Running software
When you run ABRITES Diagnostics for OPEL/Vauxhall it will try to detect automatically the
appropriate hardware interface and will connect with it. If the connection failed a message box with
the explanation of the problem will appear.
By default, when ABRITES Diagnostics for OPEL/Vauxhall is started in the main list are
displayed all available electronic control units. You can reduce the number of displayed units by
specifying the vehicle context. To change the vehicle context select a desired model.
There are three groups of device units which are not part of any specific vehicle. As you can
see from the next picture, these are: All Units, Scan Result and Filtered.
• The group "All Units" as you can guess from its name will display you the list of all units
which are recognizable by the software.
• "Scan Result" will show you the list of the last scanned units. Refer to the Scanning section.
• The group "Filtered" contain a list of units which correspond to a specific filter pattern. A
new filter pattern can be set using the filter button.
Device Scanning
Device scanning function is helpful when you want to perform a quick DTC check of all
available device units in a vehicle. When you click on the "Scan for Units" button on the “Vehicle
Selection” screen, a progress window will appear. The behavior of the scanning can be changed by
the "Device Scanning" option.
Diagnostic
Double clicking on a electronic control unit from the list in the main application window will
initiate a diagnostic connection with the selected device and will open a diagnostic window. When
the diagnostic session with the unit is established successfully, the identification of the device will
be displayed.
Identification
Data Display
The Data Display button will open a new window, which will show you in real-time the
measured values of the unit.
Custom Request
Custom Request is an advanced diagnostic function allowing to send a diagnostic message
to an electronic control unit. In the request field you have to enter the data of the diagnostic
message. The software will pack the data using an appropriate transport protocol before
transmitting the query to the device.
Custom Query
Custom Query is a function, which allow you to execute a previously defined diagnostic
services using custom parameters.
Read Memory By Address is a part of Custom Query, which allow you to execute the
diagnostic service $23 of devices operating under CAN or KWP2000. The parameters which you
can set are the start address, block size and total size. The meaning of these parameters is: Read
memory with size equal to 'total size' beginning from 'start adress' on blocks with 'block size'.
By default the numbers entered as parameters are interpreted as decimals. If you want to
enter a hexadecimal number you should add a suffix 'h' to the number or a prefix '0x'.
NOTE: Most of the devices require a security access before allowing a memory access.
Memory scanning
In general only specific parts from the memory space are accessible. If you are performing
a diagnostic of an unknown device and don't know what its memory map is, you can use the Scan
Memory Space function. This function will discover all accessible memory ranges of the device.
Immobilizer
• Enter Security Code
For the immobilizer-related operations a security code is required and because of that, they
will remain inactive until a valid security code is entered. If the immobilizer is in reset state and the
security code is not programmed, it will accept any code. Please be sure in case of installing of
a new immobilizer, to enter the security code of the vehicle in which it will be installed.
Available immobilizer functions may differ depending on the immobilizer type. Once you enter a
valid security code they will become active.
• Reset immobilizer / Reset Security Code
This function will set back the immobilizer ECU to its factory default state. Prior to replace,
you have to reset the immobilizer back to its factory default state. In this way, you can install it into
another car. This will also erase all transponder keys. Please note, that after using this function,
you won't be able to start the engine.
• Reset engine
This function will set back the Engine Control Module to its factory default state. Prior to
replace, you have to reset it back to its factory default state. In this way, you can install it into
another car. You can verify the state of the engine ECU immobilizer in the measuring blocks
information. NOTE: If this function is not available in the immobilizer diagnostic, the function should
be available in the engine diagnostic.
• Program immobilizer functions / Program Security Code
When you replace an immobilizer or an engine control module you should use this function
to program a security code in the replaced components. NOTE: It will use the security code that
you has been already enter to enable the immobilizer functions.
• Program immobilizer output
When you install an immobilizer in a car that is equipped with an Anti Theft Warning System
(Alarm), you should program also and the immobilizer output.
Special Functions
ABRITES Diagnostics for OPEL/Vauxhall provide some unique diagnostic functions, which
are specific only to our product or they are not supported by the other similar diagnostic tools.
These functions are separated in the Special Functions list.
Security code is required for any immobilizer-related operation. In general it can be found in
the Car Pass or can be obtained from your local Opel dealer. Read Security Code function is an
instrument for extracting the security code from the car and thereby eliminate the need from
contacting the dealer. To read the security code you have to select make, model and the
electronic control unit from which the security code should be extracted. The list of the units
depend on the vehicle model and is updated whit every new software version.

Dump Tool
Dump Tool is an instrument for editing the content of the EEPROM files of specific
electronic control units. You have to select a unit and load a dump file. Then when you click on the
"Parameters..." button you will see a pop-up window with all available parameters related to the
chosen unit. Typical parameters are odometer, security code and VIN. For the airbag units the
option clear crash data is available. You can modify them by clicking on the parameter value. When
complete with modifications click on the OK button. The dump data will be updated accordingly. All
necessary check sums will be regenerated.
Note that the dump files are loaded in a hexadecimal editor, which can be used by advanced users
as a tool for manual editing of the EEPROM content.
