With Godiag GT100 ECU breakout box connected additionally, you will know if the power voltage is normal and the CAN blue light on the machine will on to tell if Autel maxisys ultra have good communication with the ECU.
Use the OBD 2-in-1 extension cable (in Godiag GT100 package) to connect GT100 and Autel maxisys ultra.
3. Operation:
1) On Godiag GT100, press the “Power” button, then “12V (30)” & “12V (45)”, you will see it will display the voltage on the machine. It’s great.
2. Next, in the site of my recent purchased vehicle site, searching for PCM, then “Wiring diagram of Electronic Engine Controls -5.4L(25-1)”.
In the power distribution diagram you can see what pins go to.
The connectors have numbers of the pins at the end.
When something is connected incorrectly, no CAN Blue lights are shown.
Then I noticed I was missing a ground.
And still no CAN Blue lights
Then I go through the entire diagram just in case I missed something.
Oh right, don’t forget to connect everything before you continue.
Power sourcing is shorting somewhere, then to connect different power source.
Back to Autel maxisys ultra, tap “Diagnostics” > “EOBD” > “VIN Auto detect”, and I noticed there is still no CAN blue lights on Godiag GT100, during this time I double checked my connectors and realized I need to connect it to the middle connector. And we finally have some communication.
And Autel maxisys ultra decode VIN successfully and read out vehicle information.
I will search for the CKP sensor.
As you can see it is so valuable to have multitasking.
The primary issue was on vehicle the ckp sensor was sensing voltage to both the feed & the return.
With this Bench test I can rule out the issue being the ECU.

Autel MaxiIM IM608 is able to program the key for BMW CAS4 CAS4 + via OBD and does not need to dismantle the ECU box Important tips: Network connection is required during operation.
BMW F30 key programming for example:
Notes: For CAS4, Add key all key lost procedure is the same, no need to get ISN; For Cas4+ all key lost, go to ISN code management to try to read Engine ISN code first, if it is not supported, you need to get ISN code through other way.
– The other steps are as the same as add key. To check the type of CAS system, go to “ECU information” to check.
Procedure:
Plug Autel IM608 into the OBD2 port of BMW, tap “BMW”.

Lonsdor K518 is tested able to program Mitsubishi smart key when all keys lost, incl. Triton /2017-/, Xpander/2018-/, Pajero Sport /2017-, Mirage / 2014-.
MITSUBISHI\Generate LKE for all key lost:
Function
Generate LKE for all key lost：generate a LKE which can turn on dashboard to add keys.
Operation
Generate LKE for all key lost
This function needs to dismantle car IMMO and PEPS, use programmer to read EEPROM chip data(24C16/24C01/25C320 chip supported currently), and copy and save it to customfile folder in K518 memory, then load the EEPROM data to generate key emulator(LKE, similar to working key).
When all keys are lost, this function can generate a spare master key, then you can use this key to turn on dashboard to add other keys.
Please place a key emulator(LKE) into K518 card slot.
Generating…
Completed. PIN code: 0A11. Please put a spare key close to ignition switch, turn on dashboard, and enter [add key] menu to program new keys.
Attention
This function needs to dismantle car IMMO and PEPS, use programmer to read EEPROM chip data(24C16/24C01/25C320 chip supported currently), and copy and save it to customfile folder in K518s key programmer memory, than load the EEPROM data to generate key emulator(similar to working key).
When EEPROM chip type are 24C16, 24C01 or 25C320, this function supports all key lost programming.
