Honda HDS HIM Review: Works Good

My Honda HDS clone setup lately so I thought I would do a bit of a review. HDS is a general term for Honda’s Diagnostic System. HIM is the specific tool (Honda Interface Module). Honda has had several tools, the HIM is two or three generations old, but the newer ones are not cloned yet (GNA600 & MVCI).
So if you don’t know there are all kinds of clones of Honda’s HDS HIM diagnostic system out there on the internets. I made a leap of faith and picked one up on DHgate.com about two years ago to reprogram my TPMS sensors (I hate you Honda for this TPMS crap system). I was hesitant because it did not state that it supported my 2011 Fit. The cracked HDS software version that came with it did not cover my car, but I was able to find a newer version (V2.024.05) on the internet that worked. I have successfully used the TPMS features, CKP relearn, idle relearn, ECU reset, and cleared DTS faults. I belive this thing can data log, reprogram gauge clusters, and reprogram the immobilizer for new keys, but have not tried these things yet.

Here is a pic of mine if it helps.

It came with various connectors for self-verification testing too.

So the HDS only has a RS232 DB9 serial port (no usb),and most laptops don’t have them anymore. The adaptor will plug into your laptops usb and replicate a RS232 port. You will probably need a RS232 to USB adaptor too. I have always had good luck with FTDI adapters. Future Technology Devices Intl – UC232R-10 The HDS will only connect to com port 1. So you may have to change your com port assigned number when you use a usb adapter. I have only used the HDS on a windows XP laptop so I cannot confirm this works on newer Windows.

Here is another possible option I have not tried yet, but would love to because it is much cheaper and uses USB! Looks like it uses the same HDS software!
And if you are going to do TPMS you might want to look at triggering tools, if not you have to deflate and re-inflate a wheel to trigger the sensor. Our TPMS sensors only only transmit when they are spinning over ~26MPH, detect a rapid pressure change, or are triggered with a 125Mhz signal. I bought the trigger tool. It’s Foxwell made: http://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/foxwell-nt1001-tpms-trigger-tool.html

Overall this is a very powerful tool that lets you do about everything the dealer can!
The factory service manual pretty much explains how to use the HDS in all of Honda’s trouble shooting procedures. All of the things I have used have matched up, like TPMS and CKP relearn.

This is how i used Honda HDS HIM to Memorize Honda Civic2008 TPMS sensor ID

NOTE:  make the vehicle sit for at least 5 munities to allow the tire
pressure sensors to switch to sleep mode. The vehicle with the new
tire sensor must be at least 10 ft (3m) away from other vehicles
that have sensors.

Step1: Connect the Honda diagnostic system with vehicle via OBD
port on the driver’s side under the dashboard.
Step2: Turn ignition ON.
Step3: Make sure Honda HIM HDS Diagnostic Toolis well communicated
with TPMS control module.
Step4: Enter vehicle information in HDS program.
Honda-HDS-HIM-Review-Civic-2008 (1)
Step5: Select “Honda Systems” from Mode selection menu
Honda-HDS-HIM-Review-Civic-2008 (2)
Step6: Select“TPMS” control module
Honda-HDS-HIM-Review-Civic-2008 (3
Step7: Select “Sensor ID Learning” from the Mode menu
Honda-HDS-HIM-Review-Civic-2008 (4
Step8: The Honda HDS software will display Tire pressure sensor
ID, follow the screen prompt to turn on the TPMS Trigger Tool.
Honda-HDS-HIM-Review-Civic-2008 (5
Step9: Hold the TPMS tool (A) near the valve stem of one wheel, and
memorize the tire pressure sensor ID by following the screen prompts
on the HDS. (If you turn the ignition OFF before memorizing all
four sensor IDs, the memorizing sensor ID will be canceled.)
Step10: Write down the 4 tire pressure sensor IDs.
Step11: Exit the Honda HDS software and disconnect Honda HIM tool.
Job’s done!


Here are a few more things it claims to do:

Honda functions include:
  • DTC reading and clearing
  • Snapshot function (capture data relative to a trigger event)
  • Vehicle data display (value, line graph, or bar graph formats)
  • DLC locator diagrams
  • Data list display (real-time display of ECU parameters)
  • Onboard tutorial
  • Generic scan tool runs basic tests on non-Honda/Acura vehicles (HDS Tablet and Pocket Tester only)
  • Control module update functions (HDS Tablet and Pocket Tester only)

VAG parts catalogue: Elsawin vs ETKA vs ETOS

Here has three electronic catalogues for VAG cars:ETKA, ETOS, and ElsaWin . but do these all do the same thing?Or how are they different from one another? Discuss

What is ETKA:
ETKA is the official electronic parts catalogue (EPC) for Volkswagen Group motor vehicles. Launched in 1989, ETKA superseded the older parts books and microfilm-based catalogues. ETKA is an abbreviation from the German: Elektronischer Teilekatalog.

What is Elsawin:
ELSAWIN is the Service & Repair Workshop software actually used by the Audi main dealers and factory technicians around the world, it covers cars (with varying amount of informations) from 1947 till today. It provides Servicing Guides, Workshop – Repair Manuals, Electric Schemes – Wiring Diagrams, Body Works.

What is Etos:
ETOS, the spare parts order system for Volkswagen, SEAT, Skoda, Audi and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles OEM parts, allows you to work more rapidly and efficiently.

Elsawin vs ETKA vs Etos:

Elsa is a workshop manual
Etka is a parts catalog
Etos is a parts ordering system

ETKA – Parts catalog for internal VAG use. Separate versions for Audi/VW, Skoda and Seat. Very awkward user interface.
ETOS – Parts catalog for VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat. Much more user-friendly interface.
ELSA – Program for repairs etc. For internal VAG use only.

ETKA will help you to determine a part number by part location on assembly drawing.
ELSA will help you with electrical diagrams and repair operations description.

Ekta is the software that dealers use to find spare parts (VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda), via a search by model etc. … and allows the editing of good material by vehicles or customers (there I am on of me, I have it on my pc and seen turn in conces).
Elsawin is an electronic technical magazine somehow it seems to me. So not at all the same vocation.
Etka is the catalog of spare parts (exploded views, price)
Elsawin is the repair manual (as a technical IT review)

The spare parts catalogue is “ETKA”
ELSAWIN the the factory workshop manuals.

Elsawin is available to the public…at a price. i think
ETKA is dealer only. Any copies you see advertised on the internet are pirate copies.

ETKA is more than a catalog. What I have found most usefull is the parts/assembly diagrams. I am no mechanic, but I play one in my garage…  Those diagrams, combined with the part numbers/ names have really helped me have a better understanding of how things work. Its also a huge help in tracking down replacement parts (which is what it is meant to do)

Elsa covers the whole range of cars, VW, Audi and Seat, from 1986 to 2005 (if its a new copy, some of the older stuff gets deleted as the cd gets newer) it has all the info that the dealer workshop gets, it’s all designed around the dealer and their tools. It’s particularly good for shops like mine where we do all the VW Audi cars. It’s 8 gigs and comes on 4 dvds

All are in my opinion complementary … .

Xtool EZ500 Review: access all functions well& fast

I’ve only had Xtool EZ500 pad for a few days, and will update my review as I get more familiar with mine, but so far I’m very impressed.

The unit appears to be built very well and has a solid, professional feel to it. Activating / registering it online was simple and only took a few minutes.

The carrying case is well designed and well built, and carries the scanner and all the adapters, cables, charger, etc. very well (though for convenience I’ll probably get a small case just large enough for the scanner / cable / OBD2 adapter / charger since that’s what I’ll be using 90% of the time.)

Last weekend, i had it on Ford Mondeo 2011. Read and clear fault codes. Work fast.

Look here: i attached photos here
xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (1)
Open “USAFORD V10.11” software and choose “Automatic selection”.
xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (2)
It reads vehicle information including car model, car year, capacity, engine type and VIN number
xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (3)
Click on “DIAG” then choose “Auto Scan” function.
xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (4) xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (5)
Now XTOOL EZ500 is scanningfull systems and modules to test the car.
xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (6)
Here, there are DTC codes in ACM, BCM and PCM modules.
I read and clear DTC fault codes.
xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (7) xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (8) xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (9)
Click “Read Codes” then “Retrieve CMDTCs”
XTOOL EZ500 pad read Ford Mondeo Powertrain Control Module DTC codes.
xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (10) xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (11) xtool-ez500-ford-mondeo-2011 (12)
Satisfied!

Update:
Today, I have EZ500 on a 2008 Jeep Wrangler and 2001 Ford Sport Trac

2008 Jeep Wrangler: read PIN code & program keys and appears to be accessing all other modules on that vehicle.
2001 Ford Sport Trac: access all functions well.
I test it and it can record and playback live data.
It is really good and when it can diagnosis reports in PDF file.

Also, on both of these vehicles it appeared to work fast.

If it proves to be durable, I think it is well worth the price
