4. Opstelling en aanvanklike verbinding
4.1 Connecting the Device to Your Vehicle
The MUCAR CS90 connects to your vehicle via the OBDII port, also known as the Data Link Connector (DLC). This is a standard 16-pin port where diagnostic tools interface with the vehicle's onboard computer.
- Locating the DLC: In most vehicles, the DLC is typically found within 12 inches (approximately 30 cm) of the center of the dashboard, usually under or around the driver's side.
- Alternatiewe liggings: If the connector is not under the dashboard, a label might indicate its location. In some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC may be located behind the ashtray, which might need to be removed for access.
- Leiding: If you cannot locate the DLC, refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific guidance.

- Mode 6: System Monitoring: Retrieves results of on-board diagnostic monitoring tests for specific components/systems.
- Mode 7: Read Pending DTCs: Displays diagnostic trouble codes detected during the current or last driving cycle that are not yet confirmed.
- Mode 8: Control Operation of On-Board System: Allows control of on-board system components or tests.
- Mode 9: Read Vehicle Information: Retrieves vehicle information such as VIN, Calibration ID (CALID), and Calibration Verification Number (CVN).
- Mode 10: Request Emissions-Related Diagnostic Trouble Codes with Permanent Status: Requests emissions-related DTCs with permanent status after a clear/reset of emission-related diagnostic information.

After you follow this programming method of the TCU / ECU drive the car.
- AFS Hoofstukamp Herstel: 'AFS' means Adaptive Front lighting System (at night with the Bi-Xenon headlights) it swivels either side, pressing that button means they stay pointing straight ahead and don't turn when you turn the steering wheel.
- Inspuiterkodering: Leaking injectors and some dead injectors can be missed even when an injector is disabled. Other problems with the ignition system and mechanical components also may not show an rpm loss when an injector is turned off.
- Aanpassing van die gasklep: The throttle body is a tube containing a pivoting flat valve (butterfly) that is used to control the amount of air entering an engine. In an electronically fuel injected car, a throttle position sensor and air flow sensor communicate with the computer, which supplies the corresponding amount of fuel needed at the injectors. It must need re-learning throttle sensor position after clearing or repair.
- Rat Leer: The scan tool monitors certain camshaft position sensors signals to determine if all conditions are met to continue with the procedure for Engine running.
- EGR-herstel: Reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas and improve fuel economy at partial load.
- A/F-terugstelling: Hierdie funksie word toegepas om lug/brandstofverhoudingparameters in te stel of te leer.

When the gearbox is disassembled or repaired (after some of the car battery is powered off), it will lead to shift delay or impact problem. In this case, this function needs to be done so that the gearbox can automatically compensate according to the driving conditions so as to achieve more comfortable and better shift.
- Taalverandering: Hierdie funksie word gebruik om die stelseltaal van die voertuig se sentrale beheerpaneel te verander.
- Nox-sensorherstel: Nox sensor is a sensor used to detect the content of nitrogen oxides (Nox) in engine exhaust. If the Nox fault is re-initialized and the Nox catalytic converter is replaced, it is necessary to reset the catalytic converter learned value stored in the engine Ecu.
- ODO-terugstelling: a) ODO reset is to copy, write, or rewrite the value of kilometers in the chip of odometer by using a car diagnostic computer and data cable, so that the odometer shows the actual mileage. b) Usually when the mileage is not correct due to the damaged vehicle speed sensor or odometer failure, it is necessary to do ODO reset after maintenance.
- Stop/Begin Herstel: Hierdie funksie word gebruik om die outomatiese begin-stop-funksie oop of toe te maak deur die versteekte funksie in ECU te stel (mits die voertuig 'n versteekte funksie het en deur hardeware ondersteun word).
