Hello,

What equipment can be used to perform diagnostics on ZhiDou ?

Thanks in advanced !

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 have a problem with the airbag, the light on the dashboard does not go out after turning on the ignition.

Thanks in advanced !

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.

Hi, in the manual say USBCAN and FCAR, but in dealer in Colombia used Autel.

Any buy USBCAN?, this example is good?

I bought this one. I have verified that it works flawlessly. but the cable is just the beginning, you also need a program for it
