The following diagnostic functions are supported:

4.2 Actuator test

Actuator tests command the ECU to activate components and systems, such as injectors, the throttle valve, adaptive strategy, or the fuel pump, horn activation, moving electrical mirrors, switching lamps ON/ OFF etc. For many components, you can conduct an auditory test — a relay clicks or a pump vibrates. Be aware that actuators can be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, such as under the dashboard, hood, or trunk.

4.3 Read DTCs

Displays all stored and pending diagnostic trouble codes with their complete description (e.g. “9101 Fault in CAN communication with control unit ESP.”). The software supports saving the information to a file.

4.4 Clear DTCs

This function clears all stored diagnostic trouble codes. The software will show a text as soon as it gets a confirmation from the tested control module that the errors have been erased. To verify that the errors have actually been erased the user may click on “Read DTCs”.

4.5 Scan All
