The throttle body is one of those parts that can give you a lot of driveability issues when it's dirty or if it's going bad. So I'm going to do an active test on the 2017 Honda Accord that you can use on the electronic throttle body with Xtool D7. I've previously done it with Autel MK808Z before.
Connect D7 to car OBD.
Diagnosis >> HONDA >> 16PIN Connector >> USA >> System Selection >> Engine(ENG) >> Actuation Test >> Electronic Throttle Control Unit Test >> Electronic Throttle Control Unit Test
The throttle valve and relay are automatically activated.
Click "Yes" to continue.
Testing now...
Throttle Actuator Control Relay
Command State: normal -> off -> normal
Command Status Of Relays: open -> close -> open
Turn off the ignition switch.
Turn on the ignition switch.
The test is completed.
Throttle Actuator Control Relay
Normal system.
The next test is the activation of the throttle valve.
The next part is going to test the degree of correlation, between the opening angle commanded by the ECU and the actual response of the actuator in the throttle body.
Click "OK" to start testing.
The test is completed.
Normal system.
Compared to my Autel, it was way faster on the Xtool. Actually, D7 has upgraded to the new version Xtool D8/ D9 as well.
The ECU commanded that the butterfly plate open by 2.5 degrees, and the actuator responded by opening by 2.4 degrees. In this other frame, 20 degrees was commanded, and the actual was spot on. If there were wide variations between the commanded and the actual, the test would fail.
The first thing you want to do is to clean the throttle body. Maybe there's some carbon restricting the movement of the butterfly plate. If that fails, it might be the motor itself that is actually worn and would need to be replaced.
This article integrates several frequently asked questions and answers about Xtool D9 Pro Diagnostic Tool, hoping to help you.
Q1: Failed to generate a diagnostic report
1. Currently only the following diagnostic functions trigger a diagnostic report: read ECU information, read code and clear code, live data, and freeze frame. Other functions such as immobilization and maintenance services will not generate a diagnostic report.
2. After entering the Diagnostic menu, you need to perform one specific function before the system can generate a Diagnostic report.
3. After the Diagnostic test is completed, you need to go back to the previous menu step by step to generate the Diagnostic report successfully. If the APP is killed directly, the report cannot be triggered.
4. If the report still cannot be generated after troubleshooting according to the above prompts, please try to exit the APP, enter the system settings, and then choose to clear the APP cache, following the below path: Android System Setting >> Apps >> Diagnosis >> Clear Cache
Q2: How to print a diagnostic report?
The XTOOL D9 Pro is compatible with third-party print drivers. You can download the printer driver you need in the browser that comes with the tablet to install it, and then set your printer in the OS settings. After the configuration is completed, you can print Reports.
Q3: Failed to extract files
Since the D9 Pro tablet is equipped with an Android system, you have to confirm the system type of receiver.
For Android: supports transferring files via Bluetooth, USB cable, etc.;
For IOS: only supports transferring files through a wired connection (Bluetooth connection is not available).
Q4: How to generate and upload diagnostic log files?
The tablet will automatically generate and store diagnostic logs. When the device is connected to the Internet, it will automatically upload all the stored diagnostic logs to the backend system.
Q5: How to switch languages?
1. Contact your dealer and leave a message about the language you need and the S/N of your D9 Pro. The technician will modify the language configuration for you in the backend system.
2. Settings->Language->Choose language
3. Back to Updates to update all the software again
Q6: Failed to diagnose vehicle
1. Contact your dealer to confirm whether the vehicle model is supported by the scan tool.
2. Check whether the vehicle is properly connected (e.g. whether the ignition is ON, and the Diagnostic of some vehicles need to turn on the engine), If your tablet is equipped with a VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) box, please check the status of the VCI box indicator.
3. Confirm whether you have entered the correct Diagnostic menu.
4. Confirm whether the AUTO-SCAN function can assist you to enter the correct Diagnostic menu.
5. Check whether the software is the latest version. If not, please update to the latest version and retest.

Xtool D9 Pro can be used to reset the engine oil life system, which calculates the optimum oil life change interval based on the vehicle’s driving conditions and climate. The oil life reminder must be reset each time the oil is changed so that the system can calculate when the next oil change is required.
This function can be performed in the following cases:
① If the service lamp is on, you must provide service for the car. After service, you need to reset the driving mileage or driving time so that the service lamp turns off and the system enables the new service cycle.
② After changing engine oil or electric appliances that monitor oil life, you need to reset the service lamp.
The operation guidelines of the D9 Pro Oil Reset function are shown below:
1. Enter the Oil Reset menu and choose relevant models according to the vehicle being tested.
2. Follow the instructions displayed that are specific to the vehicle and press OK after completing the instructions shown:
3. Enter the Maintenance mileage reset menu.
4. Click INPUT and enter a reasonable value of remaining oil life and press OK
5. Confirm the [New Value] you just entered, and then click OK at the bottom right to complete the procedure.
6. Message ‘Write successfully’ displays when the Oil Reset function has been successfully performed.

② Detect the circuitry to check the working status of each module or pathway of the VCI box.
Step 3. When everything is ready, click "Ready to self-test".
Step 4. The self-test procedure checks the communication status of each line and displays it in the list as shown below.
Note: If the communication status of a certain line is NG, it may affect the models based on those lines. If the self-test fails, please do not diagnose the car with the faulty line.

This post will show you how to use Xtool X100 Pad Plus key programmer to add keys/all keys lost on Honda Accord 2020.
Part 1. Check the number of keys
Click “Immobilization – Honda – By vehicle – Accord – Smart key – Button type” to enter the system, then this menu will show up.
Click “Number of read keys” and it will show the number of keys that are registered to the vehicle.
Part 2. Add Keys
Click the “Add smart key” menu, then check the notice from the screen.
Because this vehicle is paired with smart keys, we need to take all the keys out of the vehicle before programming, then put the original key inside the car.
Now the system will configure the data and after it’s done, take the smart key out from the car first.
Then take a new key and put it into the car.
Then it will start processing. You need to follow the instructions and turn the ignition on and off for several times when processing. Then the system will pop up a notice, telling you to check if the security
light on the dashboard goes off.
If it really goes off, press “Yes”, wait for a while, and the process will be done.
Part 3. All Key Lost
Click the “All smart keys lost” menu and this notice will show up. Follow the instructions and take all the keys out of the car, then click “OK” to continue.
Then put one of the new keys inside the car.
Then press and hold the start button, and press “OK” to continue.
After that, please check the ignition status. Because this is an all-key-lost situation and normally the ignition will not turn on, we click “No” here.
Then it will check the model. Because this is a 2020 model, we select “Yes” here.
Now input the number of keys you’re going to program; we choose 1 here.
Like the “add key” process, it needs you to turn the ignition on and off for several times. After that, check the security light on the dashboard.
Then the instructions will tell you to turn the ignition on and off again. It will show “Program Success” when it’s done.
Tip: We suggest checking all the keys every time after you programmed the key.
