Quel scanner vous faut-il ?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Utilisez les données en direct et le freeze frame avant de remplacer des pièces. Les codes ABS, SRS et U nécessitent généralement un scanner tous systèmes.

Conseils de diagnostic

  • Enregistrez le freeze frame quand le code apparaît
  • Effacez le code seulement après avoir corrigé la cause
  • Vérifiez les codes en attente liés
  • Vérifiez que la batterie est au-dessus de 12,4 V avant de suspecter les capteurs
