    ments and operating procedures.
    Some important points:
    Block all wheels of the vehicle when testing. Be cautious when working around electricity.

    • Do not ignore the risk of shock from vehicle and building-level voltages.
    • Do not smoke, or allow sparks/flame near any part of the vehicle fuel system or batteries.
    • Always work in an adequately ventilated area, vehicle exhaust fumes should be directed towards the
      exit of the shop.

    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 mod-
    ules. Simultaneously with this, the Abrites Mobile Diagnostics Interface is also programmed to portray
    this live data graphically.
    Abrites Mobile Diagnostics Interface looks like this:


    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.


    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 displayed – trouble codes, actuators, live values, as well as the coding function with all available coding options in the selected module:




    The four additional functions that could be used are the following:


    • “Actuators” (Therefore actuate listed module components of the se- lected 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.


    For example, let’s say that the selected module is the Digital diesel elec- tronics (DDE). This module should be pressed.
    Following this step, this page will appear



    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 ad- ditionally 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.


    Let’s say that the Digital diesel electronics (DDE) is going to be used Redirection to this given page is going to follow once again.



    Following this the “Live Values” button on the display should be pressed.



    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 op- tions in the module selected be seen and activated/disabled.


    Let’s say that the Car access system (CAS) is going to be used Redirection to this given page is going to follow once again.



    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.



    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.
