Проблемаларды чечүү

If you encounter issues while using your Thinkdiag Mini, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Түзмөк күйбөй жатат: Ensure the Thinkdiag Mini is securely plugged into the vehicle's OBDII port. Check the vehicle's ignition status; some vehicles require the ignition to be on for the OBDII port to be active.
• Bluetooth туташуу маселелери:
  • Смартфонуңузда Bluetooth иштетилгенин текшериңиз.
  • Restart the THINKDIAG app.
  • Телефонуңуздун Bluetooth жөндөөлөрүнөн түзмөктү унутуп, кайра жупташтырыңыз.
  • Ensure the Thinkdiag Mini is within Bluetooth range of your phone.
• Унаа менен байланыш жок:
  • Verify the device is correctly plugged into the OBDII port.
  • Confirm your vehicle is OBDII compliant (most vehicles from 1996 onwards in the US).
  • Унаанын от алдыруу системасы күйүк экенин текшериңиз.
  • Ensure the correct vehicle software has been downloaded and selected in the app.
• Fault Code Persists After Clearing:

  If you clear a fault code without addressing the underlying issue, the code will reappear. The scanner clears the code from the vehicle's memory, but it cannot fix mechanical or electrical problems. It is crucial to repair the car first based on the diagnostic information, and then clear the fault code.

• App Freezing or Crashing:
  • Колдонмону жаап, өчүрүп күйгүзүңүз.
  • Смартфонуңуздун операциялык системасы жаңыртылганын текшериңиз.
  • Clear the app's cache (Android) or reinstall the app.
