OE-Level Full-System Diagnostics
The MaxiCOM Ultra Lite communicates with available electronic systems throughout the vehicle, allowing technicians to carry out a complete health check rather than relying on generic OBD fault codes alone.
Depending on the vehicle, supported systems may include:
- Engine control module
- Automatic and manual transmission
- ABS and electronic stability control
- Airbag and restraint systems
- Body control modules
- Electronic power steering
- Climate control
- Instrument cluster
- Parking assistance
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane-assistance systems
- Central electronics
- Door, seat and comfort modules
- Battery and energy-management systems
- High-voltage and hybrid-related control units
- Tyre-pressure monitoring systems
Core Diagnostic Functions
- Automatic vehicle identification on supported vehicles
- Automatic system scan
- Read manufacturer-specific and generic fault codes
- Clear fault codes after repair
- View ECU information
- Read freeze-frame data
- Display live data
- Graph and compare data parameters
- Record diagnostic data
- Merge selected live-data streams
- Generate vehicle diagnostic reports
Topology Mapping 2.0
On supported vehicles, the MaxiCOM Ultra Lite displays the vehicle’s control-module network as a visual topology map.
Each available module is shown within the network structure, making it easier to see which systems are communicating normally, which modules contain fault codes and where a communication interruption may be located.
What Topology Mapping Helps You Do
- View the vehicle network on one screen
- Identify modules containing fault codes
- Recognise offline or non-communicating modules
- Open a control module directly from the topology map
- Understand relationships between connected systems
- Locate potential communication problems faster
- Reduce time spent moving between separate system menus
Bi-Directional Control and Active Tests
Command Vehicle Components Directly
Reading a fault code tells you what the control unit has detected. An active test helps you verify how the system responds.
The MaxiCOM Ultra Lite can send commands to supported control modules and request specific actuators or components to operate. This allows technicians to compare the commanded action with the actual response of the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle, available tests may include:
- Activate the cooling fan
- Operate the fuel pump
- Switch lights on and off
- Lock and unlock doors
- Operate electric windows
- Activate the horn
- Cycle air-conditioning components
- Command EGR or throttle operation
- Activate valves and solenoids
- Test injectors
- Operate seat motors
- Test mirrors
- Activate pumps and relays
- Carry out cylinder cut-out tests
- Test parking and camera-related components
Guided Procedures for Supported Volkswagen Group Vehicles
Complex repair and adaptation procedures may require channel numbers, security access codes or a specific sequence of steps.
For supported Volkswagen Group vehicles, the MaxiCOM Ultra Lite can provide guided functions that lead the technician through the required process on the tablet.
Guided procedures may help with:
- Basic settings
- Adaptations
- Component replacement
- Calibration procedures
- Service operations
- System initialisation
- Coding-related tasks
- Post-repair configuration
Follow the Procedure Step by Step
Instead of searching manually through individual channels, the technician can follow on-screen instructions and complete the procedure in the correct order.
Guided-function coverage varies across Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, Bentley and other supported VAG vehicles. Not every procedure is available for every model.
Advanced ECU Coding and Adaptation Functions
Modern vehicles often require electronic configuration after a component or control module has been replaced.
The MaxiCOM Ultra Lite supports advanced coding, adaptation and configuration functions for selected vehicles, allowing the new component to communicate correctly with the vehicle and operate according to the installed equipment.
Typical Coding and Adaptation Applications
- Variant coding
- Module configuration
- Replacement-module matching
- Adaptation-value reset
- Component initialisation
- Personalisation settings
- Backup and restoration of coding data
- Configuration after control-unit replacement
- Calibration after component replacement
- Activation or deactivation of supported vehicle options
- Transfer of supported configuration data
- Teach-in and relearn procedures
Online and Offline Coding
The available coding method depends on the vehicle manufacturer. The Ultra Lite may provide online or offline coding functions for supported vehicles from brands such as:
- BMW
- Mercedes-Benz
- Volkswagen
- Audi
- Škoda
- SEAT
- Porsche
- Ford
- Opel and Vauxhall
- Jaguar
- Land Rover
- Nissan
- Hyundai

* Supported functions depend on the control unit, software version, vehicle configuration and permissions provided by the manufacturer. Hidden-function activation is not available for every vehicle or every feature.
Supported ECU Programming with the MaxiFlash VCI
The included MaxiFlash VCI provides vehicle communication and J2534 Pass-Thru capability for supported programming applications.
The Autel diagnostic platform supports ECU programming functions for selected BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Available procedures may include software installation, module replacement and programming-related configuration, depending on the vehicle and control unit.
BMW and Mercedes-Benz Programming
For supported models, available functions may include:
- Replacement-module programming
- ECU software installation
- Programming after control-unit replacement
- Coding following programming
- Backup or restoration of supported data
- Automatic calculation of required programming files
- Programming-history records
- Configuration of newly installed modules
Programming coverage is not universal and must be checked for the specific vehicle.
J2534 Pass-Thru Capability
The MaxiFlash VCI may also be used as a J2534 Pass-Thru interface with compatible manufacturer software where supported.
This can allow an appropriately trained technician to work with OEM applications for tasks such as:
- ECU software updates
- Module programming
- Manufacturer-specific diagnostics
- Software installation following module replacement
