Guest / Registered User

What you can do without a subscription

Guest / Registered User access provides the following engine and other drive-system capabilities. Calibration actions depend on equipment eligibility.

• Read faults and dataplate information.
• Perform calibration revision updates, if eligible.
• Perform calibration campaigns, if eligible.
• Use ADEPT Route Parameter Manager support.
• Use Predictive Service.
• Share information via email.
• Use the simulator.

For power systems, the no-subscription capabilities shown in the subscription chart are reading faults and dataplate information and using the simulator. Use DTK Windows for power systems; DTK Mobile does not support PowerGen connections. See Power generation workflows.

Before connecting

Register DTK and sign in before connecting to equipment. Use a supported, powered datalink adapter. Internet access is needed to retrieve equipment make and model information and to open Faults and Analysis.

DTK Windows: connect an adapter

1. From the home page, select Analyze Equipment or Scan Faults.
2. Review the USB adapters and paired Bluetooth adapters. A previously paired Bluetooth adapter nearby can appear as available.
3. Select the adapter you are using to continue the connection.

See Connect to an engine for the full connection procedure.

DTK Mobile: pair and connect an adapter

For initial pairing of an INLINE Mini, hold the reset button at the end of the adapter for about 2-3 seconds. Its light flashes for about 2 minutes; pair the device within that time. Identify the adapter using the last few digits of the serial number on its label.

For later connections, the device can find the previously paired adapter without pressing the adapter button again. Follow the Android or iOS pairing instructions in Connect to an engine.

Intake in DTK Windows and DTK Mobile

1. During intake, DTK connects through the selected datalink adapter and retrieves vehicle information, the engine serial number (ESN), and Customer Name. Review and correct the information as needed.
2. Choose whether to create an ECM image during intake using Create ECM Image. Its default selection is controlled on the Settings page.
3. Confirm the ESN. DTK retrieves the equipment manufacturer and model list from the server and preselects information from warranty data and the ECM when available.
4. Confirm the manufacturer and model selections before continuing.

If the manufacturer list is missing, there may be no data for the ESN, no internet connection, or server maintenance or downtime. See Connect to an engine for additional intake information.

Equipment Dataplate

In both tools, open Equipment Dataplate from Equipment Summary or Engine Dataplate. It contains entered equipment information, including Customer Name, manufacturer, and model, along with other equipment details. See Equipment Dataplate.

View ECM faults

In both tools, select Faults on the ECM Device Dashboard to open Faults and Analysis. Internet connectivity is required. This screen displays Primary, Related, and Unprioritized faults. See View faults.

Scan Faults on DTK Windows and DTK Mobile

Selecting Scan Faults takes you directly to the Faults page without fault prioritization. You can only view the faults; you cannot reset them or access the FIS file. You can return to the dashboard, where only limited options are available. On DTK Mobile, an event folder is created for the session. See Scan Faults.

View event folders

• DTK Windows: From the Start screen, select Service History and Files.
• DTK Mobile: From the Start screen, select History and Templates.

View Event Folder Details by selecting an event in the Event Folders screen or selecting the bottom-left icon on the chyron.

Eligible calibration updates and campaigns

No-subscription access includes calibration revision updates and calibration campaigns when the equipment is eligible.

For campaign calibration installation through Analyze Equipment on DTK Mobile, an invalid ESN detected during intake prompts you to enter a valid ESN. Follow the applicable eligibility checks and calibration instructions in Update the calibration.
