By executing bi-directional operations, technicians can rapidly verify the operational status of specific systems, components, or subsystems. It can activate vehicle-specific elements such as relays, fuel injectors, ignition coils, solenoid valves, and actuators—cutting diagnosis time to under 10 minutes for many faults, whether in control units or physical systems.

Examples of Active Tests:

• Turning lights on/off
• Sounding the horn
• Controlling oil pressure
• Adjusting vehicle ride height
• Operating inlet and outlet valves
• Testing wheel speed sensors
• Activating the fuel pump
• Cycling the A/C clutch
• Calibrating dynamic camera aiming
• Performing brake vacuum pump tests

Note: Function availability depends on the vehicle make and model, with numerous actuation tests supported.

2. Advanced ECU Coding & Offline/Online Coding

The X431 PRO STAR supports advanced ECU coding across a wide spectrum of vehicle models—both legacy and current—without extra fees. This capability allows matching, learning, or coding of newly replaced ECUs, updating ECU software, and enabling or disabling hidden features (e.g., Seat belt chime, daytime running lights). It also facilitates component matching post-repair and reprograms adaptive data to enhance efficiency and personalization—addressing diverse customer demands and boosting technician productivity.
