and vehicle group module's 12/24 V heavy-duty vehicle connection are determined. The HML Box is not a standalone diagnostic device; a compatible Thinktool tablet, heavy-duty vehicle software, and a connector set suitable for the vehicle socket are required.

J1939 or brand-specific communication support depends on the main device and software package used. Access to engine, transmission, brake, superstructure, and emission systems varies according to the manufacturer's current vehicle list. The module label, serial number, and delivered cables are checked before use.

  • Main device compatibility: The physical parts and box contents delivered with the HML Box model must match
  • Cable coverage: The physical parts and box contents delivered with the HML Box model must match
  • Vehicle group: The manufacturer's current list based on brand, model, year, and system is used for the HML Box model

Product details

How is the HML Box model used in the workshop?

Working with the HML Box model begins with writing the vehicle or equipment ID and the heavy-duty vehicle connection request into the work order. The technician prepares the main device compatibility condition and records the initial scan or connection test with the HML Box model.

Only the relevant system is opened on the HML Box model; if there is an active command or write operation, the vehicle voltage is monitored throughout the process. After the application is completed, the HML Box model rescans the same system. The vehicle group is shown in the service report along with the initial record and the operation performed with the HML Box model.

  • Record the initial status for heavy-duty vehicle connection
  • Prepare main device compatibility condition
  • Apply the heavy-duty vehicle connection process according to the manufacturer's procedure
