Xhorse Condor II Error Code 6 Working Solution

 Here comes the solution to Xhorse Condor XC-Mini Plus II error code 6. Hope it helps if the same error occurs.

Solution:

When decoding or cutting keys by Condor  2, Error Code 6 indicates abnormal conductivity in the probe or cutter.

Follow the step-by-step guide below to solve it.

Step 1: Conductivity Test

Perform a conductivity measurement to diagnose the problem:

1.Navigate to Settings > Machine Test > Electrical Conductivity Measurement.

2.Follow the on-screen prompts to connect either the probe or cutter (not both).

3.Start the test.

 

Step 2: Test Results

If both the probe and cutter light up green simultaneously:

This indicates a short circuit between the probe and cutter.

 

Step 3: Inspect for Iron Filings

Check for iron filings around the three screws above the probe.

Clean the area thoroughly to remove all debris.

 

Step 4: Reinstall Screws

If the problem persists, remove the three screws above the probe.

Clean the area around the hole to ensure no iron filings remain.

Reinstall the screws, but:

Do not overtighten, as this can damage the insulation plastic ring on the screws, causing a short circuit.

Step 5: Check Conductive Wires

Restart the test. If the probe green light turns on before connecting:

• Indicates the probe is in a short circuit state.

Inspect the conductive wires on the probe disk for damage.

• Damaged wires should be wrapped with insulating tape.

Conclusion:

Retest conductivity using the Xhorse Condor XC Mini Plus II Key Cutting Machine’s test interface.

If the issue persists, consider replacing faulty components or contacting the manufacturer.

Xhorse Dolphin II No Aluminium Key Option Solution

 Question:

Where is the option for aluminium key in Xhorse dolphin xp005l I can’t find it having to use old dolphin XP005.

Answer:

You have to use the M2 clamp.
There is no such an option for the M5 clamp. The Plastic key/aluminium key function was removed.

Xhorse engineer solution:

For keys made of normal conductive materials, place them directly for cutting. For keys made of non-conductive materials, place the keys normally at the beginning of cutting. When the milling cutter starts to rotate, click Pause. After changing the key, click Continue Cutting.

 

1. Mount blank metal and machine to do a detection test.
2. After detection finishes, simple click PAUSE, swap blade.
3. Click RESUME, this is just 1 step before the spindle start, so no more blank key detection.

 

Customer simple solution.
Take a metal version key blank and I use the should stopper against the back edge of the clamp, so when u put the key blank in the clamp the tip of the key hits the shoulder stopper ur holding fast up against the clamp.
Then let the machine “located” the key. then as soon as it turns the motor on hit pause.
Then take the metal blank out and swap it with the aluminum blank. again using the shoulder stop to stop the tip of the key.
Then hit continue.
Some people do this for JLR hu101 keys

It works fork plastic keys (HU66) too.

Xhorse Condor Mini Plus Cut Plastic Keys

 How to cut plastic car keys using Xhorse Condor XC-Mini Plus? The VW Passat/CC and old BMW all have plastic keys for emergency blade, so this is a very useful tip for locksmiths. You can follow the tip if you have any other Xhorse Key Cutting Machine.

*You can’t nornally just put the plastic key on clamp for direct decoding or cutting.

 

• You should LISHI the door or figure out the bitting codes at first.

 

• Then once you do that, put a metal key on the clamp and perform “Cut Key”. When the probe dedects it, pause Xhorse Condor machine right before it starts cutting.

 

• Change the metal key into plastic key and put it on the clamp.

 

• Hit “Cut” to continue key cutting. You can just repeat the same operation for the other side cutting.

That’s the key we cut it now. Let’s test it.

Yep, so it does work, it can open the door.

Done.
