Active Test

The Autel Scanner DS808 Test function is used to access vehicle-

specific subsystem and component tests. Available tests

vary depending on the manufacturer, year, and model, and

only the available tests display in the menu.

During an active test, the tester outputs commands to

the ECU in order to drive the actuators. This test

determines the integrity of the system or parts by

reading the engine ECU data, or by monitoring the

operation of the actuators, such as switching a

solenoid, relay, or switch between two operating states.

Selecting Active Test opens a menu of test options that

varies by make and model. Selecting a menu option

activates the test. Follow on-screen instructions while

performing tests. The content and pattern of the on-

screen information vary according to the type of test

being performed. Some toggle and variable control tests

display Active Test Controls at the top of the screen

with data stream information below, or vice versa.

The functional buttons at the lower right corner of the

Active Test screen manipulate the test signals. The

operational instructions are displayed on the main

instructions and make appropriate selections to complete

the tests. Each time when an operation is successfully

executed, message such as “Command Finished”,

“Activation Successful”, or something similar

displays.

Tap the ESC functional button to exit the test when

finished.

Special Functions
