Safety and Regulations

As the world’s modern society moves forward, it is inevitable to try and look for more means to combine efficiency with comfort and practicality. It is because we at Abrites understand the problematics and necessities of this “fast-paced” reality, that we did our best to develop our new product in a way where results could be seen in the matter of seconds, requiring only a smart-phone or a tablet.

The Abrites Mobile Diagnostics Interface is a convenient, reliable and efficient hand-held device used together with Android or iOS based mobile devices, in order to provide you with the opportunity to run swift mobile diagnostics of your vehicle, so you can distinguish any fault codes in specific modules.

Another great feature that the Abrites MODI provides is that the device allows easy actuation of various components of the selected vehicle, as well as making queries concerning live data from different modules. Simultaneously with this, the Abrites Mobile Diagnostics Interface is also programmed to portray this live data graphically.

Abrites Mobile Diagnostics Interface looks like this:

1. Installation

Once the MODI is received, you can download the Abrites MODI software, as well. It looks like this in the Google Play Store®, Apple App Store®, or App Gallery®:

After installing the Abrites MODI application software, it will appear in the list of installed applications of either the Android, iOS, or HarmonyOS based mobile device.

2. Setting your MODI Interface up

To begin working with the Mobile Diagnostics Interface, it will be necessary to first enable Bluetooth on the given Android, IOS, or HarmonyOS based mobile device. This can be done by going to the settings menu, then bluetooth, then enable. Once the bluetooth is enabled the MODI application can be opened and set up.

Once the software is opened , the following two options will be provided:

• The first one is to connect to the MODI device (therefore a scanning process is automatically launched by the application, in order for your device to be discovered). This could be done by simply pressing the “Connect” button which will be displayed on the provided device. Keep in mind that in order for the device to be discovered by the application it needs to be supplied with power*. In order to supply your MODI device with power, you will need to insert it in the vehicle’s OBD II port. Following the scanning process, a list device window will appear, where the personal MODI of the user should be selected.

• The second option that will be provided is to run a DEMO process. The DEMO process does not require the MODI device to be inserted in the vehicles OBDII port.

Once the MODI is connected to a power supply and the Bluetooth of the device used is ON, the MODI device which is going to be used could be selected. The Mobile Diagnostics Interface can now be used.

The next step is to select the brand which is going to be worked with, after that the MODI will start an automatic vehicle identification.

If you press and hold on a selected logo an additional window is going to appear, which will enable you to buy the full functions for the given brand

Once the vehicle is identified, the following screen with advanced diagnostic and coding options will be displayed:

From this point on, the MODI device is going to communicate via the bluetooth connection made with the mobile device.

After the Advanced Diagnostics option is selected, the Mobile Diagnostics Interface is going to run a diagnostic on the vehicle, providing information concerning the number of fault codes in the system. Additionally, the tool can also display information concerning the status of the modules in the vehicle. From there on, in order for the processed fault codes to be cleared, the “Clear all” button should be pressed. This button should be essentially found on the bottom of the mobile device display.

When a module is selected, the additional diagnostic functions will be dispalyed – trouble codes, actuators, live values, as well as the coding function with all available coding options in the selected module:

For example, let’s say that the selected module is the Digital diesel electronics (DDE). This module should be pressed.

Following this step, this page will appear

• “Actuators” (Therefore actuate listed module components of the selected vehicle).

*In order for this to be done, a given module from the ones that are listed after the scanning process is done should be selected.

After that the “Actuators” button on the display should be pressed and the opportunity to select from the available actuators test should be provided.

• “Live Values” / The device will provide the opportunity to make quarries concerning live data of different modules, as well as to additionally portray this information graphically

*In order for this to be done,ca module from the ones listed after the scanning process has been finished should be selected.

Now the option to choose from the available parameters should follow.

In order to select a specific system, or systems, it will be necessary to press and it will be selected (the color of the selected system, or systems, will turn blue).

Therefore there is the provided option to choose “Query” and receive the live engine speed and engine oil temperature, together with additional data depending on the module that has been selected. Additionally if the “Graphics” button is pressed all of the live data is going to be illustrated on a graph.

• “Trouble Codes” / This is an option which allows for the specific fault codes located in the module selected earlier to be seen.

*In order to do this, the “Trouble Codes” button on the display should be pressed. Following this the option of clearing the trouble codes in the selected module should be available, as well as to specifically see in which components are the given faults located.

• “Coding” is an option which allows for the specific coding options in the module selected be seen and activated/disabled.

After that the “Coding” button on the display should be pressed and the opportunity to select from the available “fast coding” options should be provided.

MODI connection issues troubleshooting guide:

1. Plug the MODI device into the car or a power supply.

2. Make sure you are connected to the Internet

3. Make sure the bluetooth is NOT paired to a phone. ( Phone settings > Bluetooth )

4. Make sure the MODI application has access to all required permissions. (including location services — We use only bluetooth but according to regulations bluetooth usage is considered a location usage)

5. The blue indicator lamps should blink slowly ( E.g. one blink in a second ) - If the blue lamp is always on - that means it’s already connected to a phone and no other connection is possible at that time.

6. Close the application on all nearby phones. (Make sure MODI device blinks, as described in step 4)

• If your MODI device blue indicator lamp does not blink slowly, or at all, it is possible that the vehicle’s ignition is not on, therefore the MODI device has no power supply. Make sure you turn ignition ON.

• In case any difficulty occurs while using the application or the MODI device and troubleshooting for this specific issue is not suggested in the manual, make sure to contact support@abrites.com.
