Testing on a 2016 Corolla
Note: not sponsored or affiliated with Autel anyway
Boot up quickly, for 4 seconds around
Enter generic OBDII (check Engine symbol)
Connect in generic mode - fast
Read codes: stored codes, pending codes, permanent codes
Enter live data - PID loading quickly
Using the custom list to graph some live data
Short term fuel trim and RPM should work for this test
Maximum graphs allowed is only 2 at a time
There is also no amplitude adjustment for the graphs
At least the graphs has a quick response time
A combined graph
Have to edit the contrast because it is difficult to see
Personally would not recommend using the merged graphs because it’s not easy to see and keep track
I guess, in some occasion, having a merged graph is better than none
Enter on-board monitor test (mode 6)
Toyota
Looks like the monitor id’s are translated
Non-translated id’s will show up in HEX like ($01)
Mis-fire monitor data
Purge flow monitor
Looks like not all test id’s are translated
Non-translated id’s can make some diagnosis difficult
Also not all the test id’s applies to this vehicle
Here’s an example of translated id’s of the same car from my another scanner
Exit the main menu
On to the enhanced portion of Autel MD808 (the one that reads Scan)
Here is the major downside of this scanner
There’s no auto id
The scanner is updated, but for some reason, the latest is the year 2014 (the vehicle is a 2016)
Good luck on knowing the engine
All vehicle information
Auto scan
Since the scanner is a regular MD808, it will show Engine, Trans, ABS and SRS only
If someone here is looking for MD808 for full-system diagnostic, you can go to http://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/autel-maxidiag-md808-pro.html
Enter ECU and read live data
The data list seems to be mixed around where some can be graphed and some cannot
But there seems to be a bit of second lag when existing the control unit
I give this Autel MD808 a 3.9 Star as a first impression because it could be better for its price. (Rating may change after further testing)
At least compared to the Launch crp129 I used in the past, the MD808 is the clear winner.
