How to Use Autel Can FD Adapter:

Here’s how to use the Autel CAN FD Adapter:

1. Check Compatibility

• Make sure your Autel scanner is compatible with the CAN FD Adapter. Some models like the Autel MaxiSys Elite, MS908S Pro, and other high-end scanners support CAN FD with the adapter.

2. Update Your Scanner

• Before using the CAN FD Adapter, ensure that your scanner has the latest software version. Connect your scanner to Wi-Fi and download the latest updates from the Autel software update menu.

3. Connect the CAN FD Adapter

• Locate the OBD-II port in the vehicle (usually under the dashboard on the driver’s side).
• Plug the Autel CAN FD Adapter into the OBD-II port.
• Plug the other end of the CAN FD Adapter into your diagnostic scanner or its VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) module.

4. Select the Vehicle

• Power on the scanner and select the vehicle model and year. The CAN FD protocol is typically used in newer vehicles, especially GM models.
• Your scanner should automatically detect the use of the CAN FD Adapter and establish communication.

5. Run Diagnostics

• Proceed with the diagnostic functions (read trouble codes, perform module coding, data logging, etc.) as usual. The CAN FD Adapter facilitates communication between the scanner and the vehicle’s advanced communication networks.

6. Remove the Adapter

• Once you’re done, power off the scanner, unplug the CAN FD Adapter from the vehicle’s OBD-II port, and store it safely for future use.
