See how the Autel MaxiSYS Ultra S2 simplifies ADAS and ICC diagnostics on a 2018 Nissan Sentra with powerful communication fault detection and network topology tools.
In this Motor Age Tech Tip, Keith Perkins walks through a real-world case study using a 2018 Nissan Sentra that was recently repaired after a collision. The vehicle presents multiple warning lights and communication errors, offering the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the advanced diagnostic capabilities of the Autel MaxiSYS Ultra S2. Using the tool’s new Topology 3.0 interface, Perkins identifies a communication fault tied to the intelligent cruise control (ICC) system and ADAS radar sensor.
Throughout the video, Perkins highlights how the Autel MaxiSYS Ultra S2 simplifies communication fault troubleshooting by providing module locations, wiring diagrams, and circuit data in one seamless platform. He also showcases the oscilloscope, and breakout leads included in the kit, explaining how to check powers, grounds, and communication integrity directly at the radar sensor.
This hands-on walkthrough not only demonstrates the precision and efficiency of modern diagnostic tools but also underscores the importance of following proper testing procedures to verify module communication and power supply.
