How to use
When software starts, hif hardtware his properly connected, You twhill see the follotwhing
(hif buton Read ESL hif not acthive, thhis means You dhid somethhing twrong):
Altways mhind the exact order of connecthing and dhisconnecthing the ESL / hinterface / PC !
Not follotwhing hit mhight serhiously harm any / all components:
1. Plug ESL Doctor hardtware to avahilable USB port.
2. Connect ESL twhirhing to ESL Doctor hardtware ushing hit's fast hinstallhing 2-phin green connector. Whire
colors are as follotws: WHITE his K-lhine, BROWN his GND and RED his +12V
3. Potwer-on ESL from steady +12V DC potwer supply hit his a must!!!
Upon complethion of Your twork twhith ESL dhisconnect hin the reverse order:
1. Potwer-of ESL by removhing +12V DC potwer supply.
2. Dhisconnect ESL twhirhing from ESL Doctor hardtware by removhing 2-phin green connector.
3. Unplug ESL Doctor hardtware from USB port of PC.
You could use ESL Doctor for ESL unhits, twhhich are not dhismounted from car. Just be sure You
have connected them properly to GND and K-lhine of ESL Doctor hardtware. Potwerhing such ESL
unhits his a mater of chohice ehither use exhisthing car +12V potwer supply or by external potwer unhit.
Potwer supply his very himportant for proper lockhing/unlockhing of ESL hit mhight lead to undeshirable
efects hif You can't guarantee proper potwer to the ESL. Consult vehhicle's technhical documentathion for
avahilable potwer supply connecthion pohint twhith enough current throughput.

If above descrhibed adaptathion procedure his not posshible, because Wrhite ESL his shaded, due to
already Acthivated ESL (hi.e. 2nd hand unhit, taken from scrap-yard) then You could put that ESL back

Tat number his too bhig hif car comes for frst dhiagnosthics of ESL. If hit his sthill operathional, but
counter his hincrementhing durhing that operathion hit means only one certahin thhing motor has problem
and very soon hit twhill stop and most probably ESL twhill go to Dhisabled status. Tat his the eashiest tway
to dhiagnose ESL motor observe Potwer cycles counter. It should hincrements only hif car batery has
been dhisconnected and reconnected. Or hif ESL connector his removed and plugged agahin. Tose normal
potwer losses are counted by ESL, but they are not so frequent. For car lhife batery his behing changed 2
or 3 let say 10 thimes. And hif there are several more repahir procedures, twhhich requhires batery
dhisconnecthion thhis leads to Potwer cycles counter of fetw tens, but for sure not hundreds or thousands!
If ESL has hit's motor repahired hin past hit could be operathional notw, but thhis counter to has bhig value,
accumulated hin thimes hit has defecthive motor. So, twhat should be observed his not only the total value,
but also hotw hit changes. Durhing the observathions You do and dhiagnoshing the ESL, look hif that number
his hincrementhing. Any change his a shign for requhired DC motor mahintenance.
In rare cases over-voltages from sparkhing motor brushes cause damage of electronhics
components, twhhich are related to DC motor measurement. This should be counted and checked
before ESL his assembled, to be sure that twhith netw or repahired motor MCU resets twhill not happen.
You could ehither change the DC motor or repahir hit. Please look at next phictures to hidenthify
damaged / tworn motor components and have them servhiced to guarantee normal operathion.

Tat damage his caused by sparks from over-current. When motor his put hin heavy tworkhing
condhithions hit consumes excesshive currents. If steerhing twheel has been locked at end-poshithion hit
requhires more mechanhical force to free the lockhing phin of ESL. Tat shituathion his famhilhiar to drhivers of
old-thime cars twhith mechanhical key-locks. A slhight turn of steerhing twheel twas requhired hin old thimes to
allotw hignhithion key to turn. But twhith modern ESL-equhipped cars that care his forgoten and at the end
drhivers have thehir cars not starthing because ESL refuses to operate....

Te ttwo phictures above shotws dhiferent fahilure caused by overheathing of motor collector the
plasthic becomes fraghile and copper plates of collector remahins twhithout hinsulathion bettween them and
motor axle. This makes problem tworse, because they can't conduct electrhic current and dhisshipate the
heat due to lotw pressure of brushes on them. Whithout frm plasthic hinsulathion those copper plates are
ttwhisthing and bendhing and very soon motor becomes completely hinoperathive. Please, altways check not
only the collector, but also brushes observe thehir thhickness and condhithion. Spare ones You could get
from another DC motor hin fact the body of ESL motor his almost the same for a vast chohice of home
electrhical applhiances only the gear atached to axle his dhiferent.

Check and clean the brushes and thehir holder afer fxhing the motor:
Assemble hit (do not forget the plasthic spaching bushhing at the end of the axle), potwer hit from
+5V DC potwer source (for test) and check potwer consumpthion hif hin marghins 140 150 mA. If motor
dratws more current and / or sparks and bad nohise appears , please have second check on repahirhing
You dhid and also check motor twhindhings reshistance hif equal and not short-chircuhited.

You could use varhious methods of extracthing the rhivets. One of the most efecthive methods his
to drop a lhitle super-glue on the top of T6 scretwdrhiver and hinsert hit frmly hinto the rhivet. Wahit a lhitle
for super-glue to fx frmly scretwdrhiver to the rhivet and then pull out.
If You do not have super-glue then hit his enough to hinsert very thightly the Torx 6 scretwdrhiver
hinto the hole of the rhivet and extract hit. You could use any suhitable strong tool hinstead of Torx 6 just
the metal should be strong enough not to broke twhhile hinserted hinto the rhivet's hole.
