What is the difference between so many models of Autel MaxiSYS MS906?

 There are many products in the Autel MaxiSYS MS906 series, and how to distinguish them has become a problem. This article will introduce the differences between the various models of Autel MS906. In order to save readers' time, the conclusion is written in the front. Interested readers can continue to read the details below.

 

1. MS906 compared to MS906S: MS906 is a cable connection, MS906S is a Bluetooth connection.
2. MS906 Pro compared to MS906S: MS906 Pro has remote cloud function, and its hardware configuration is better than MS906S (bigger battery, higher camera pixels, better CPU and memory). It also has more functions than MS906S.
3. MS906 Pro-TS compared to MS906 Pro: MS906 Pro-TS has more TMPS function support. Other functions are basically the same.

 

Conclusion: There is not much difference between MS906 Pro and MS906 Pro-TS. From the model code, MS906 Pro-TS has more TPMS function.

Instead, there is a big difference between MS906S and MS906 Pro.

 

For feature support please see the picture

 

Since most of the functions of Autel MaxiSYS MS906 Pro and MS906 Pro-TS are the same (except the TPMS function), we will focus on MS906 Pro-TS:

Autel MaxiSYS MS906 Pro-TS upgraded from Autel MS906TS/ MS906/ MS906S/ MP808TS/ MK808TS, Autel MaxiSys MS906 Pro-TS is equivalent to MS906TS + TS601.

 

The highlight of Autel MaxiSYS MS906 Pro-TS is the TPMS function: With Complete TPMS modules, Autel MS906 PRO-TS integrated TPMS antenna module to perform comprehensive TPMS service: activate/ relearn 99% all-known OEM TPMS sensors, program MX-sensors, turn off TPMS light, retrieves the sensors' OEM part No. in seconds and provides with 3000+ built-in relearn procedures.

 

Compared with competitors, Autel MS906 Pro-TS allows users to automatically create 1-16 sensors to program the new MX-sensor at the same time.

 

Features available in both Autel MaxiSYS MS906 Pro and MS906 Pro-TS (but not MS906S):

Battery analysis capability.

Cloud-based Reports and Data Management.

Remote Expert (coming soon).

* With additional purchase of the MaxiBAS BT506 battery and electrical system tester.

With purchase of ADAS calibration frame system and software.

AK90 with VXSCAN adapter key programming for BMW EWS4

 This article will show you the process of BMW EWS4 Key Programming using AK90 Key Programmer and VXSCAN IC Adapter.

 

AK90 is mainly for regular keys and EWS3/4 systems older BMWs not for smart keys. Let’s see its capacity to EWS4.

 

Notice: disconnect battery before removing EWS module.

Step 1. Connection

EWS info. (Mask: 2L86D)

Connect the ribbon cable to VXSCAN Adapter. (Care J1 and J2 position, here is J1.)

Connect AK90, VXSCAN and the ribbon cable. (Do connect to the right EWS port, here is EWS4.)

Align the pins and install EWS circuit board on VXSCAN adapter.

Connect AK90 to PC via USB cable.

 

Step 2. Read EWS data

Run AK90 app, and it’ll beep once which means good connection.

Then select “2L86D[Cable]”.

There is no adapter on the diagram, so ignore it and go ahead.

Read and save EWS data. (to make a good connection, have to slight press the circuit board.)

 

Step 3. Write key

Click on “Write key”.

Select unused key position and transponder type. (If it’s an aftermarket key, select “PCF7930/35”; if it’s an original key, select “10030A[EML]”)

Here are “Key09” and “PCF7930/35”.

Put a new key into the key slot.

When it is done, it will beep once again.

Repeat the process to add the second new key.

 

Step 4. Verify key

Enter “EWS Analyze”, we can see the key positions we used are still new. (Key 8 & 9).

So, we need to write back new EWS data.

Tick “8” and “9”, and click on “Write Back To EWS”.

Tick “2L86D”. Must select the correct option.

Write data OK.

Enter “Test Key” to verify again.

All Done!

 

That’s the process of EWS4 AKL programming by AK90 Programmer and VXSCAN EWS Adapter.

Download the newest 2022 Vident iAuto702 Pro special function list to check the specific car models.

 

The step-by-step guide to reset battery (BRT):

1. Connect iAuto 702 pro to the OBDII port of the vehicle via the main cable

2.Enter Application main menu-> select BRT

Loading data…

3. Pay attention to the Battery reset instruction:

1).Use the car diagnostic device to reset the car battery monitoring unit to clear original fault information about insufficient battery electric quantity, and match the battery again and monitor battery based on current battery information.

2).Battery matching must be performed in the following cases:

• Main battery is replaced. Battery matching must be performed to clear original electric quantity insufficiency information and prevent the related control module from detecting false information. If the related control module detects false information, it will invalidate some electric auxiliary functions, such as automatic start&stop function, sunroof without one-key trigger function, power window without automatic function.
• Battery monitoring sensor. Battery matching is performed to re-match the control module and motoring sensor to detect battery electric quantity use information more accurately, which can avoid the instrument panel displaying false information.

4. Select car make

5. Automatic Scan (recommended) or Manual Select

6. Switch on the ignition

7. Reading the car info…

8. A message will appear on the screen “This routine will reset stored internal battery monitoring data. This is required when a battery is replaced. Press OK to confirm the selection or Cancel to abort”.

Just click OK to continue

9. Set the ignition switch to on (position 2)

10. Function execution succeeded

11. Set the ignition switch to off (position 0)

Done!

Autel IM608 makes BMW electric windows work again

 My BMW/MiniFRM module doesn't respond, and now the electric windows don't work. It's not like previous cars could use hand-operated switches. So I decided to read the EEPROM and rewrite the corrupted data.

 

Tools used: Autel MaxiIM IM608

 

FRM Info

Chip: MC9S12XEQ384

Mask: 3M25J

 

Path

On Autel IM608, go to

Programmer>>Chip (EEPROM,MCU,ECU)>>Chip read & write>>Other>>BMW>>E - SERIES>FRM>XEQ384>RW

Step 1. Read D-FLASH, EEPROM, P-FLASH

Check "Schematic diagram".

Connect APA109, IM608, XP400Pro and FRM circuit board by diagrams.

Go to “Set” to check if we’ve got 5 voltage, and turn on read/write/earse validation.

Then try to “Read” D-FLASH.

Empty, that’s why it is done.

Read Partition. Also empty.

EEPROM is also empty.

So we just read and save P-FLASH as a backup.

Usually this part is intact.

Step 2. Write partition

Go to D-FLASH and select “Write partition”. (So we can get a new EEPROM to write data in.)

Set EEPROM as 16, which will give you four kilobytes of memory on EEPROM.

Set D-FLASH as 0.

Step 3. Write EEPROM back

Then I find an EEPROM file with the same part number (3456395) on Google.

Of course this EEPROM belongs to a a different car, VIN…but it allows FRM to boot.

Transfer the data file to IM608 Key Programmer.

Go to “EEE” (EEPROM), and select “Write”.

Load the EEPROM file we just found.

Write successfully.

Go back to read D-FLASH and EEPROM.

FLASH is also empty, but we have the data in EEPROM.

Step 4 . Check FRM on car

Restore FRM back, and see if it boots well.

Use an Autel Diagnostic Tool to check windows quickly.

The wrong chassis means our FRM has communications.

Before we have a DTC about FRM error.

Diagnosis>>Control unit>>Body>>FRM2 (Footwell Module 2)>>Read codes

Now our FRM comes back.

And then the rest work is to program the module the car because it comes from a different car.

Notice: IM608 doesn’t support BMW X1 FRM program.

Autel Maxicom MK808: Erase Check Engine on Nissan

 The check engine warning light displays on my Nissan liberty m12, and I’d like to erase it by using the Autel Maxicom MK808.

Connect MK808 to the OBD port of the vehicle via the main cable

Then select Diagnostics>> Nissan>> Manual selection>> Liberty>> M12>> All

MK808 reads out the vehicle information successfully:

Area: Japan

Country: Japan

Vehicle name: Liberty

Type detailed: M12

Model year: all

Then select Diagnosis>> Auto scan

It takes approx 1 min to scan all systems- Engine, transmission, Air bag, ABS

Scan out the faults (sorry for the blurry image)

Read codes

Erase codes

Follow the prompt to turn on the Ignition switch and turn off engine

Clear all fault codes successfully

Read codes again

Now there is no any fault.

Finally, start the car. The check engine light disappears.

Good job!
