1. INTRODUCTION The NexDiag ND606 for Mercedes-Benz is a professional and powerful vehicle fault diagnosis tool for car fans, small garages, repair workshop and mechanics by delivering OE-level diagnosis on all the electronic systems. It supports most of all Mercedes-Benz vehicles (Except SMART, SPRINTER, VITO / VIANO and VANEO / VARIO) from 2000 up to now with standard OBD 16PIN DLC for both Diesel and Gasoline, covering Engine, Airbag, ABS, Gearbox and other ECUs.
Readiness Monitor status. 2.2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle. These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle.
2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC) The DLC (Data Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver side for most vehicles.
continuous monitors are constantly evaluating, they will be reported as Ready all of the time. If testing of a particular supported non-continuous monitor has not been completed, the monitor status will be reported as Not Complete or Not Ready. In order for the OBD monitor system to become ready, the vehicle should be driven under a variety of normal operating conditions.
