The Aston Martin Diagnostic System is a new
generation diagnostic tool which fulfils a number of
functions in aiding the technician to quickly and
accurately locate faults. The heart of the system is
the Portable Diagnostic Unit, a lightweight powerful
computer/measurement system providing a step-
by-step user friendly interface for the technician.
PDU functions include:
Data Logger - The ability to monitor and record
control module signals even whilst the vehicle is
being driven.
On-Line Help-Containing detailed descriptions in
the operation ofthevehicleselectroniccomponents.
Vehicle Setup - The ability to setup various
adjustable parameters to their optimum settings.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes - The ability to extract
recorded fault information from the DB7's control
modules.
Each of these funaions is described in detail in the
PDU Users Guide.
WARNING: If the system is used to measure high
voltages, these voltages can appear on the pins of
other connectors in the system. Ensure that socket
covers are fitted on unused sockets. Ensure that all
connections are made prior to applying the high
voltage to the probes. Do not leave the equipment
unattended in this state. The maximum voltage
that may be applied between the test probes is 150
volts AC or DC.
