Using advanced car diagnostics equipment isn’t always a straight line forward, and the Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro is no exception. Despite this, it’s an incredible tool worth discussing in-depth, especially after encountering and overcoming a small hiccup not covered by the manufacturer’s documentation.

Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro

The Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro is a fantastic car programmer, offering an exceptional deal with six months of unlimited tokens. Despite its robust capabilities, we encountered a minor issue during our recent usage that momentarily stalled our operations. When unplugged, the device wouldn’t power on—a concern not initially covered in documentation or anywhere online. Here’s how we identified and resolved this issue, skipping the guesswork and enjoying the long-term benefits of this tool in our auto repair arsenal.

Smart Pro Minor Battery Problem

After experiencing a glitch post power-off, it was clear this wasn’t your typical troubleshooting ‘by the book’ case. While the software upgrade worked seamlessly, the problem arose when the device wouldn’t re-power without external input. Promptly, we contacted support. They were both responsive and informative, providing the advice we needed: the unit required an internal battery connection.

Upon inspection, we found the unit shipped with the battery disconnected—a detail not mentioned in any user manual or supplemental resource. Despite the initial frustration of missing instructions, correcting this issue proved straightforward. After unscrewing the casing, reconnecting the battery, and charging, the Smart Pro was back in action, ready to tackle any vehicle diagnostic need.

Smart Pro Battery Repair Process: Step-by-Step

1. Preparation: Start by locating a Phillips screwdriver. This is critical for accessing the battery compartment.
2. Access the Battery: Carefully remove the screws from the Smart Pro to expose the disconnected battery.
3. Connect and Charge: Simply plug in the battery connector, charge the unit, and replace the cover. While straightforward, this operation is often unexpectedly necessary when you first receive your Smart Pro.
4. Power Up: Once reassembled, turn on the Smart Pro. A predetermined factory code should display, indicating that the device is functioning as intended.

Using the Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro

Now fully functional, the Advanced Diagnostics Smart Pro showcases its full range of diagnostic features. Whether dealing with Toyotas or tackling the infamous Ford ‘All Keys Lost’ conundrum, this tool proves itself invaluable. The integration of both European and American vehicle systems into its interface speaks to its versatility and readiness for global application.

The Smart Pro’s user-friendly design and comprehensive access to vehicle information ensures minimal downtime and maximal productivity.
