How to do Cylinder & Engine Speed Test via Thinkcar ThinkDiag?

Today I’m going to use the Thinkcar ThinkDiag device to do some bi-directional tests on a 2015 Chevrolet Suburban. Following I’ll demonstrate how to perform cylinder test & engine speed test.

Plug ThinkDiag into the OBD2 port, we’ll hear a beep and see the green light indicating that is connected.

Turn ignition on, press

All systems full function >> Next step >> System selection >> Engine control module(ECM) >> Actuation test >> Cylinder deactivation

We can test each cylinder individually here. Turn it on to start the test, the vehicle will turn off automatically.

Cylinder 1 >> On

We can go to test all cylinders here.

Cylinder deactivation system >> Enabled >> Disabled

Let’s go to test the engine speed now.

We’re able to do is actually increase the engine speed at idle, so you can hear it revving up to 2000rpm. 

Press “Release control”, it will just go back to the default position.

Engine speed/throttle >> Engine speed >> OK >> Increase >> Release control

This is using ThinkDiag OBD2 Scanner to do bi-directional tests which is one of the 15 special functions. The powerful & professional functions make it worth the money.

2015 Chevy Suburban Oil Reset via Thinkcar ThinkDiag

Today I’m going to do an engine oil reset on a 2015 Chevrolet Suburban with this small OBD2 Scanner Thinkcar ThinkDiag. If your oil light comes on or if you’re near a mileage and you need to change the oil. Then you can go ahead and reset it with this device.

So let’s go ahead and do it now:

Insert ThinkDiag into the OBD2 port of Chevy, turn the ignition on.

There is a maintenance light “Change engine oil soon” on the dashboard. That is why I’m gonna do it today.

Open ThinkDiag app on a phone.

ThinkStore >> More >> GM >> Automatically search >> Yes >> OK

Yes >> System selection >> Engine control module(ECM) >> Special functions >> Reset functions

Engine oil life reset >> Engine oil life remaining >> Input a decimal number between 0-100 >> OK >> Continue

Procedure complete, press “OK”.

The notification on the dashboard has gone.

The oil set is successful!

Once we drive 5000 more miles or however long our car is set for, it will get another notification. Just go in there and reset it again after changing the oil.

Thinkcar ThinkDiag is a small powerful diagnostic tool that costs under 100 pounds and it does so many maintenance services like oil reset, steering angle calibration, ABS bleeding, anti-theft matching, tooth learning...and so on.
