DoIP & CAN FD Protocol Support

The MX900 supports modern automotive communication technologies including DoIP and CAN FD.

These protocols are increasingly used on newer-generation vehicles and allow the MX900 to communicate with compatible modern vehicle networks.

This makes the scanner suitable for servicing both existing vehicles and many newer vehicle platforms.

Live Data & Data Graphing

The MX900 allows technicians to view real-time information directly from vehicle control modules.

Live data can be displayed and graphed to help identify irregular sensor readings, intermittent faults, and vehicle performance issues.

Examples may include:

• Engine RPM
• Coolant temperature
• Fuel trim
• Oxygen sensor readings
• Battery voltage
• Airflow information
• Throttle position
• Transmission data
• ABS sensor information
• Other available ECU parameters

Graphing live data can make it easier to compare values and identify abnormal operating conditions.

Read & Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Quickly identify stored, pending, and available diagnostic trouble codes from supported vehicle systems.

After completing repairs, technicians can clear applicable fault codes and rescan the vehicle to verify the repair.

The MX900 also provides access to freeze-frame information where supported, helping technicians understand the vehicle conditions present when a fault was originally recorded.

8″ Touchscreen Diagnostic Tablet

The MX900 features an 8-inch touchscreen display designed to provide clear access to diagnostic menus, fault codes, live data, and vehicle information.

Its tablet-style interface makes it convenient for technicians working around a vehicle while maintaining enough screen space for diagnostic graphs and detailed system information.

Android 11 Operating System

Powered by Android 11, the MaxiCheck MX900 provides a modern and responsive diagnostic interface.

Combined with its 1.8 GHz processor, the tablet is designed for smooth navigation between vehicle systems, diagnostic scans, active tests, and service functions.
