Autel MaxiSYS MS908S Pro Functions

1. Full System Diagnostics on Various Vehicles

Access all vehicle ECU systems via AutoVIN or Control Unit selection to locate faults and retrieve DTCs across every available module.

• ECU Information — Retrieves and displays detailed ECU information
• Read Codes — Displays comprehensive DTC records retrieved from the vehicle control module
• Erase Codes — Clears DTC records and related data from the ECM
• Live Data — Retrieves and displays real-time data and parameters from the vehicle ECU
• Active Test — Performs targeted subsystem and component tests

2. ECU Programming & ECU Coding

The MS908S Pro includes a J2534 ECU programming device and BMW Ethernet Cable (for F-Series coding and programming), enabling replacement of existing ECU software and firmware, programming of new Mercedes-Benz and BMW ECUs, resolution of software-controlled drivability and emission issues, and updating vehicle computer software to the latest version.

• Coding — Reprograms adaptive data for vehicle control modules following repairs or parts replacement
• Reprogramming — Downloads the latest software version from the online server database automatically when the tablet is connected to the internet — no manual software subscription management required

Important Notes

• Ensure the tablet is connected to the internet before using the ECU programming function to access the manufacturer's server
• ECU programming is supported for BMW and Mercedes-Benz only
• Programming and coding functions require connection via the J2534 programming device as a Pass-Thru interface — available operations vary by vehicle and are displayed in the menu

3. Full Bi-Directional Control

The MS908S Pro supports bi-directional control to monitor and verify vehicle operating conditions. The ECM's Component Test bi-directional control enables the MS908S Pro to transmit commands directly to operate vehicle systems for accurate component and system testing.

4. 25+ Special Service Functions

The service section provides quick access to a comprehensive range of scheduled service and maintenance tasks including Brake Bleed, Oil Reset, EPB, TPMS Sensor Activation, BMS, DPF, IMMO Keys, Injector, SAS, Suspension, Throttle, Window / Door / Roof, Seats, Odometer, Language Change, Tire Size Change, TEC Learn, ABS / SRS, Cylinder, Turbocharging, Limit, Clutch, Transmission Adaptation, Airbag Reset, and Headlamp. Please verify vehicle compatibility before ordering as not all functions are universal.

• Oil Reset — Resets the engine oil life system and calculates the optimal oil change interval based on driving conditions and climate
• EPB Service — Maintains the electronic braking system by deactivating and activating brake control, assisting with brake fluid control, opening and closing brake pads, and setting brakes after disc pad replacement
• SAS Service — Performs steering angle sensor calibration and permanently stores the current straight-ahead steering wheel position in the sensor EEPROM
• DPF Service — Carries out a full range of functions for the Diesel Particulate Filter system
• TPMS Service — Retrieves tire sensor IDs from the vehicle ECU and performs TPMS programming and reset procedures after tire sensor replacement

5. Additional Features and Functions

Beyond its core diagnostic and service capabilities, the MS908S Pro includes a rich selection of additional tools including Remote Desk, MaxiFix, Shop Manager, Digital Inspection, MaxiScope, and more.

• Remote Desk — Receive fast and secure remote support from Autel's support center, colleagues, or friends via TeamViewer — allowing them to control your MaxiCOM tablet directly from their PC
• MaxiFix — A cloud-based platform that enables technicians to network, access a database of repair procedures, diagnostic tools, and shared knowledge from fellow professionals
• Digital Inspection & MaxiScope — The diagnostic scanner works in conjunction with the Autel automotive oscilloscope MP408 for electrical and electronic circuit testing and signal activity monitoring — also supports detailed vehicle inspection using the Autel digital inspection camera MV105 / MV10B

Active Tests / Bi-Directional Control

The MS908S Pro supports bi-directional control for specific car systems, allowing technicians to test various systems and parts by activating the engine ECU data or monitoring actuator outputs such as solenoid fields, pump motor tests, relay operation, and switching between two operating states.

ECU Programming for BMW & Mercedes-Benz

The MS908S Pro uses SAE J2534 Pass-Thru to replace existing ECU software and firmware and program new ECUs for BMW and Mercedes-Benz to resolve software-controlled drivability and emission issues. The vehicle's BMW VIN number should be verified for compatibility before use. ECU programming on vehicles other than BMW and Mercedes-Benz is not currently supported.

Advanced ECU Coding Function

Updates vehicle computer software to the latest version, recodes adaptive data for components after repairs or replacements, improves driving performance, fuel efficiency, and reduces power loss. Available coding operations vary by vehicle — only available operations are displayed in the menu. ECU coding is not universally compatible — please verify before purchase.

Note: Key programming is not universally compatible. For BMW, VW, and high-end brands, IMMO and Key Programming tools such as the Autel IM508 or IM608 are recommended.

Auto Scan & Auto VIN Feature

The Auto VIN function identifies CAN vehicles with one touch, allowing quick scanning of all systems and full diagnostics on the selected vehicle. Note: Auto VIN does not work on all vehicles — you can always navigate through the vehicle menu manually.

Diagnostic Data Review, Analysis & Remote Support

Includes live data function for viewing and recording data streams for later review. The MS908S Pro Data Manager allows uploading of diagnostic logs to the Autel server. Supports Digital Inspection with the MV108 inspection camera for hard-to-reach area inspection. Also compatible with Oscilloscope and ADAS software — sold separately.

Note: The MS908S Pro is widely used in US workshops and trusted by mechanics and automotive technicians. It programs ECUs on BMW and Mercedes-Benz only — it cannot program ECUs on any other brand.
