Hi Tomas,

Normally, diagnostics for these cars are done with EV-05 software.
Motor controller and BMS data can be read directly via a CAN bus reader; the workshop manual lists the CAN addresses for interpretation.

I haven’t worked with the ABS module yet, so I can’t confirm it from experience.
According to FCAR, the F8S diagnostic tool claims support for ZhiDou D2 vehicles. There’s a feature list here:

That said, I haven’t tested it myself and don’t currently have the tool, so I can’t say how complete or reliable the ABS coverage is in practice.


You can check the wiring resistance to the airbag modules with a multimeter, but only with the battery disconnected and after allowing sufficient time for the system capacitors to discharge.

Do not measure resistance directly across an airbag igniter/squib, as this can trigger deployment. Only test the wiring up to the connectors, following the manufacturer’s safety procedures.
